Join (at lead) in the Cry againf'c them, though they trembled at the Apprehenfion of every fact that 'fhouldn be difeovered. They. Could have been glad to have' żood by their old Friends but fince that mutt not be, the next Trial was to compound for their'own Security, by the Sacrifice of their Allies.
