Thou unregenerate soul pleadest a Legacy in this Will: Go to, let us join issue, & come to trial. Where is thy Evidence? Here it is, my Faith. This Evidence, as all other, must have some witnesses: produce thine; and before the Bar of the great Chief Justice, the Kings Bench of Heaven, let them not lie.
