continetur prout sequitur, _They observe, that Bedloe's, (before
the Committee of Lords), and your evidence in relation to this
gentleman's death, are as different as the East is from the West;
for you dog him out of St. Clement's; the other decoys him from
Charing Cross; you swear he was strangled with a handkerchief near
the stables going to the water-side; Bedloe, that he was smothered
with a pillow in a room in the great Court in Somerset-house.
You say, he took horse at Soho; Bedlow says, he took Coach at
Clarendon-house, with many more such like contradictions; and
considering the old proverb, fore-warn'd, fore arm'd; a further
and fuller account of the whole matter expect._ Quodque prædicti

and accordingly declared he was felo de se; and that much art and
skill was used to procure their verdict to the contrary._ Ac in

would declare, what he received for that job, and of whom, and what
evidence he had to induce the Jury to find (as the inquisition
imports) that he was strangled with a linen cloth, a matter of fact
never so much as spoken of, until you came in with your evidence,
which was not in some weeks after. And I do again aver, that the
body was required by the jurors to be opened, and was refused; and
if the body was in their and the Coroner's power (as the Ghost
insinuates) such power was concealed from and denied the Jury._
