The judges held a consultation over the oath, and they said, 'If we let this man pass free he has sworn falsely, and by the law he ought to die; but if we hang him, as he swore he was going to die on that gallows, and therefore swore the truth, by the same law he ought to go free.'
Repararon los jueces en el juramento y dijeron: ''Si a este hombre le dejamos pasar libremente, mintió en su juramento, y, conforme a la ley, debe morir; y si le ahorcamos, él juró que iba a morir en aquella horca, y, habiendo jurado verdad, por la misma ley debe ser libre''.
