here indicted by the name of Haughty, (an intruder upon the town of
Mansoul,) for that thou didst most traitorously and devilishly
teach the town of Mansoul to carry it loftily and stoutly against
the summons that was given them by the captains of the King
Shaddai. Thou didst also teach the town of Mansoul to speak
contemptuously and vilifyingly of their great King Shaddai; and
didst moreover encourage, both by words and examples, Mansoul, to
take up arms both against the King and his son Emmanuel. How
sayest thou, art thou guilty of this indictment, or not?

Haughty. Gentlemen, I have always been a man of courage and
valour, and have not used, when under the greatest clouds, to sneak
or hang down the head like a bulrush; nor did it at all at any time
please me to see men veil their bonnets to those that have opposed
them; yea, though their adversaries seemed to have ten times the
advantage of them. I did not use to consider who was my foe, nor
what the cause was in which I was engaged. It was enough to me if
I carried it bravely, fought like a man, and came off a victor.

Court. Mr. Haughty, you are not here indicted for that you have
been a valiant man, nor for your courage and stoutness in times of
distress, but for that you have made use of this your pretended
valour to draw the town of Mansoul into acts of rebellion both
against the great King, and Emmanuel his Son. This is the crime
and the thing wherewith thou art charged in and by the indictment.

But he made no answer to that.

Now when the Court had thus far proceeded against the prisoners at
the bar, then they put them over to the verdict of their jury, to
