How long have you had it Dr. Oates I was restored to it last Summer Recorder He says That he had Discourse with him concerning his Priesthood Whether Mr. Oates thought himself to be a good Priest that is as he was made by the Order of the Church of England Att. Gen. He says He converted Mr. Oates to be a Papist Dr. Oates And I have a Charge of High Treason against that man for seducing me from my Religion my Lord. I will swear he turn'd me to the Church of Rome and I desire it may be recorded Dr. D. I have one thing to tell your Lordship the man is mad he is distracted L. C. J. This Doctor of Divinity is a very honest man he will tell you Dr. D. He was my Curate at Barkin and my Lord of London having some Information against the manner of his Preaching sent me word to Rippon he would provide me another Curate On Saturday last dining with him my Lord told me he was distracted Recorder His Behaviour is a very concurrent Testimony J. Raymond I appeal to my Lord if I did not tell him as he came into the Court that he was a distracted man L. C. J. Call another Witness Prisoner Here 's a Gentleman was his School-fellow at Vallodolid I ask you Mr. Armstrong Whether you knew any thing of Mr. Oates there L. C. J. How long had he been there Armstrong He was Three months there before me L. C. J. How long was he there in all Armstrong A matter of a moneth L. C. J. Was he not there Four months Armstrong Yes a matter of Four months in all L. C. J. He says He had been there Three months before he came and a month after he came and that then he was but a common Scholar Dr. Oates My Lord I will satisfie the Court when they question me L. C. J. In what would you satisfie us Dr. Oates About being a Scholar I was ready to commence when they came but being they were Strangers in the Town not being Town Scholars and not undertaking Philosophical Dictates the Fathers did pray me to shew them the way to School and I went with them two or three times L. C. J. Call another my Lord. Prisoner Mr. Palmer and Mr. Dorrington L. C. J. Did you know Mr. Oates at St. Omers Palmer Yes my Lord and he was an ordinary Scholar there and dined and supp'd with us L. C. J. You said he dined at another Table Palmer Yes my Lord he did dine at a Table by himself but it was at the same time Dr. Oates Had I Scholars Commons Pray my Lord ask them that Palmer He had the same Commons that we had but they had a respect for him as he was an ancienter man and that was the reason that he had more freedom than the rest Prisoner My Lord He says he came from St. Omers at the Consult Pray Sir who did you come along with Did you come with Hilsley Dr. Oates Hilsley came with me in the Pacquet-boat Prisoner Call Mr. Hilsley and Osbourne My Lord this Gentleman I would bring nothing to offend your Lordship or nothing that hath been old if it had not some new inference from it Therefore my Lord this is the reason that I sent for Mr. Hilsley Mr. Hilsley did you come with Mr. Oates in April in the Pacquet-boat Hilsley No my Lord. Prisoner You left him at St. Omers Hilsley Yes my Lord. Prisoner Now my Lord I have several Witnesses to prove this And pray Mr. Osbourn tell my Lord what he said to you Osbourn My Lord about the latter end of April I heard Mr. Hilsley was in Town I went to see him and one time at a Coffee-house about the Turnstile wâ— fell in Discourse L. C. J. My Lord you say you have two Persons of Quality I will tell you my Lord what you shall expect I will not be for one and not for t'other but be equal as near as I can If he comes only to testifie what Hilsley told him it signifies nothing Prisoner I do depend upon Hilsley but this is that Hilsley told him That there was one Oates at St. Omers L. C. J. That is no Evidence nor can Ladies of Quality prove by their own Experience what Mr. Hilsley affirms That Oates came not over with him Prisoner My Lord They can tell and one Lady a Protestant that talking with this Gentleman before the Plot L. C. J. This is only Discourse what another man says If Mr. Oates himself should have said so then indeed it is proper but to shew you this it is impossible supposing they speak truth that is if they do witness what they do not That long before they heard of the Name of Oates this Gentlemau should tell them one Oates was left at St. Omers it signifies nothing Prisoner Does not that confirm Mr. Hilsley's testimony L. C. J. No indeed Prisoner I only refer this to you my Lord Hilsley says in April he did leave Oates and here are four or five Witnesses that Hilsley told them so J. Jones All that my Lord says is this That he did leave Mr. Oates at St. Omers If it be objected They are Catholicks as they call them says my Lord Hilsley did tell this Story before there was any Plot. Why should he tell them so It is not in favour of that Religion that he speaks but the time of testifying such a thing shews he speaks true This is all Prisoner This is the Inference This is only to corroborate and shew you the credit of his testimony J. Raymond It may be a mistake though and it is of no more force than what he says now Att. Gen. They were all mistaken in that matter Dr. Oates My Lord he did leave me at St. Omers but I overtook him at Calais L. C. J. Will you swear it Mr. Oates Dr. Oates I say upon my Oath I did it L. C. J.
