L. Pres. We have been calling upon God to direct us and you, and all good people, that justice may be done; and you would glorify God rather then man, if you would confess, knowing what was done in that great sin of Achan; there was great pains taken, and the whole Nation was fain to be examined, and their houses divided, and at last when it came to Achan, you know what Joshua said to him, confess and tell the truth, and glorify God; this is that, that if you respect God before man, you may now clear your self, and set forth his glory upon earth; and your next work is to plead guilty or not guilty. For we see that those ways you go, would take up time, and we have taken all into our thoughts before hand.

Mr. Love. I do not desire to protract time, but I would not lie under a prejudice.
L. Pres. When you go out of your way, we must help you; and know, if any be under a prejudice here, their prejudging is rather in mercy, then in prejudice to you.
