My Lords,Gentlemen of the jury,when we speak of liberty of thought and speech and action that every Englishman was born with.It is not a thing granted him by the King and his counsellors,and not to be taken from him by those counsellors,It must not be taken from him.Beware the role that this trial will play in the history of our nation.Be aware that if prosecution have their way,each one of you will be seen as criminal first,citizen second.Be aware that powers ceded to Government in times of fear are rarely removed from statute.The power of the Government to arrest and imprison a man without charge,This removal of his right to know what he is accussed of,if it achieves its aim today,be sure it will stay.Be ware that if this imperfect trial finds this man guilty,800more will be given the same unjust treatment. 陪审团的各位，我们所说的自由涵盖着思想、言论和行动，每个英国人都与生俱来，并非由君主及其臣子赋予，自然也无权被他们剥夺，无权被剥夺。这场审判将在历史上写下浓墨重彩的一笔，如果让公诉方得逞，人人都会是待罪之身，其次才是公民。高压下被法律让渡的权利很难再向政府讨回。政府有权烂抓无辜、无指控收监，连因何被控的知情权都被剥夺。今日若开先例，必将后患无穷。如此漏洞百出的审判，若将此人定罪，另外800人也将遭遇不公。 Eight hundred warrants for the arrest of innocent men assumed to be guilty. 逮捕800名无辜之人，扣上莫须有的罪名 Be ware that if you send this man to the gallows today,you should be prepared to follow him tomorrow.Itrust in God,you will give your verdict of acquittal for the prisoner 请记住，今天你们把他送上绞架，也许明天，你们就会步他后尘，我相信上帝，你们会做出无罪的判决。
