Man, till they ruin'd his Family and reduc'd him to Beggary; and tho'
he came out of the Prison they cast him into by the meer force of
Innocence, yet they never left persuing him with all sorts of
violence.------ At last they made use of their Brother of the Girdle
who was in Commission as above, and this Man being High Priest and
Lazonian too, by the first was a Party, and by the last had a Power
to act the Tragedy they had plotted against the poor Man.

In short, they seiz'd him without any Crime alledg'd, took violently
from him his Licence, as a Crolian Priest, by which the Law justify'd
what he had done, pretending it was forg'd, and after very ill
Treating him, condemn'd him to the Wars, delivers him up for a
Souldier, and accordingly carry'd him away.

But it happen'd, to their great Mortification, that this Man found
more Mercy from the Men of the Sword, than from those of the Word,
and so found means to get out of their Hands, and afterwards to
undeceive all the Moon, both as to his own Character, and as to what
he had Suffer'd.

For some of the Crolians, who began to be made sensible of the Injury
done the poor Man, advis'd him to have recourse to the Law, and to
bring his Adversaries before the Criminal Bar.

But as soon as this was done, good God! what a Scene of Villainy was
here opened: The poor Man brought up such a Cloud of Witnesses to
confront every Article of their Charge, and to vindicate his own
Character, that when the very Judges heard it, tho' they were all
Solunarians themselves, they held up their Hands, and declar'd in
open Court it was the deepest Track of Villany that ever came before
