governor_n of_o these_o three_o kingdom_n be_v who_o narrow_o search_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o thing_n before_o they_o pass_v it_o by_o as_o credit_v or_o contradict_v so_o that_o we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o accept_v and_o receive_v for_o currant_n what_o they_o confirm_v than_o what_o three_o false_a suborner_n will_v fain_o blow_v up_o unto_o our_o understanding_n to_o the_o contrary_a who_o design_n intent_n and_o purpose_n be_v as_o above_o cite_v and_o as_o i_o shall_v more_o ample_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o these_o say_v three_o suborn_a witness_n that_o false_o and_o contumelious_o contradict_v the_o king_n evidence_n who_o pass_v through_o such_o purificatory_a of_o trial_n as_o they_o have_v do_v i_o say_v it_o be_v very_o hard_o if_o such_o enormity_n commit_v against_o king_n and_o government_n shall_v pass_v without_o correction_n now_o i_o must_v turn_v to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o the_o say_v three_o suborn_v witness_n or_o evidence_n who_o name_n be_v above_o cite_v i_o be_o acquaint_v with_o two_o of_o they_o but_o one_o who_o name_n be_v elie_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o i_o but_o i_o find_v by_o a_o relative_a account_n i_o have_v have_v of_o he_o how_o he_o design_v to_o carry_v on_o this_o subornation_n which_o be_v the_o last_o of_o many_o monstrous_a and_o horrible_a cheat_n he_o have_v commit_v control_v and_o contract_v this_o many_o year_n in_o england_n but_o of_o this_o particular_a you_o shall_v hear_v more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o ensue_a part_n of_o this_o treatise_n and_o now_o i_o must_v come_v to_o hint_n of_o his_o two_o confederate_n who_o be_v my_o acquaintance_n and_o of_o the_o say_v two_o i_o do_v intend_v to_o treat_v who_o think_v to_o invest_v themselves_o with_o a_o pretend_a coat_n of_o loyalty_n to_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n of_o great_a britain_n france_n and_o ireland_n but_o the_o say_a coat_n be_v but_o a_o second-hand_n one_o and_o bare-thread_n wear_v and_o the_o colour_n of_o it_o be_v black_a and_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o colour_n black_a be_v to_o wear_v or_o rot_v away_o soon_o than_o any_o other_o colour_n shall_v by_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v too_o much_o boil_a in_o the_o die_a but_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o a_o trade_n that_o i_o have_v no_o more_o skill_n in_o than_o the_o above_o three_o gentleman_n have_v in_o choose_v such_o a_o rot_a garb_n which_o wear_v out_o so_o soon_o and_o tear_v so_o unexpected_o that_o the_o rent_n appear_v so_o strange_o as_o that_o soon_o their_o nakedness_n be_v espy_v and_o discover_v which_o more_o plain_o to_o let_v you_o understand_v it_o their_o knavery_n and_o subornation_n be_v descry_v and_o as_o it_o be_v think_v afterward_o may_v ensue_v that_o their_o iniquity_n shall_v not_o pass_v uncorrected_a but_o now_o in_o the_o interim_n notwithstanding_o their_o great_a dependency_n upon_o the_o main_a supporter_n of_o subornation_n as_o that_o we_o see_v for_o all_o the_o combination_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o devil_n their_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o light_v to_o their_o shame_n and_o confusion_n so_o as_o that_o they_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o make_v they_o apron_n of_o figtree_n leave_v to_o hide_v the_o iniquity_n and_o wickedness_n of_o their_o sinful_a devilish_a and_o malicious_a undertake_n which_o to_o my_o understanding_n i_o can_v term_v it_o better_o for_o whoever_o he_o or_o they_o be_v that_o be_v lead_v away_o by_o the_o wicked_a instigation_n of_o satan_n be_v hire_v or_o bribe_v to_o take_v false_a oath_n and_o bind_v themselves_o in_o covenant_n with_o the_o devil_n irrevocable_o and_o that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v ransack_v their_o conscience_n and_o make_v a_o shipwreck_n of_o they_o as_o these_o three_o suborner_n have_v do_v though_o indeed_o i_o must_v confess_v they_o be_v put_v on_o so_o to_o do_v by_o the_o counfounder_n of_o christianity_n religion_n godliness_n holiness_n and_o piety_n and_o all_o other_o christian_a law_n and_o government_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n whatsoever_o with_o a_o general_a indulgence_n for_o so_o do_v for_o to_o confound_v the_o king_n the_o church_n government_n and_o kingdom_n of_o these_o three_o nation_n expect_v that_o this_o late_a most_o abominable_a and_o horrible_a plot_n shall_v be_v place_v as_o a_o perpetual_a stain_n over_o the_o head_n of_o protestant_n the_o proposal_n of_o the_o which_o contrivance_n be_v thus_o that_o if_o the_o say_v three_o suborner_n can_v or_o will_v whether_o right_a or_o wrong_n take_v their_o oath_n that_o they_o know_v such_o contract_n in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o chief_a and_o strong_a evidence_n the_o king_n have_v as_o that_o what_o they_o several_a time_n depose_v upon_o oath_n and_o manifest_o prove_v in_o such_o a_o through_o and_o emphatical_a manner_n as_o that_o all_o person_n of_o whatsoever_o degree_n dignity_n or_o quality_n dare_v not_o nor_o will_v scruple_n that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o as_o be_v endue_v with_o common_a sense_n reason_n or_o understanding_n but_o the_o say_a evidence_n of_o the_o king_n speak_v nothing_o but_o real_a and_o manifest_a truth_n in_o what_o they_o have_v declare_v or_o depose_v as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o plot._n but_o the_o ancient_a antipathy_n and_o malice_n of_o rome_n be_v still_o bend_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v during_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o roman_n to_o do_v all_o the_o mischief_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o government_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o power_n and_o to_o this_o end_n they_o think_v to_o make_v themselves_o more_o drink_v with_o the_o cup_n of_o abomination_n and_o then_o to_o vomit_v it_o out_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o english_a irish_a and_o scottish_a protestant_n when_o they_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o break_v the_o veil_n that_o cover_v and_o hide_v their_o untolerable_a wickedness_n and_o let_v their_o shameful_a deed_n be_v see_v in_o and_o through_o the_o world_n but_o they_o who_o much_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o magician_n of_o egypt_n as_o often_o as_o moses_n through_o and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n turn_v the_o rod_n to_o several_a vivificant_fw-la or_o lively_a posture_n of_o twelve_o creature_n so_o the_o egyptian_a magician_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n work_v a_o formal_a resemblance_n to_o that_o which_o the_o man_n of_o god_n and_o by_o his_o power_n act_v which_o thus_o imply_v that_o as_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o discover_v to_o let_v the_o people_n of_o england_n see_v the_o malicious_a naked_a sword_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v ready_a to_o cut_v their_o throat_n so_o the_o popish_a party_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n with_o their_o magical_a spell_n of_o money_n think_v to_o raise_v such_o perverse_a perjure_a suborner_n for_o to_o swear_v that_o the_o plot_n be_v first_o contrive_v and_o hatch_v by_o the_o protestant_a party_n upon_o the_o which_o sound_v of_o the_o magic_a money_n art_n the_o above_z mention_v captain_n elie_n sympson_n tongue_n and_o john_n crawley_n contrive_v together_o and_o think_v it_o a_o great_a prey_n and_o cry_v one_o to_o another_o come_v let_v we_o go_v to_o the_o popish_a party_n and_o swear_v three_o oath_n that_o doctor_n tonge_n doctor_n oat_n captain_n bedloe_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o first_o contriver_n of_o the_o popish_a plot_n and_o that_o they_o have_v so_o contrive_v it_o as_o that_o they_o make_v the_o king_n averse_a against_o his_o subject_n and_o expel_v some_o of_o they_o into_o foreign_a country_n banish_v some_o of_o they_o that_o be_v in_o great_a favour_n at_o court_n and_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o privilege_n of_o bear_v office_n or_o commission_n of_o magistracy_n under_o he_o within_o his_o jurisdiction_n or_o dominion_n i_o say_v as_o to_o the_o say_a suborner_n that_o their_o hand_n be_v grease_v and_o their_o lip_n anoint_a for_o to_o exclaim_v against_o the_o king_n evidence_n in_o hope_n they_o may_v procure_v more_o people_n to_o compact_n with_o they_o in_o perjury_n and_o subornation_n and_o they_o will_v share_v with_o they_o in_o what_o money_n they_o can_v receive_v upon_o that_o account_n i_o have_v give_v you_o thus_o far_o a_o account_n of_o the_o subornation_n of_o these_o three_o person_n and_o now_o i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v what_o three_o person_n they_o be_v their_o intent_n design_n and_o purpose_n as_o i_o have_v promise_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o my_o forego_v line_n that_o captain_n elie_n who_o be_v the_o chief_a
