d not know; and he swears now he did not: But at
last it came out that it was to entertain Hicks and another
person; but it should seem that other persons were not named;
and Barter tells you that Hicks and another person (who
afterwards proved to be Nelthorp) are promised to be
entertained, and ordered to come in the evening. But not to go
backward and forward, as he has done in his evidence, denying
what he afterwards acknowledged that he saw anybody besides a
little girl; that he pulled down the hay out of the rack for his
horse; that he eat anything but cake and cheese that he brought
with him from home; that he was ever made to drink, or to eat or
drink in the house, or ever meddled or made with any body in the
house. At last we are told that Carpenter met with him; and came
out with a lanthorn and candle, took care of his horse, carried
him into the room where Hicks and Nelthorp were, and the
prisoner at the bar, Mrs. Lisle; there they all supped together;
there they fell into discourse; there Nelthorp's name was named,
and they talked of being in the army, and of the fight; and so
it is all come out, and makes a full and positive evidence.

But then suppose there was no more than the other evidence, and
that the fellow remain in an hardhearted obstinacy, then you are
to consider the circumstances even from his first evidence, that
this was after the rebellion was all over; for it seems during
the rebellion she was in London, and it was notoriously known
that the King's forces were in pursuit of the rebels, and this
without any positive proof would be in itself a sufficient
testimony to convice any considerate person, that she was to
conceal those she ought not to conceal; because she directed the
particular time wherein they should come, and that was at night;
and no prudent person would receive strangers in the night, and
give such directions in such a season without some extraordinary
ground for it. When they came there, she provided a supper for
them; and you see what care is taken, that the woman only is
permitted to bring that supper to the door, and the husband must
set it on the table; nobody is permitted to attend there but he.
Works of darkness always desire to be in the dark; works of
rebellion and such like, are never done in the light.

But then comes th
