AN ACCOUNT OF THE PROCEED AGAINST THOMAS SAXON, Who was Tried at the Kings-Bench-Bar at Westminster, and found Guilty, On Monday the Eighth of February, 1685. of Wilful Perjury, for falsely Swearing High Treason against Henry Lord Delameer, Baron of Mere in Cheshire.  
This may be Printed, February the 9th, 1685. R. L. S.  
OF all the Horrid and Flagitious Crimes, perpetrated by depraved Man, there is none of a deeper Dye, or that calls for Divine Vengeance, more than the Sin of Perjury; which is so Odious to God Almighty; and by which his Sacred Name and Authority is so profaned and abused, by calling him (who is all Truth) to Witness to the Heinousest Lies and Falsehoods, witness the Case of Oats, who was Convicted of two Horrid Perjuries, whereupon the Foundations of the pretended Damnable, hellish, Popish Plot, were blown up into the Air; and all the hopes of his Cursed Accomplices defeated. The Remainder of them wandering up and down, like so many Cain's over the Face of the Earth, Crying, Our Sins are greater than we can bear, Miles Prance the Silver-Smith having lately fled also from the Summons of the Court of Kings-Bench to give Evidence at the Trial of one Mr. Vernatti, whom he had formerly Accused for the Death of Sr. Edmundbury Godfrey, of which the said Mr. Vernatti was the Ninth Instant Acquitted. But alas, who can gather up the Innocent Blood which these Miscreants have spilt like Water; And a farther Instance of the wickedness of these Instruments, you shall find in the following Relation.  
The Lord Delamere having been Tried for High Treason by his Honourable Peers appoined by his Majesty; Thomas Saxon appeared as Evidence against him, Deposing that he, the said Lord Delameer, with others Conspired to Raise a Rebellion in this Kingdom, and his Sacred Majesty to Destroy, etc. For the proof of which, the aforesaid Thomas Saxon Swore to Time and Place; which appeared to be False by several Material Circumstances and Credible Witnesses, produced by the Lord Delameer. Upon which he was Honourably Acquitted by his Peers; and it plainly appearing that Thomas Saxon was Perjured, his Majesty out of his Princely Justice, and to Deter others from the like Crimes, in falsely Accusing any of his Subjects, was Graciously pleased to Order an Enformation of Perjury, to be drawn up against him, which was accordingly done; and being Arraigned at the Kings-Bench-Bar Westminster, he was on Monday the 8th of this Instant February, Tried by a Jury of Loyal and Substantial Men; where the Fact being plainly proved against him, and he making very little Defence for himself, was by the Jury found Guilty of the said Perjury as laid in the Enformation. After which he was Remanded to the County Gool of Newgate, in Order to his Sentence.
