<P_I,207.C2>

Now I come to your Charge , you of the Jury : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.2)

The Greatness of Treason is to be considered in these two things ,
Determinatione finis , and Electione mediorum .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.3)

This Treason excelleth in both , for that it was to destroy the King
and his Progeny . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.4)

These Treasons are said to be Crimen laesae Majestatis ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.5)

this goeth further , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.6)

and may be term'd , Crimen extirpandae Regiae Majestatis , & totius
Progeniei suae . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.7)

I shall not need , my Lords , to speak any thing concerning the King ,
nor of the Bounty and Sweetness of his Nature , whose Thoughts are
innocent , whose Words are full of Wisdom and Learning , and whose
Works are full of Honour ; although it be a true Saying , Nunquam nimis
quod nunquam satis . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.8)

But to whom do you bear Malice ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.9)

to the Children ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.10)

<font> Raleigh . </font> To whom speak you this ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.11)

You tell me News I never heard of . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.12)

<font> Attorney . </font> Oh Sir , do I ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.13)

I will prove you the notoriousest Traitor that ever came to the Bar .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.14)

After you have taken away the King , you would alter Religion : as you
, Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> , have followed them of the Bye in
Imitation ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.15)

for I will charge you with the Words . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.16)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Your Words $can $not {TEXT:cannot} condemn me
; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.17)

my Innocency is my Defence . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.18)

Prove one of these things wherewith you have charg'd me ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.19)

and I will confess the whole Indictment , and that I am the horriblest
Traitor that ever lived , and worthy to be crucified with a thousand
thousand Torments . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,207.C2.20)

<P_I,208.C1>

<font> Attorney . </font> Nay , I will prove all :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.22)

Thou art a Monster ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.23)

thou hast an <font> English </font> Face , but a <font> Spanish </font>
Heart . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.24)

Now you must have Money : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.25)

<font> Aremberg </font> was no sooner in <font> England </font> <paren>
I charge thee <font> Raleigh </font> </paren> but thou incitedst <font>
Cobham </font> to go unto him , and to deal with him for Money , to
bestow on discontented Persons , to raise Rebellion on the Kingdom .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.26)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Let me answer for my self .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.27)

<font> Attorney . </font> Thou shalt not . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.28)

<font> Raleigh . </font> It concerneth my Life .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.29)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> , Mr.
Attorney is but yet in the General ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.30)

but when the King's Counsel have given the Evidence wholly , you shall
answer every Particular . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.31)

<font> Attorney . </font> Oh ! do I touch you ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.32)

<font> Lord Cecil . </font> Mr. Attorney , when you have done with this
General Charge , do you not mean to let him answer every Particular ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.33)

<font> Attorney . </font> Yes , when we deliver the Proofs to be read .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.34)

<font> Raleigh </font> procured <font> Cobham </font> to go to <font>
Aremberg </font> ; which he did by his Instigation :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.35)

<font> Raleigh </font> supped with <font> Cobham </font> before he went
to <font> Aremberg </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.36)

after Supper , <font> Raleigh </font> conducted him to <font>
Durham-House </font> ; from whence <font> Cobham </font> went with
<font> Lawrency </font> , a Servant of <font> Aremberg's </font> , unto
him , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.37)

and went in by a Back-way . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.38)

<font> Cobham </font> could never be quiet until he had entertained
this Motion , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.39)

for he had four Letters from <font> Raleigh </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.40)

<font> Aremberg </font> answer'd , The Money should be performed ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.41)

but knew not to whom it should be distributed .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.42)

Then <font> Cobham </font> and <font> Lawrency </font> came back to
<font> Durham-House </font> , where they found <font> Raleigh </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.43)

<font> Cobham </font> and <font> Raleigh </font> went up ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.44)

and left <font> Lawrency </font> below , where they had secret
Conference in a Gallery ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.45)

and after , <font> Cobham </font> and <font> Lawrency </font> departed
from <font> Raleigh </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.46)

Your Jargon was Peace : What is that ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.47)

<font> Spanish </font> Invasion , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.48)

<font> Scotish </font> Subversion . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.49)

And again , you are not a fit Man to take so much Money for procuring
of a lawful Peace , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.50)

for Peace procured by Money is dishonourable .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.51)

Then <font> Cobham </font> must go to <font> Spain </font> , and return
by <font> Jersey </font> , where you were Captain :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.52)

And then , because <font> Cobham </font> had not so much Policy , or at
least Wickedness , as you , he must have your Advice for the
distribution of the Money . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.53)

Would you have deposed so good a King , lineally descended of <font>
Elizabeth </font> , eldest Daughter of <font> Edward </font> IV ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.54)

Why then must you set up another ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.55)

I think you meant to make <font> Arabella </font> a Titular Queen , of
whose Title I will speak nothing ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.56)

but sure you meant to make her a Stale . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.57)

Ah ! good Lady , you could mean her no Good .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.58)

<font> Raleigh . </font> You tell me News , Mr. <font> Attorney </font>
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.59)

<font> Attorney . </font> Oh Sir ! I am the more large , because I know
with whom I deal : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.60)

For we have to deal to-day with a Man of Wit .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.61)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Did I ever speak with this Lady ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.62)

<font> Attorney . </font> I will track you out before I have done .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.63)

<font> Englishmen </font> will not be led by persuasion of Words ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.64)

but they must have Books to persuade . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.65)

<font> Raleigh . </font> The Book was written by a Man of your
Profession , Mr. <font> Attorney </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.66)

<font> Attorney . </font> I would not have you impatient .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.67)

<font> Raleigh . </font> $Me thinks {TEXT:Methinks} you fall out with
your self ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.68)

I say nothing . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.69)

<font> Attorney . </font> By this Book you would persuade Men , that he
is not the lawful King . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.70)

Now let us consider some Circumstances : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.71)

My Lords , you know my Lord <font> Cobham </font> <paren> for whom we
all lament and rejoice ; lament in that his House , which hath stood so
long unspotted , is now ruinated ; rejoice , in that his Treasons are
reveal'd : </paren> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C1.72)

he is neither <P_I,208.C2> Politician nor Sword-man ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.73)

<font> Raleigh </font> was both , united in the Cause with him , and
therefore Cause of his Destruction . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.74)

Another Circumstance is , the secret Contriving of it .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.75)

<font> Humphry Stafford </font> claimed Sanctuary for Treason .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.76)

<font> Raleigh </font> , in his <font> Macchivelian </font> Policy ,
hath made a Sanctuary for Treason . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.77)

He must talk with none but <font> Cobham </font> ; because , saith he ,
one Witness can never condemn me . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.78)

For <font> Brook </font> said unto Sir <font> Griffith Markham , Take
heed how you do make my Lord </font> Cobham <font> acquainted </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.79)

<font> for whatsoever he knoweth </font> , Raleigh <font> the Witch
will get it out of him </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.80)

As soon as <font> Raleigh </font> was examined on one point of Treason
concerning my Lord <font> Cobham </font> , he wrote to him thus ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.81)

<font> I have been examined of you , and confessed nothing </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.82)

Further , you sent to him by your trusty <font> Francis Kemish </font>
, that one Witness could not condemn ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.83)

and therefore bade his Lordship be of good Courage .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.84)

Came this out of <font> Cobham's </font> Quiver ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.85)

No : but out of <font> Raleigh's Macchivelian </font> and devilish
Policy . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.86)

Yea , but <font> Cobham </font> did retract it ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.87)

why then did ye urge it ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.88)

Now then see the most horrible Practices that ever came out of the
bottomless Pit of the lowest Hell . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.89)

After that <font> Raleigh </font> had Intelligence that <font> Cobham
</font> had accused him , he endeavour'd to have Intelligence from
<font> Cobham </font> , which he had gotten by young Sir <font> John
Payton </font> : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.90)

But I think it was the Error of his Youth . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.91)

<font> Raleigh . </font> The Lords told it me ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.92)

or else I had not been sent to the <font> Tower </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.93)

<font> Attorney . </font> Thus <font> Cobham </font> , by the
Instigation of <font> Raleigh </font> , enter'd into these Actions : So
that the question will be , Whether you are not the principal Traitor ,
and he would nevertheless have enter'd into it ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.94)

Why did <font> Cobham </font> retract all that same ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.95)

First , Because <font> Raleigh </font> was so odious , he thought he
should fare the worse for his sake . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.96)

Secondly , He thought thus with himself , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.97)

If he be free , I shall clear my self the better .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.98)

After this , <font> Cobham </font> asked for a Preacher to confer with
, pretending to have Dr. <font> Andrews </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.99)

but indeed he meant not-1 to have him , but Mr. <font> Galloway </font>
; a worthy and reverend Preacher , who can do more with the King
<paren> as he said </paren> than any other ; that he , seeing his
constant Denial , might inform the King thereof .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.100)

Here he plays with the Preacher . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.101)

If <font> Raleigh </font> could persuade the Lords , that <font> Cobham
</font> had no intent to travel , then he thought all should be well .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.102)

Here is Forgery ! (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.103)

In the <font> Tower </font> <font> Cobham </font> must write to Sir
<font> Thomas Vane </font> , a worthy Man , that he meant not to go
into <font> Spain : </font> which Letter <font> Raleigh </font> devised
in <font> Cobham's </font> Name . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.104)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I will wash my hands of the Indictment , and
die a true Man to the King . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.105)

<font> Attorney . </font> You are the absolutest Traitor that ever was
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.106)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Your Phrases will not prove it , Mr. <font>
Attorney </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.107)

<font> Attorney . </font> <font> Cobham </font> writeth a Letter to my
Lord <font> Cecil </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.108)

and doth will <font> Mellis's </font> Man to lay it in a <font> Spanish
</font> Bible , and to make as tho he found it by chance .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.109)

This was after he had Intelligence with this Viper , that he was false
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.110)

<font> Lord Cecil . </font> You mean a Letter intended to me ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.111)

I never had it . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.112)

<font> Attorney . </font> No , my Lord , you had it not .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.113)

You , my Masters of the Jury , respect not the Wickedness and Hatred of
the Man , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.114)

respect his Cause : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.115)

if he be guilty , I know you will have care of it , for the
Preservation of the King , the Continuance of the Gospel authorized ,
and the Good of us all . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,208.C2.116)

<P_I,209.C1>

<font> Raleigh . </font> I do not hear yet , that you have spoken one
word against me ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.118)

here is no Treason of mine done : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.119)

If my Lord <font> Cabham </font> be a Traitor , what is that to me ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.120)

<font> Attorney . </font> All that he did was by thy Instigation , thou
Viper ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.121)

for I <font> thou </font> thee , thou Traitor .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.122)

<font> Raleigh . </font> It becometh not a Man of Quality and Virtue ,
to call me so : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.123)

But I take comfort in it , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.124)

it is all you can do . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.125)

<font> Attorney . </font> Have I anger'd you ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.126)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I am in no case to be angry .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.127)

<font> C. J. Popham . </font> Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> , Mr.
Attorney speaketh out of the Zeal of his Duty , for the Service of the
King , and you for your Life ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.128)

be valiant on both sides . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.129)

Now they proceed to the Reading the Proofs .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.130)

<heading>

THE LORD COBHAM'S EXAMINATION READ . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.132)

</heading>

He confesseth , he had a Pass-port to go into <font> Spain </font> ,
intending to go to the Archduke , to confer with him about these
Practices ; and because he knew the Archduke had not Money to pay his
own Army , from thence he meant to go to <font> Spain </font> , to deal
with the King for the Crowns , and to return by <font> Jersey </font> ;
and that nothing should be done , until he had spoken with Sir <font>
Walter Raleigh </font> for distribution of the Money to them which were
discontented in <font> England </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.134)

At the first beginning , he breathed out Oaths and Exclamations against
<font> Raleigh </font> , calling him Villain and Traitor ; saying , he
had never entred into these Courses , but by his Instigation , and that
he would never let him alone . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.135)

Here Mr. Attorney willed the Clerk of the Crown-Office to read over
these last Words again <paren> <font> He would never let him alone .
</font> </paren> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.136)

<heading>

THE LORD COBHAM'S EXAMINATION . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.138)

</heading>

Besides he spake of Plots and Invasions ; of the Particulars whereof he
could give no Account , tho <font> Raleigh </font> and he had conferred
of them . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.140)

Further he said , He was afraid of <font> Raleigh </font> , that when
he should return by <font> Jersey </font> , that he would have
deliver'd him and the Money to the King . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.141)

Being examined of Sir <font> Arthur Gorge </font> , he freed him ,
saying , They never durst trust him ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.142)

but Sir <font> Arthur Savage </font> they intended to use , because
they thought him a fit Man . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.143)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Let me see the Accusation :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.144)

This is absolutely all the Evidence can be brought against me ; poor
Shifts ! (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.145)

You Gentlemen of the Jury , I pray you understand this .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.146)

This is that which must either condemn , or give me Life ; which must
free me , or send my Wife and Children to beg their Bread about the
Streets : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.147)

This is that must prove me a notorious Traitor , or a true Subject to
the King . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.148)

Let me see my Accusation , that I may make my Answer .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.149)

<font> Clerk of the Council . </font> I did read it , and shew you all
the Examinations . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.150)

<font> Raleigh . </font> At my first Examination at <font> Windsor
</font> , my Lords asked me , what I knew of <font> Cobham's </font>
Practice with <font> Aremberg </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.151)

I answer'd negatively : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.152)

And as concerning <font> Arabella </font> , I protest before God , I
never heard one word of it . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.153)

If that be proved , let me be quilty of ten thousand Treasons .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.154)

It is a strange thing you will impute that to me , when I never heard
so much as the Name of <font> Arabella Stuart </font> , but only the
Name of <font> Arabella </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C1.155)

<P_I,209.C2>

After being examin'd , I told my Lords , that I thought my Lord <font>
Cobham </font> had Conference with <font> Aremberg </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.157)

I suspected his visiting of him : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.158)

for after he departed from me at <font> Durham-House </font> , I saw
him pass by his own Stairs , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.159)

and passed over to <font> St. Mary Saviours </font> , where I knew
<font> Lawrency </font> , a Merchant , and a Follower of <font>
Aremberg </font> , lay , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.160)

and therefore likely to go unto him . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.161)

My Lord <font> Cecil </font> asked my Opinion concerning <font>
Lawrency </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.162)

I said , that if you do not apprehend <font> Lawrency </font> , it is
dangerous , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.163)

he will fly : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.164)

if you do apprehend him , you shall give my Lord <font> Cobham </font>
notice thereof . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.165)

I was asked who was the greatest Man with my Lord <font> Cobham </font>
; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.166)

I answer'd , I knew no Man so great with him , as young <font> Wyat
</font> of <font> Kent </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.167)

As soon as <font> Cobham </font> saw my Letter to have discover'd his
Dealing with <font> Aremberg </font> , in his Fury he accus'd me ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.168)

but before he came to the Stair-foot he repented ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.169)

and said he had done me wrong . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.170)

When he came to the end of his Accusation , he added , that if he had
brought this Money to <font> Jersey </font> , he fear'd that I would
have deliver'd him and the Money to the King .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.171)

Mr. Attorney , you said this never came out of <font> Cobham's </font>
Quiver ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.172)

he is a simple Man . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.173)

Is he so simple ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.174)

no ; he hath a Disposition of his own , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.175)

he will not easily be guided by others ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.176)

but when he has once taken head in a Matter , he is not easily drawn
from it : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.177)

he is no Babe . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.178)

But it is strange for me to devise with <font> Cobham </font> , that he
should go to <font> Spain </font> , to persuade the King to disburse so
much Money , he being a Man of no Love in <font> England </font> , and
I having resigned my room of chiefest Command , the Wardenship of the
<font> Stannaries </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.179)

Is it not strange for me to make my self <font> Robin Hood </font> , or
a <font> Kett </font> , or a <font> Cade ? </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.180)

I knowing <font> England </font> to be in better Estate to defend it
self than ever it was . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.181)

I knew <font> Scotland </font> united ; <font> Ireland </font> quieted
, wherein of late our Forces were dispersed ; <font> Denmark </font>
assured , which before was suspected . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.182)

I knew , that having lost a Lady whom Time had surpriz'd , we had now
an active King , a lawful Successor , who would himself be present in
all his Affairs . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.183)

The State of <font> Spain </font> was not unknown to me :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.184)

I had written a Discourse , which I had intended to present unto the
King , against Peace with <font> Spain </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.185)

I knew the <font> Spaniards </font> had six Repulses ; three in <font>
Ireland </font> , and three at Sea , and once in 1588 , at <font> Cales
</font> , by my Lord Admiral . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.186)

I knew he was discourag'd and dishonour'd . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.187)

I knew the King of <font> Spain </font> to be the proudest Prince in
Christendom ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.188)

but now he cometh creeping to the King my Master for Peace .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.189)

I knew , whereas before he had in his Port six or seven score Sail of
Ships , he hath now but six or seven . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.190)

I knew of twenty five Millions he had from his <font> Indies </font> ,
he hath scarce one left . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.191)

I knew him to be so poor , that the Jesuits in <font> Spain </font> ,
who were wont to have such large Allowance , were fain to beg at the
Church-Door . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.192)

Was it ever read or heard , that any Prince should disburse so much
Money without a sufficient Pawn ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.193)

I knew her own Subjects , the Citizens of <font> London </font> , would
not lend her Majesty Money , without Lands in Mortgage .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.194)

I knew the Queen did not lend the States Money , without <font>
Flushing </font> , <font> Brill </font> , and other Towns for a Pawn .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.195)

And can it be thought , that he would let <font> Cobham </font> have so
great a Sum ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.196)

I never came to the Lord <font> Cobham's </font> , but about Matters of
his Profit ; as , the ordering of his House , paying of his Servants
Board-Wages , <font> &c . </font> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,209.C2.197)

I had of his , when I was examin'd , four thousand Pounds worth of
Jewels for a Purchase ; a Pearl of <P_I,210.C1> three thousand Pound ;
and a Ring worth five hundred Pound . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.198)

If he had had a fancy to run away , he would not have left so much to
have purchas'd a Lease in Fee-Farm . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.199)

I saw him buy three hundred Pounds worth of Books to send to his
Library at <font> Canterbury </font> , and a Cabinet of thirty Pound ,
to give to Mr. Attorney , for drawing the Conveyances :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.200)

and God in Heaven knoweth , not I , whether he intended to travel or no
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.201)

But for that Practice with <font> Arabella </font> , or Letters to
<font> Aremberg </font> framed , or any Discourse with him , or in what
Language he spake unto him ; if I knew any of these things , I would
absolutely confess the Indictment , and acknowledge my self worthy ten
thousand Deaths . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.202)

COBHAM'S SECOND EXAMINATION READ . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.204)

</heading>

The Lord <font> Cobham </font> being requir'd to subscribe to an
Examination , there was shewed a Note under Sir <font> Walter Raleigh's
</font> hand ; the which when he had perus'd , he paus'd , and after
brake forth into these Speeches : Oh Villain ! Oh Traitor !
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.206)

I will now tell you all the Truth ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.207)

and then said , His Purpose was to go into <font> Flanders </font> ,
and into <font> Spain </font> , for the obtaining the aforesaid Money ;
and that <font> Raleigh </font> had appointed to meet him in <font>
Jersey </font> as he return'd home , to be advised of him about the
Distribution of the Money . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.208)

<font> L. C. J. Popham . </font> When <font> Cobham </font> answer'd to
the Interrogatories , he made scruple to subscribe ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.209)

and being urg'd to it , he said , if he might hear me affirm , that a
Person of his Degree ought to set his hand , he would :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.210)

I lying then at <font> Richmond </font> for fear of the Plague , was
sent for , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.211)

and I told he ought to subscribe ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.212)

otherwise it were a Contempt of a high nature :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.213)

then he subscribed . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.214)

The Lords question'd with him further , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.215)

and he shew'd them a Letter , as I thought written to me ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.216)

but it was indeed written to my Lord <font> Cecil : </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.217)

he desired to see the Letter again , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.218)

and then said , Oh Wretch ! Oh Traitor ! whereby I perceiv'd you had
not perform'd that Trust he had reposed in you .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.219)

<font> Raleigh . </font> He is as passionate a Man as lives ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.220)

for he hath not spared the best Friends he hath in <font> England
</font> in his Passion . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.221)

My Lords , I take it , he that has been examined , has ever been asked
at the time of his Examination , if it be according to his meaning ,
and then to subscribe . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.222)

$Me $thinks {TEXT:Methinks} , my Lords , when he accuses a Man , he
should give some Account and Reason of it : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.223)

It is not sufficient to say , we talked of it .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.224)

If I had been the Plotter , would not I have given <font> Cobham
</font> some Arguments , whereby to persuade the King of <font> Spain
</font> , and answer his Objections ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.225)

I knew <font> Westmoreland </font> and <font> Bothwell </font> , Men of
other Understandings than <font> Cobham </font> , were ready to beg
their Bread . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.226)

<font> Sir </font> Tho. Fowler , <font> one of the Jury . </font> Did
Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> write a Letter to my Lord before he
was examined concerning him , or not ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.227)

<font> Attorney . </font> Yes . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.228)

<font> Lord Cecil . </font> I am in great dispute with my self to speak
in the Case of this Gentleman : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.229)

A former Dearness between me and him , ty'd so firm a Knot of my
Conceit of his Virtues , now broken by a Discovery of his Imperfections
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.230)

I protest , did I serve a King that I knew would be displeased with me
for speaking , in this Case I would speak , whatever came of it ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.231)

but seeing he is compacted of Piety and Justice , and one that will not
mislike of any Man for speaking a Truth , I will answer your Question .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C1.232)

Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> was staid by me at <font> Windsor
</font> , upon the first News of <font> Copley </font> , that the
King's Person <P_I,210.C2> should be surprized by my Lord <font> Grey
</font> , and Mr. <font> George Brook </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.233)

when I found <font> Brook </font> was in , I suspected <font> Cobham
</font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.234)

then I doubted <font> Raleigh </font> to be a Partaker .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.235)

I speak not this , that it should be thought I had greater Judgment
than the rest of my Lords , in making this haste to have them examined
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.236)

<font> Raleigh </font> following to <font> Windsor </font> , I met with
him upon the Terras , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.237)

and willed him , as from the King , to stay ; saying , the Lords had
something to say to him : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.238)

then he was examined , but not concerning my Lord <font> Cobham </font>
, but of the surprizing Treason . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.239)

My Lord <font> Grey </font> was apprehended , and likewise <font> Brook
</font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.240)

by <font> Brook </font> we found , that he had given notice to <font>
Cobham </font> of the surprizing Treason , as he deliver'd it to us ;
but with as much sparingness of a Brother , as he might .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.241)

We sent for my Lord <font> Cobham </font> to <font> Richmond </font> ,
where he stood upon his Justification , and his Quality ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.242)

sometimes being froward , he said he was not bound to subscribe ,
wherewith we made the King acquainted . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.243)

<font> Cobham </font> said , if my Lord Chief Justice would say it were
a Contempt , he would subscribe ; whereof being resolv'd , he
subscrib'd . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.244)

There was a Light given to <font> Aremberg </font> , that <font>
Lawrency </font> was examined ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.245)

but that <font> Raleigh </font> knew that <font> Cobham </font> was
examined , is more than I know . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.246)

<font> Raleigh . </font> If my Lord <font> Cobham </font> had trusted
me in the Main , was not I as fit a Man to be trusted in the Bye ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.247)

<font> Lord Cecil . </font> <font> Raleigh </font> did by his Letters
acquaint us , that my Lord <font> Cobham </font> had sent <font>
Lawrency </font> to <font> Aremberg </font> , when he knew not he had
any Dealings with him . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.248)

<font> Lord Hen. Howard . </font> It made for you , if <font> Lawrency
</font> had been only-1 acquainted with <font> Cobham </font> , and not
with you . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.249)

But you knew his whole Estate , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.250)

and were acquainted with <font> Cobham's </font> Practice with <font>
Lawrency </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.251)

and it was known to you before , that <font> Lawrency </font> depended
on <font> Aremberg </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.252)

<font> Attorney . </font> 1 . <font> Raleigh </font> protested against
the surprizing Treason . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.253)

2 . That he knew not of the Matter touching <font> Arabella </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.254)

I would not charge you , Sir <font> Walter </font> , with a Matter of
Falshood : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.255)

You say you suspected the Intelligence that <font> Cobham </font> had
with <font> Aremberg </font> by <font> Lawrency </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.256)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I thought it had been no other Intelligence ,
but such as might be warranted . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.257)

<font> Attorney . </font> Then it was but lawful Suspicion .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.258)

But to that whereas you said , that <font> Cobham </font> had accused
you in Passion , I answer three ways : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.259)

1 . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.260)

I observed when <font> Cobham </font> said , Let me see the Letter
again , he paus'd ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.261)

and when he did see that Count <font> Aremberg </font> was touch'd , he
cry'd out , Oh Traitor ! Oh Villain ! now will I confess the whole
Truth . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.262)

2 . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.263)

The Accusation of a Man on hearsay , is nothing :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.264)

Would he accuse himself on Passion , and ruinate his Cause and
Posterity , out of malice to accuse you ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.265)

3 . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.266)

Could this be out of Passion ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.267)

Mark the Manner of it ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.268)

<font> Cobham </font> had told this at least two Months before to his
Brother <font> Brook , You are Fools , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.269)

you are on the Bye </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.270)

Raleigh <font> and I are on the Main ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.271)

we mean to take away the King and his Cubs : </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.272)

this he deliver'd two Months before . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.273)

So mark the Manner and the Matter ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.274)

he would not turn the Weapon against his own Bosom , and accuse himself
to accuse you . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.275)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Hath <font> Cobham </font> confessed that ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.276)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> This is spoken by Mr. Attorney , to prove
that <font> Cobham's </font> Speech came not out of Passion .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.277)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Let it be proved that <font> Cobham </font>
said so . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,210.C2.278)

<P_I,212.C2>

<font> Raleigh . </font> The Attorney hath made a long Narration of
<font> Copley </font> , and the Priests , which concerns me nothing ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.280)

neither know I how <font> Cobham </font> was alter'd .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.281)

For he told me , if I would agree to further the Peace , he would get
me Crowns . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.282)

I asked him , Who shall have the rest of the Money ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.283)

He said , I will offer such a Nobleman who was not named some of the
Money . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.284)

I said , he will not be persuaded by you , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.285)

and he will extremely hate you for such a Motion .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.286)

Let me be pinched to death with hot Irons , if ever I knew there was
any Intention to bestow the Money on discontented Persons .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.287)

I had made a Discourse against the Peace , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.288)

and would have printed it : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.289)

If <font> Cobham </font> changed his mind , if the Priests , if <font>
Brook </font> had any such Intent , what is that to me ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.290)

They must answer for it . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.291)

He offered me the Mony before <font> Aremberg </font> came ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.292)

that is difference of time . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.293)

<font> Serj. Philips . </font> <font> Raleigh </font> confesseth the
matter , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.294)

but avoideth it by distinguishing of Times .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.295)

You said it was offer'd you before the coming of <font> Aremberg
</font> , which is false . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.296)

For you being examined whether you should have such Money of <font>
Cobham </font> , or not ; you said , yea , and that you should have it
within two or three days . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.297)

Nemo moriturus praesumitur mentiri . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.298)

<font> Ld. Henry Howard . </font> Alledge me any Ground or Cause ,
wherefore you gave ear to my Lord <font> Cobham </font> for receiving
Pensions , in Matters you had not to deal with .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.299)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Could I stop my Lord <font> Cobham's </font>
Mouth ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.300)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> presseth ,
that my Lord <font> Cobham </font> should be brought Face to Face .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.301)

If he ask things of Favour and Grace , they must come only from him
that can give them . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.302)

If we sit here as Commissioners , how shall we be satisfied whether he
ought to be brought , unless we hear the Judges speak ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.303)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> This thing $can $not {TEXT:cannot} be
granted , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.304)

for then a number of Treasons should flourish :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.305)

The Accuser may be drawn by Practice , whilst he is in Person .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.306)

<font> Judge Gawdy . </font> The Statute you speak of , concerning two
Witnesses in Case of Treason , is found to be inconvenient ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.307)

therefore by another Law it was taken away .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.308)

<font> Raleigh . </font> The common Trial of <font> England </font> is
by Jury and Witnesses . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.309)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> No , by Examination :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.310)

If three conspire a Treason , and they all confess it ; here is never a
Witness , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.311)

yet they are condemned . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.312)

<font> Judge Warburton . </font> I marvel , Sir <font> Walter </font> ,
that you being of such Experience and Wit , should stand on this Point
; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.313)

for so many Horse-stealers may escape , if they may not be condemned
without Witnesses . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.314)

If one should rush into the King's Privy-Chamber , whilst he is alone ,
and kill the King <paren> which God forbid </paren> and this Man be met
coming with his Sword drawn all bloody ; shall not he be condemned to
death ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.315)

My Lord <font> Cobham </font> hath , perhaps , been laboured withal ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.316)

and to save you , his old Friend , it may be that he will deny all that
which he hath said . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.317)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I know not how you conceive the Law .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.318)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> Nay , we do not conceive the Law ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.319)

but we know the Law . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.320)

<font> Raleigh . </font> The Wisdom of the Law of God is absolute and
perfect , Haec fac , & vives , &c . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.321)

But now by the Wisdom of the State , the Wisdom of the Law is uncertain
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.322)

Indeed where the Accuser is not to be had conveniently , I agree with
you ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,212.C2.323)

<P_I,213.C1>

but here my Accuser may , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.325)

he is alive , and in the House . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.326)

<font> Susanna </font> had been condemned , if <font> Daniel </font>
had not cried out , <font> Will you condemn an innocent </font>
Israelite , <font> without Examination or Knowledge of the Truth ?
</font> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.327)

Remember , it is absolutely the Commandment of God :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.328)

If a false Witness rise up , you shall cause him to be brought before
the Judges ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.329)

if he be found false , he shall have the Punishment which the Accused
should have had . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.330)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> There must not such a Gap be opened for

you . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.339)

<font> Raleigh . </font> The King desires nothing but the knowledge of
the Truth , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C1.340)

' He saith he had a Book written against the Title of the King , which
he had of <font> Raleigh </font> , and that he gave it to his Brother
<font> Brook : </font> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.413)

and <font> Raleigh </font> said it was foolishly written . '
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.414)

<font> Attorn. </font> After the King came within twelve Miles of
<font> London </font> , <font> Cobham </font> never came to see him ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.415)

and intended to travel without seeing the Queen and the Prince .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.416)

Now in this Discontentment you gave him the Book ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.417)

and he gave it his Brother . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.418)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I never gave it him ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.419)

he took it off my Table . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.420)

For I well remember a little before that time I received a Challenge
from Sir <font> Amias Preston </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.421)

and for that I did intend to answer it , I resolved to leave my Estate
settled , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.422)

therefore laid out all my loose Papers , amongst which was this Book .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.423)

<font> Ld. Howard . </font> Where had you this Book ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.424)

<font> Raleigh . </font> In the old Lord Treasurer's Study , after his
Death . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,213.C2.425)

<P_I,214.C1>

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> Did you ever shew or make known the Book to
me ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.427)

<font> Raleigh . </font> No , my Lord . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.428)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> Was it one of the Books which was left to me
or my Brother ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.429)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I took it out of the Study in my Lord
Treasurer's House in the <font> Strand </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.430)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> After my Father's decease , Sir <font>
Walter Raleigh </font> desired to search for some Cosmographical
Descriptions of the <font> Indies </font> , which he thought were in
his Study , and were not to be had in Print ; which I granted ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.431)

and would have trusted Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> as soon as any
Man : tho since for some Infirmities , the Bands of my Affection to him
have been broken ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.432)

and yet reserving my Duty to the King my Master , which I can by no
means dispense with , by God I love him , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.433)

and have a great Conflict within my self : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.434)

But I must needs say , Sir <font> Walter </font> used me a little
unkindly , to take the Book away without my Knowledge ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.435)

nevertheless , I need make no Apology in behalf of my Father ,
considering how useful and necessary it is for Privy Counsellors , and
those in his Place , to intercept and keep such kind of Writings ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.436)

for whosoever should then search his Study , may in all likelihood find
all the notorious Libels that were writ against the late Queen ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.437)

and whosoever should rumage my Study , at least my Cabinet , may find
several against the King , our Sovereign Lord , since his Accession to
the Throne . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.438)

<font> Raleigh . </font> The Book was in Manuscript ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.439)

and the late Lord Treasurer had wrote in the beginning of it with his
own Hand , these Words , <font> This is the Book of </font> Robert
Snagg . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.440)

And I do own , as my Lord <font> Cecil </font> has said , that I
believe they may also find in my House , almost all the Libels that
have been writ against the late Queen . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.441)

<font> Attorn. </font> You were no Privy-Councellor ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.442)

and I hope never shall be . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.443)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> He was not a sworn Counsellor of State ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.444)

but he has been called to Consultations . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.445)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I think it a very severe Interpretation of the
Law , to bring me within Compass of Treason for this Book , writ so
long ago , of which no body had read any more than the Heads of the
Chapters , and which was burnt by <font> G. Brook </font> without my
Privity ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.446)

admitting I had delivered the same to the Lord <font> Cobham </font> ,
without allowing or approving , but discommending it , according to
<font> Cobham's </font> first Accusation : and put the Case , I should
come to my Lord <font> Cecil </font> , as I have often done , and find
a Stranger with him , with a Packet of Libels , and my Lord should let
me have one or two of them to peruse : This I hope is no Treason .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.447)

<font> Attorn. </font> I observe there was Intelligence between you and
<font> Cobham </font> in the <font> Tower </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.448)

for after he said , it was against the King's Title , he denied it
again . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.449)

<font> Sir Will. Wade . </font> First my Lord <font> Cobham </font>
confesseth it , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.450)

and after he had subscribed it , he revoked it again :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.451)

To me he always said , that the Drift of it was against the King's
Title . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.452)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I protest before God , and all his Works , I
gave him not the Book . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.453)

<font> Note </font> , Sir <font> Robert Wroth </font> speaketh , or
whispereth something secretly . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.454)

Wroth </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C1.455)

<font> Sir Rob. Wroth . </font> I will speak as truly as you , Mr.
Attorney , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C2.461)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> Wherefore should this Book be burnt ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C2.463)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I burned it not . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C2.464)

<font> Serj. Philips . </font> You presented your Friend with it , when
he was discontented . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C2.465)

If it had been before the Queen's Death , it had been a less matter ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,214.C2.466)

<font> Kemish </font> was never on the Rack ,

prepare her ; which she laugh'd at , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.514)

and immediately sent it to the King . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.515)

So far was she from Discontentment , that she laugh'd him to scorn .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.516)

But you see how far the Count of <font> Aremberg </font> did consent .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.517)

The Lord Admiral <paren> <font> Nottingham </font> </paren> being by in
a Standing , with the Lady <font> Arabella </font> , spake to the Court
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.518)

The Lady doth here protest upon her Salvation , that she never dealt in
any of these things ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.519)

and so she willed me to tell the Court . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.520)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> The Lord <font> Cobham </font> wrote to my
Lady <font> Arabella </font> , to know if he might come to speak with
her , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.521)

and gave her to understand , that there were some about the King that
laboured to disgrace her ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.522)

she doubted it was but a Trick . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.523)

But <font> Brook </font> saith , his Brother moved him to procure
<font> Arabella </font> to write Letters to the King of <font> Spain
</font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.524)

but he saith , he never did it . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.525)

<font> Raleigh . </font> The Lord <font> Cobham </font> hath accused me
, (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.526)

you see in what manner he hath forsworn it .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.527)

Were it not for his Accusation , all this were nothing .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.528)

Let him be asked , if I knew of the Letter which <font> Lawrency
</font> brought to him from <font> Aremberg </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.529)

Let me speak for my Life , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.530)

it can be no hurt for him to be brought ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.531)

he dares not accuse me . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.532)

If you grant me not this Favour , I am strangely used .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.533)

<font> Campian </font> was not denied to have his Accusers face to face
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.534)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> Since he must needs have Justice , the
acquitting of his old Friend may move him to speak otherwise than the
Truth . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.535)

<font> Raleigh . </font> If I had been the Infuser of all these
Treasons into him ; you Gentlemen of the Jury , mark this ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.536)

he said I have been the Cause of all his Miseries , and the Destruction
of his House , and that all Evil hath happened unto him by my wicked
Counsel : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.537)

If this be true , whom hath he cause to accuse , and to be revenged on
, but on me ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.538)

And I know him to be as revengeful as any Man on Earth .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.539)

<font> Attorn. </font> He is a Party , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.540)

and may not come ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.541)

the Law is against it . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.542)

<font> Raleigh . </font> It is a Toy to tell me of Law ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.543)

I defy such Law , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.544)

I stand on the Fact . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.545)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> I am afraid my often speaking <paren> who am
inferiour to my Lords here present </paren> will make the World think I
delight to hear my self talk . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.546)

My Affection to you , Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> , was not
extinguished , but slaked , in regard of your Deserts .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.547)

You know the Law of the Realm <paren> to which your Mind doth not
contest </paren> that my Lord <font> Cobham </font> $can $not
{TEXT:cannot} be brought . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.548)

<font> Raleigh . </font> He may be , my Lord .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.549)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> But dare you challenge it ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.550)

<font> Raleigh . </font> No . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.551)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> You say that my Lord <font> Cobham </font> ,
your main Accuser , must come to accuse you .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.552)

You say , he hath retracted : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.553)

I say , many Particulars are not retracted .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.554)

What the Validity of all this is , is merely left to the Jury .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.555)

Let me ask you this , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.556)

If my Lord <font> Cobham </font> will say you were the only Instigator
of him to proceed in the Treasons , dare you put your self on this ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C1.557)

<font> Raleigh . </font> If he will speak it before God and the King ,
that ever I knew of <font> Arabella's </font> Matter , or the Money out
of <font> Spain </font> , or the surprising Treason ; <P_I,215.C2> I
put my self on it , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.558)

God's Will and the King's be done with me . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.559)

<font> Ld. H. Howard . </font> How ! if he speak things equivalent to
that you have said ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.560)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Yes , in a main Point .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.561)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> If he say , you have been the Instigator of
him to deal with the <font> Spanish </font> King , had not the Council
cause to draw you hither ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.562)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I put my self on it .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.563)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> Then Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> ,
call upon God , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.564)

and prepare your self ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.565)

for I do verily believe my Lords will prove this .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.566)

Excepting your faults <paren> I call them no worse </paren> by God I am
your Friend . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.567)

The Heat and Passion in you , and the Attorney's Zeal in the King's
Service , makes me speak this . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.568)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Whosoever is the Workman , it is reason he
should give an account of his Work to the Workmaster .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.569)

But let it be proved that he acquainted me with any of his Conferences
with <font> Aremberg : </font> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.570)

he would surely have given me some account .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.571)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> That follows not :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.572)

If I set you on work , and you give me no account , am I therefore
innocent ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.573)

<font> Attorn. </font> For the Lady <font> Arabella </font> , I said
she was never acquainted with the matter . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.574)

Now that <font> Raleigh </font> had Conference in all these Treasons ,
it is manifest : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.575)

The Jury hath heard the matter . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.576)

There is one <font> Dyer </font> , a Pilot , that being in <font>
Lisbon </font> , met with a <font> Portugal </font> Gentleman , who
ask'd him if the King of <font> England </font> was crown'd yet ? To
whom he answered , <font> I think not yet , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.577)

but he shall be shortly </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.578)

Nay , saith the <font> Portugal </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.579)

that shall never be , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.580)

for his Throat will be cut by <font> Don Raleigh </font> and <font> Don
Cobham </font> before he be crowned . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.581)

Dyer <font> was called and sworn , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.582)

and deliver'd this Evidence . </font> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.583)

<font> Dyer . </font> I came to a Merchant's House in <font> Lisbon
</font> , to see a Boy that I had there ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.584)

there came a Gentleman into the House , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.585)

and enquiring what Countryman I was , I said , an <font> Englishman
</font> . Whereupon he asked me , if the King was crowned ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.586)

And I answered , No , but that I hoped he should be so shortly .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.587)

Nay , saith he , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.588)

he shall never be crowned ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.589)

for <font> Don Raleigh </font> and <font> Don Cobham </font> will cut
his Throat ere that Day come . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.590)

<font> Raleigh . </font> What infer you upon this ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.591)

<font> Attorn. </font> That your Treason hath Wings .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.592)

<font> Raleigh . </font> If <font> Cobham </font> did practise with
<font> Aremberg </font> , how could it not but be known in <font> Spain
? </font> (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.593)

Why did they name the Duke of <font> Buckingham </font> with <font>
Jack Straw's </font> Treason , and the Duke of <font> York </font> with
<font> Jack Cade </font> , but that it was to countenance his Treason ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.594)

Consider you Gentlemen of the Jury , there is no Cause so doubtful
which the King's Counsel $can $not {TEXT:cannot} make good against the
Law . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.595)

Consider my Disability , and their Ability :
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.596)

They prove nothing against me , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.597)

only they bring the Accusation of my Lord <font> Cobham </font> , which
he hath lamented and repented as heartily , as if it had been for an
horrible Murder : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.598)

for he knew that all this Sorrow which should come to me , is by his
means . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.599)

Presumptions must proceed from precedent or subsequent Facts .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.600)

I have spent Crowns against the <font> Spaniard </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.601)

I had not purchased Pound a Year . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.602)

If I had died in <font> Guiana </font> , I had not left Marks a Year to
my Wife and Son . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.603)

I that have always condemned the <font> Spanish </font> Faction , $me
$thinks {TEXT:methinks} it is a strange thing that now I should affect
it ! (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,215.C2.604)

<P_I,216.C1>

Remember what St. <font> Austin </font> says ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.606)

Sic judicate tanquam ab alio mox judicandi ; unus judex , unum Tribunal
. (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.607)

If you would be contented on Presumptions to be delivered up to be
slaughtered , to have your Wives and Children turned into the Streets
to beg their Bread ; if you would be contented to be so judged , judge
so of me . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.608)

<font> Serj. Philips . </font> I hope to make this so clear , as that
the Wit of Man shall have no Colour to answer it .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.609)

The Matter is Treason in the highest Degree , the End to deprive the
King of his Crown . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.610)

The particular Treasons are these : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.611)

First , to raise up Rebellion , and to effect that , to procure Money ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.612)

to raise up Tumults in <font> Scotland </font> , by divulging a
treasonable Book against the King's Right to the Crown ;
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.613)

the purpose , to take away the Life of his Majesty and his Issue .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.614)

My Lord <font> Cobham </font> confesseth Sir <font> Walter Raleigh
</font> to be quilty of all these Treasons .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.615)

The Question is , whether he be guilty as joining with him , or
instigating of him ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.616)

The Course to prove this , was by my Lord <font> Cobham's </font>
Accusation . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.617)

If that be true , he is guilty ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.618)

if not , he is clear . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.619)

So whether <font> Cobham </font> say true , or <font> Raleigh </font> ,
that is the Question . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.620)

<font> Raleigh </font> hath no Answer , but the Shadow of as much Wit ,
as the Wit of Man can devise . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.621)

He useth his bare Denial ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.622)

the Denial of a Defendant must not move the Jury .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.623)

In the Star-Chamber , or in the Chancery , for matter of Title , if the
Defendant be called in question , his Denial on his Oath is no Evidence
to the Court to clear him , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.624)

he doth it in propria causa ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.625)

therefore much less in Matters of Treason . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.626)

<font> Cobham's </font> Testification against him before then , and
since , hath been largely discoursed . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.627)

<font> Raleigh . </font> If Truth be constant , and Constancy be in
Truth , why hath he forsworn that that he hath said ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.628)

You have not proved any one thing against me by direct Proofs , but all
by Circumstances . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.629)

<font> Attorn. </font> Have you done ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.630)

The King must have the last . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.631)

<font> Raleigh . </font> Nay , Mr. Attorney , he which speaketh for his
Life , must speak last . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.632)

False Repetitions and Mistakings must not mar my Cause .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.633)

You should speak secundum allegata & probata .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.634)

I appeal to God and the King in this Point , whether <font> Cobham's
</font> Accusation be sufficient to condemn me ?
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.635)

<font> Attorn. </font> The King's Safety and your Clearing $can $not
{TEXT:cannot} agree . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.636)

I protest before God , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.637)

I never knew a clearer Treason . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.638)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I never had Intelligence with <font> Cobham
</font> since I came to the <font> Tower </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.639)

<font> Attorn. </font> Go to , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.640)

I will lay thee upon thy Back , for the confidentest Traitor that ever
came at a Bar . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.641)

Why should you take Crowns for a Peace ? (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.642)

<font> Ld. Cecil . </font> Be not so impatient , good Mr. <font>
Attorney </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.643)

give him leave to speak . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.644)

<font> Attorney . </font> If I may not be patiently heard , you will
encourage Traitors , and discourage us . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.645)

I am the King's sworn Servant , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.646)

and must speak : (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.647)

If he be Guilty , he is a Traitor ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.648)

if not , deliver him . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.649)

<font> Note </font> , Here Mr. Attorney sat down in a Chase ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.650)

and would speak no more , until the Commissioners urged and intreated
him . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.651)

After much ado , he went on , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.652)

and made a long Repetition of all the Evidence , for the Direction of
the Jury ; (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.653)

and at the repeating of some things , Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font>
interrupted him , (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.654)

and said , he did him wrong . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C1.655)

<P_I,216.C2>

<font> Attorney . </font> Thou art the most vile and execrable Traitor
that ever lived . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.657)

<font> Raleigh . </font> You speak indiscreetly , barbarously and
uncivilly . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.658)

<font> Attorney . </font> I want Words sufficient to express thy
viperous Treasons . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.659)

<font> Raleigh . </font> I think you want Words indeed ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.660)

for you have spoken one thing half a dozen times .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.661)

<font> Attorney . </font> Thou art an odious Fellow ,
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.662)

thy Name is hateful to all the Realm of <font> England </font> for thy
Pride . (RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.663)

<font> Raleigh . </font> It will go near to prove a measuring Cast
between you and me , Mr. <font> Attorney </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-H,I,216.C2.664)
