ANd without proving what we say, but as saying and doing, which are two, like to a cypher alone: and of more concernment these three witnesses in earth, then supposed, what power indued with, whereof as insues in relation to the three in the high Court of Heaven (Joh. &c.) they stiled Iudges of the Earth (to wit) the grave and prudent Barons of Exchequer; Et hi tres unum, &c. Mr. Baron Trevare, the Ancient of days in his likeness, His voyce gone out into all Lands, &c. Psal. 19. The second like the Son of man, the azure clouds mixt his Foot-Carpet; The third answerable to the holy Ghosts slow operation, Miracles and Prophesie for a [Page] time ceased, or like that saying of theirs, Have not so much as heard whether any holy Ghost, &c. committed to whose Ministery the Mystery of Times and Seasons, by all the world slighted or derided, &c. several days before whom this troublesom Tryal appearing, of no mean consequence, the Manor and Rectory of Pyreton, by what means and indirect courses taken, thereto the King intitled, by jugling Projectors plots, an old Outlawry revived, caused hereby to stretch it self out by their breathing into it, &c. to overthrow a lawful Purchase and Ioynture, after injoyed so many years, waiting their opportunity, the widows Estate to cut it off, by such trivial incumbrances sifted forth: the very Image of the Beast, Revel. 13. [Page] with the Great-Seal faced forth, only paying His Majesty about a Mark yearly such a costly purchase therein by his own officer born out, his Solicitor General.

Not unlike that dispute about Moses body, between the Archangel and the other (the Tempter) reported by Jude, this Law point debated so often in open Court, by the advantage taken of her imprisonment, that got into possession: So passing from this to the Iudges their charge for repairing this no slender breach, appointed to stand in the gap, to take off the Lords heavy hand from him, namely the King, by conjuring this Spirit down, raised up in his Name, a lye in Samuels likeness: And how came to pass, for the sin against the holy Ghost [Page] committed, shewing also forgiven neither in this world nor the other; witness the Archbishop, taking prophesie for no other then madness, gone to his proper place from Towerhil: and yet deliverd not groaning so long in travel the Kingdoms three, such distraction under witness in Ecclesiastical and Civil affairs both. As not unknown to himself these, of her coming unto him without manifestation not of a Commission in that case armor of proof, to give him a taste or warning of his judgement at hand, the hand writing (Dan. 5.) served on him in his gallery, was immediately by a reference answered under his hand bearing date, 1633. Octob. &c. Whitehal, committed for that cause the space of two years a close prisoner in the Gatehouse, [Page] even Octob. 23. when brought first thither, honored with the same very day of Irelands Massacre, Octob. 23. and of Keynton-fight, &c. stript of all ever since, a cup whereof himself since hath drunk the dregs. This is the business that sleeps not.

Howsoever he faln asleep, like them bidden to sleep on, &c. she though then, and since armd with no few sad tokens of that kinde come to pass on others no obscure ones; witness the Dukes fatal month of August foretold.

VVith this for another observation, her Ioynture the Manor of Englefield whilest she in the Gatehouse, bought by the Marques of Winchester, how his of Basing, such an Example not the like, unlucky Babel Towers, toward the increase of widows and fatherless, made to kiss the ground.

[Page] And impeaced of treason in this kinde; no light thing; about their neck a meeter ornament what weight not unknown; then S. George a horseback. Yet for making atonement in that case for such his Majesties folly, like as when Jobs captivity said to return, was appointed to pray for his three friends: So on the other side, the aforesaid Iudges three to make his peace, to turn his captivisy away, faln so low as hard to judge, whether exposed to the dunghil, or the dungeons Slavery the greater or better Estate, unhapily by his own seeking hapned.

Nor his Name wiped out of this Record, once a good Confession made, afterward makes as bad an end, opening the very YATES of Hell, like Balaam, loving the wages of [...]

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
