Part 2

They have made a deal of Pother about Sweating, but is it not plain, that alone would not have served the Patient; when its well known that in Spite of all the Doctors Endeavours to hinder it, it increased immoderately, and yet produced no such wonderful Effects as they would attribute to it: Grant that Bleeding and Purging weakens; so does Sweating; our Client My Lord, apprehends, that if he had bled more plentifully, he would at least have got the better of the Fever some Days sooner than he did; the Patient might have died its true, but that would not have been his Fault if he had used the Means to disburthen him of his Blood, where the Malady lay; therefore we hope the Court will acquit the Prisoner.

Its not the Custom in that Country for the Judge to give a Charge as there is no Jury, but the Prisoner was ordered to withdraw, and in a little Time he was called back and acquainted with his Sentence, which we must beg of the Publick to excuse us from publishing.
