B. moved the Court in these words Desiring to know what priviledge the Law of the Land allowed the Prisoners in making exceptions against the Jury men this he desired to know of the Bench he said because he did not know the particular points of the Law in that case To which the Deputy Recorder answered they might make exceptions if they had good reasons for it but the Persons being strangers to all the Prisoners they made no exceptions having no knowledge of the men and so could not well except against any of them The Jury been sworn the several Indictments were read in the Court E.

This being read by the Clerk he proceeded to give the Jury their Charge on this wise That whereas the Prisoner at the Bar stood Indicted for an Vnlawful and Tumultuous Meeting under pretence of Worship contrary to the Law of the Land as in the Form of the Indictment they had heard and had pleaded not guilty of the said Indictment Therefore according to their Oaths they were to make true inquiry between our Lord the King the Prisoner at the Bar in the case for which he stood Indicted and without favour or affection to try the matter and give their verdict according to their evidence whether the Prisoner were guilty in Form and Matter as he stood Indicted This was the sum of the Charge given to the Jury This being done E. Burroughs in particular was set to the Bar and three men called by Name for to give evidence to wit William Branch Thomas Glover and Henry Walker all of them of the Parish of Mary Maudlyn's Old Fishstreet all of whom took their Oath according to form That they should speak the Truth and nothing but the Truth concerning the matter inquired of them as God should help them And having taken their Oaths they were bid to look upon the Prisoner and speak what they could say concerning him as to the matter for which he stood there Indicted Accordingly the first began to speak on this wise That whereas he being an Officer in Captain Coulchester's Company was commanded by his Captain on a certain day being the Sabbath day as he said to go with three files of Musqueteers to the Bull and Mouth where the Quakers were met in Order to break their Meeting as he was commanded and then and there he found the said people met together to the number of about three or four hundred as he might suppose but justly he could not tell how many and amongst them this same Mr. Burroughs said he now at the Bar this same person was standing upon a place and speaking amongst them speaking yes Preaching to them in their way said he and further he commanded his party to martch up the Meeting to the place where this Person now at the Bar stood and he bad him come down and cease speaking but he would not but made some resistance whereupon he commanded his men to pull him down by force which accordingly they did and then took him out of the Meeting and he and his men guarded him to Pauls where their main guard was and he delivered him this same person now at the Bar to his Captain and this I testifie upon my Oath said he c. This done the second person was called to speak what he could say in that case concerning the Prisoner at the Bar to which he said he could say to the same purpose that the person before had testified That whereas he was one of that partie commanded to go to the Bull and Mouth where the Quakers were met together and there they found this same Edward Burroughs now at the Bar Preaching amongst the People and according to command they pulled him down and took him away to their Captain and this was all he could say Then the third evidence was called and he was asked by the Court what he could say in the Case concerning the Prisoner his answer was That he had onely to say what the other two before him had said That whereas he was one of the party of Souldiers commanded to go to the Quakers Meeting and there was this man now at the Bar standing up and Preaching amongst them and they pulled him down and took him away to their Captain and he had no more to say Thus the evidences gave witness and this was the sum of what was said by them all Then the Deputy Recorder asked of them if they were certain this Prisoner was the self same man and how many people they thought were at the Meeting to which they all answered yes they were sure this same person was the man and there might be some hundreds at the Meeting but how many they could not justly tell Then the Court spoke to E. Burroughs and asked him What he had to say for himself in this matter he stood there Indicted and had pleaded not guilty and he had heard the Witnesses against him and if he had ought to say he might now speak To which he began to speak on this wise That he was glad he was permitted to speak in defence of his Cause and he hoped they would fully hear
