Cap. Pot. I was examined several times, and had a wide latitude there; and then I was to speak to every truth, as I thought and heard; but now I have taken an oath to speak the truth between the State and this Gentleman: And I beseech you, that I may be held close to those things, and I will give you the fullest and fairest account I can. What I said before, was in order to the discovery of the thing; much of which, I had by hear-say from others, and in that I may mistake, in persons, places, and times: What I have done my self, and what I know this Gentleman hath done, that may be put to me fully.
Mr. Love. The witness must so speak, That we have seen and heard, that do we testify.
