In Page 67, 68, you most strenuously assert, that this was without your Ordering or Knowledge; We will therefore let you know what Reason we have to think that what we have supposed of you in this Matter is the Truth▪ and first, we have the following Testimony of a Person that is of neither of the Parties concerned, for he don't belong to the Precinct.

These may certify, that I the Subscriber, on the ninth Day of October 1735, being at the House of Mr. John Worthengton in Springfield, in Company with Ensign Ebenezer Warriner and others, I well remember there came in a Person of that Precinct, and desire• the People to go •p to Madam Brewer's: I asked the Person, who desired them to go up there? The Person replied, the Gentlemen of the Council. I further asked him whether the People universally, or only of that Precinct were desired? The Person replied, any ⟨p. 56⟩Body and every Body that would: But I remember I thought the Person was mistaken▪ and told my Company I would not go; but I told Ensign Warriner he might, for he belonged to the Precinct, to which I thought the Invitation was confined: He replied he had no Business there, and would not go up: But I observed many People, upon the Invitation did leave the House in order to go there: Soon after which I went down Street, when I came in sight of Madam Brewer's House, I saw a Concourse of People before the Door. This is the Truth, according to the best of my Remembrance. Jonathan Stebbins. I the Subscriber being at the House of Mr. John Worthenton, in Company with the above Subscriber, Jonathan Stebbins, well remember the Things as above related. Ebenezer Warriner.
