"These Examinates agree upon the sight of M^r Tho: Osborn that Hee is the Person who came in company with Another Gentleman low of Stature and appearing to be a Person of Quality to the Printing-house and that the lesser of the Two went up stairs leaving M^r Osborn below. "Milburn's wife sayes, that M^r Osborn stayd in the Room where shee was, while the other was above. That at last offering to goe up, The little Gentleman sayd to him Cozen, stay below, I'l come to you. That M^r Osborn spake nothing to her of anything to print; And that the Other coming down, They went away together. Shee says further, that they came a Second Time, upon a Saturday morning; and a third time in the Afternoon; at which time they stayd 3 or 4 houres and as she believes for a Proof. And being demanded who managed the business, shee sayes, that the little Gentleman seem'd to her to doe all, and that the Other appear'd to her, onely to come for company. "Thomas Milburn sayes, That the little Gentleman appear'd first to him with One Scroop (or Pugh) in his company at the Crown Tavern in Smythfield, and the 2^{nd} time with the same Person at the Star in Holborn. He sayes further, That afterward the little Gentleman came to his house with M^r Osborn. And that the little Gentleman gave him the coppy of the English Catholics Apology; Order'd the printing of it and pay'd for the Impression, and that M^r Osborn sayd nothing to him concerning the business, onely, at last, this Examinate saw them reading over the Proof together. But who was the Author of it, Hee knowes not." 233.
