In criminal cases, where things are pretended to be done against penal laws, such as this, the proofs ought to be clearer than the noon day light. Here is nothing proved, but one single witness named, and he a professed enemy, who never testified it upon oath, or before a judge, or so much as a public notary, or to the face of a protestant, but only whispered it in corners (as it is said by adversaries) among some of his own party.

Word: presheaf Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From pre- + sheaf. 1. An abstract mathematical construct which associates data to the open sets of a topological space, generalizing the situation of functions, fiber bundles, manifold structure, etc. on a topological space (but not necessarily in such a way as to make the local and global data compatible, as in a sheaf). Formally, A contravariant functor ℱ whose domain is a category whose objects are open sets of a topological space (called the base space or underlying space) and whose morphisms are inclusion mappings. The image of each open set under ℱ is an object whose elements are called sections, and are which are said to be over the given open set; the image of each inclusion map A→B under ℱ is a morphism ℱ(B)→ℱ(A), called the restriction from B to A and denoted operatorname res_(B,A) or |_(B,A). Example: Let X be a topological space. (Following tradition, I will switch from my previous convention of using X to denote an object of a topos.) Write Open(X) for its poset of open subsets. A presheaf on X is a functor F#58;#92;mathbf#123;Open#125;(X)#92;mbox#123;op#125;#92;rightarrow#92;mathbf#123;Set#125;. It assigns to each open subset U a set F(U), whose elements are called sections over U (for reasons to be explained). It also assigns to each open V#92;subseteqU a function F(U)#92;rightarrowF(V), called restriction from U to V and denoted by s#92;rightarrows#124;#95;V. I will write Psh(X) for the category of presheaves on X. Examples 3.1 i. Let F(U) = {continuous functions U#92;rightarrow#92;mathbb#123;R#125;}; restriction is restriction.
