IF this Innocent Young-man (my Lords and Judges) would use the Motive of his sad distress, he might allege, that, together with his Eyes, he had lost all his wild unru∣ly thoughts, but when he has a mind to declare his Innocency rather by his Manners than his Miseries, he cannot bear so great a reproach to be cast either on his duty or his Conscience, as not to be thought to have committed this Mur∣ther only upon the account of his Blindness. The Blind Son and the Step-Mother ac∣cuse one another of the Murther.įor the Blind Son against the Step-Mother. The Father was Mur∣thered in the night, as he was lying in Bed by his Wife in his own Chamber, and the next morning his Son's Sword was found in the Wound, and all the Wall, from his Son's Chamber to His, was bloodied with the Print of an Hand. There was a Gentleman who had a Blind Son, whom he had made his Heir, but mar∣rying a Second Wife, He made an Apart∣ment for the dark Youth, in a remote part of his House.
