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.
Mr. Love. I hope you will not be more severe to a Minister, then you were to Lieut. Col. John Lilburn. When you were at the court at Guild-hall, at the trial of Lilburne, you gave him the liberty of two hours to plead before he pleaded guilty or not guilty.

L. Pres. To a Minister, you say well; but I tell you, we do more to a christian then to a minister; and we are all christians, and your ministry is but an Office; and therefore what Mr. Lilburne had, it was the favour of the court then; but time is spent, and pray do not you follow that now.
M. Love. Whereas your Lordship is pleased to urge the case of Achan to me, if my case were the same as Achans was, I should do as Achan did, confess and give glory to God; but Achans was a peculiar and extraordinary case, and therefore I pray it may not be laid to me. God was the informer and discoverer, and God did by lot discover Achan to be the man.
