Now I myself know that this is false, and I shall prove it so when I
proceed against those who gave this testimony; but Stephanus is not at liberty
to say it is false. If, then, you should believe in the genuineness of the
release, this, more than anything else, would prove that the fellow has given
false testimony, and has deposed to a will that is forged. For who would be so
senseless as to give a release in the presence of witnesses, that his discharge
might be binding, and yet to suffer the articles of agreement, the will, and the
other documents regarding which he gave the release, to remain under seal as
evidence against himself?
