Deuteronomy17:6
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses , shall he that is worthy of death, be put to death: but at the mouth of one witness, he shall not be put to death.
(i. e.) Upon the Testimony delivered upon oath before the Magistrates.
To wit, credible and competent witnesses. The Jews rejected the Testimonies of Mad-men, Children, Women, Servants, familiar Friends or Enemies, persons of dissolute lives and evil fame.
