<P_1,213>

And the more to disable and deprive the King of his Crown , and to
confirm the said <font> Cobham </font> in his Intents , <font> Raleigh
</font> did publish a Book , falsly written against the most Just and
Royal Title of the King , knowing the said Book to be written against
the just Title of the King ; which Book <font> Cobham </font> after
that received of him . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.2)

Further , for the better effecting these traitorous Purposes , and to
establish the said <font> Brook </font> in his Intent , the said <font>
Cobham </font> did deliver the said Book unto him the 14th of <font>
June </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.3)

And further , the said <font> Cobham </font> , on the 16th of <font>
June </font> , for Accomplishment of the said Conference , and by the
traitorous Instigation of <font> Raleigh </font> , did move <font>
Brook </font> to incite <font> Arabella </font> to write to the three
forenamed Princes , to procure them to advance her Title ; and that she
, after she had obtained the Crown , should promise to perform three
Things , <font> viz. </font> 1. Peace between <font> England </font>
and <font> Spain </font> . 2. To tolerate with Impunity the Popish and
Roman Superstitions . 3. To be ruled by them three in the contracting
of her Marriage . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.4)

To these Motions the said <font> Brook </font> gave his Assent .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.5)

And for the better effecting of the said Treasons , <font> Cobham
</font> on the 17th of <font> June </font> , by the Instigation of
<font> Raleigh </font> , did write Letters to Count <font> Aremberg
</font> , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.6)

and did deliver the said Letters to one <font> Matthew de Lawrency
</font> , to be delivered to the said Count , which he did deliver ,
for the obtaining of the Crowns ; which Money by other Letters Count
<font> Aremberg </font> did promise to perform the Payment of ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.7)

and this Letter <font> Cobham </font> received the 18th of <font> June
</font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.8)

And then did <font> Cobham </font> promise to <font> Raleigh </font> ,
that when he had received the said Money , he would deliver Crowns to
him , to which Motion he did consent ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.9)

and afterwards <font> Cobham </font> offered <font> Brook </font> ,
that after he should receive the said Crowns , he would give to him
thereof ; to which Motion <font> Brook </font> did assent .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.10)

To the Indictment , Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> pleaded Not
Guilty . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.11)

The Jury . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.12)

Sir <font> Ralph Conisby </font> , Sir <font> Edward Peacock </font> ,
Sir <font> Thomas Fowler </font> , Sir <font> William Rowe </font> ,
Knights . <font> Henry Goodyer </font> , <font> Roger Wood </font> ,
<font> Thomas Walker </font> , <font> Thomas Whitby </font> , Esquires
. <font> Thomas Highgate </font> , <paren> John Chawkey </font> ,
<font> Robert Kempton </font> , <font> Robert Bromley </font> ,
Gentlemen . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.13)

Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> , Prisoner , was asked , Whether he
would take exceptions to any of the Jury ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.14)

<font> Raleigh </font> . I know none of them ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.15)

they are all Christians , and honest Gentlemen ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.16)

I except against none . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.17)

E. <font> Suffolk </font> . You Gentlemen of the King's Learned Counsel
, follow the same course as you did the other day .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.18)

<font> Raleigh </font> . My Lord , I pray you I may answer the Points
particularly as they are delivered , by reason of the Weakness of my
Memory and Sickness . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.19)

<font> L. C. Just. Popham </font> . After the King's Learned Council
have delivered all the Evidence , Sir <font> Walter </font> , you may
answer particularly to what you will . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.20)

<font> Heale , the King's Serjeant at Law </font> . You have heard of
<font> Raleigh </font> 's bloody attempts to kill the King and his
Royal Progeny , and in place thereof , to advance one <font> Arabella
Stuart </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.21)

The Particulars of the Indictment are these : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.22)

First , that <font> Raleigh </font> met with <font> Cobham </font> the
9th of <font> June </font> , and had Conference of an Invasion , of a
Rebellion , and an Insurrection , to be made by the King's Subjects ,
to depose the King , and to kill his Children , poor Babes that never
gave Offence . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.23)

Here is Blood , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.24)

here is a new King and Governor . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.25)

In our King consists all our Happiness , and the true Use of the Gospel
; a thing which we all wish to be settled , after the Death of the
Queen . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.26)

Here must be Money to do this , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.27)

for Money is the Sinew of War . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.28)

Where should that be had ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.29)

Count <font> Aremberg </font> must procure it of <font> Philip </font>
King of <font> Spain </font> , five or six Hundred Thousand Crowns ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.30)

and out of this Sum <font> Raleigh </font> must have Eight Thousand .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.31)

But what is that Count <font> Aremberg ? </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.32)

Though I am no good <font> Frenchman </font> , yet it is as much as to
say in <font> English </font> , Earl of <font> Aremberg </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.33)

Then there must be Friends to effect this : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.34)

<font> Cobham </font> must go to <font> Albert </font> Archduke of
<font> Austria </font> , for whom <font> Aremberg </font> was
Embassador at that time in <font> England </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.35)

And what then ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.36)

He must persuade the Duke to assist the pretended Title of <font>
Arabella </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.37)

From thence <font> Cobham </font> must go to the King of <font> Spain
</font> , and persuade him to assist the said Title .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.38)

Since the Conquest , there was never the like Treason .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.39)

But out of whose Head came it ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.40)

Out of <font> Raleigh </font> 's , who must also advise <font> Cobham
</font> to use his Brother <font> Brook </font> to incite the Lady
<font> Arabella </font> to write three several Letters , as aforesaid
in the Indictment : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.41)

all this was on the 9th of <font> June </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.42)

Then three Days after , <font> Brook </font> was acquainted with it .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.43)

After this , <font> Cobham </font> said to <font> Brook </font> , It
will never be well in <font> England </font> , till the King and his
Cubs are taken away . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.44)

Afterwards , <font> Raleigh </font> delivered a Book to <font> Cobham
</font> , treacherously written against the Title of the King .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.45)

It appears that <font> Cobham </font> took <font> Raleigh </font> to be
either a God , or an Idol . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.46)

<font> Cobham </font> endeavours to set up a new King , or Governor :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.47)

God forbid mine Eyes should ever see so unhappy a Change .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.48)

As for the Lady <font> Arabella </font> , she , upon my Conscience ,
hath no more Title to the Crown $than {TEXT:that} I have , which before
God I utterly renounce . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.49)

<font> Cobham </font> , a Man bred in <font> England </font> , hath $no
{TEXT:on} Experience abroad ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.50)

but <font> Raleigh </font> , a Man of great Wit , Military , and a
Sword-Man . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.51)

Now whether these things were bred in a hollow Tree , I leave to them
to speak of , who can speak far better than myself .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.52)

<font> And so sat him down again </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,213.53)

<P_1,214>

<font> Sir Ed. Coke , the King's Attorney </font> . I must first , my
Lords , before I come to the Cause , give one Caution , because we
shall often mention Persons of eminent Places , some of them great
Monarchs : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.55)

Whatever we say of them we shall but repeat what others have said of
them ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.56)

I mean the Capital Offenders in their Confessions .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.57)

We professing Law , must speak reverently of Kings and Potentates .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.58)

I perceive these honourable Lords , and the rest of this great Assembly
, are come to hear what hath been scattered upon the Wrack of Report .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.59)

We carry a just Mind , to condemn no Man , but upon plain Evidence ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.60)

Here is Mischief , Mischief <font> in summo gradu </font> , exorbitant
Mischief . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.61)

My Speech shall chiefly touch these three Points ; <font> Imitation
</font> , <font> Supportation </font> , and <font> Defence </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.62)

The Imitation of Evil ever exceeds the Precedent ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.63)

as on the contrary , Imitation of Good ever comes short .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.64)

Mischief $can $not {TEXT:cannot} be supported but by Mischief ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.65)

yea , it will so multiply , that it will bring all to Confusion .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.66)

Mischief is ever underprop'd by Falshood or foul Practices :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.67)

and because all these things did concur in this Treason , you shall
understand the Main , as before you did the Bye .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.68)

The Treason of the Bye consisteth in these Points :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.69)

First , that the Lord <font> Grey </font> , <font> Brook </font> ,
<font> Markham </font> , and the rest , intended by Force in the Night
to surprize the King's Court ; which was a Rebellion in the Heart of
the Realm , yea , in the Heart of the Heart , in the Court .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.70)

They intended to take him that is a Sovereign , to make him subject to
their Power . Purposing to open the Doors with Musquets and Caliveers ,
and to take also the Prince and Council : then under the King's
Authority to carry the King to the Tower ; and to make a Stale of the
Admiral . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.71)

When they had the King there , to extort three things from him : First
, A Pardon for all their Treasons : Secondly , A Toleration of the
Roman Superstition ; which their Eyes shall sooner fall out than they
shall ever see ; for the King hath spoken these Words in the hearing of
many , <font> I will lose the Crown and my Life , before ever I will
alter Religion </font> . And , Thirdly To remove Counsellors .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.72)

In the room of the Lord Chancellor , they would have placed one <font>
Watson </font> a Priest , absurd in Humanity and ignorant in Divinity .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.73)

<font> Brook </font> , of whom I will speak nothing , Lord Treasurer .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.74)

The great Secretary must be <font> Markham </font> ; <font> Oculus
Patriae </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.75)

A Hole must be found in milord Chief Justice's Coat .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.76)

<font> Grey </font> must be Earl-Marshall , and Master of the Horse ,
because he would have a Table in the Court ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.77)

marry , he would advance the Earl of <font> Worcester </font> to a
higher Place . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.78)

All this $can $not {TEXT:cannot} be done without a Multitude :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.79)

Therefore <font> Watson </font> the Priest tells a resolute Man , that
the King was in Danger of <font> Puritans </font> and <font> Jesuits
</font> ; so to bring him in blindfold into the Action , saying , That
the King is no King till he be crown'd ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.80)

therefore every Man might right his own Wrongs :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.81)

But he is <font> Rex natus </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.82)

his Dignity descends as well as yours , my Lords .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.83)

Then <font> Watson </font> imposeth a blasphemous Oath , that they
should Swear to defend the King's Person ; to keep secret what was
given them in charge , and seek all Ways and Means to advance the
Catholick Religion . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.84)

Then they intend to send for the Lord Mayor and the Aldermen , in the
King's Name , to the Tower , lest they should make any Resistance , and
then to take Hostages of them ; and to enjoin them to provide for them
Victuals and Munition . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.85)

<font> Grey </font> , because the King removed before <font> Midsummer
</font> , had a further Reach , to get a Company of Swordmen to assist
the Action : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.86)

Therefore he would stay till he had obtained a Regiment from <font>
Ostend </font> or <font> Austria </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.87)

So you see the Treason were like <font> Sampson </font> 's Foxes ,
which were joined in their Tails , tho' their Heads were sever'd .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.88)

<font> Raleigh </font> . You Gentlemen of the Jury , I pray remember ,
I am not charged with the Bye , being the Treason of the Priest .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.89)

<font> Attorney . </font> You are not . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.90)

My Lords , you shall observe three things in the Treasons :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.91)

First , they had a Watch-word , <paren> the King's Safety </paren> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.92)

their Pretence was <font> Bonum in se </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.93)

their Intent was <font> Malum in se </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.94)

Secondly , they avouched Scripture ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.95)

both the Priests had <font> Scriptum est </font> ; perverting and
ignorantly mistaking the Scriptures : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.96)

Thirdly , They avouch'd the Common Law , to prove that he was no King
'till he was crowned ; alledging a Statute of 13 <font> Eliz. </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.97)

This , by way of Imitation , hath been the course of all Traitors .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.98)

In the of <font> Edward </font> II . <font> Isabella </font> the Queen
, and the Lord <font> Mortimer </font> , gave out , that the King's
Person was not safe , for the good of the Church and Commonwealth .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.99)

The Bishop of <font> Carlisle </font> did preach on this Text , <font>
My Head is grieved </font> , meaning by the Head , the King ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.100)

that when the Head began to be negligent , the People might reform what
is amiss . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.101)

In the 3d of <font> Henry </font> IV . Sir <font> Roger Clarendon
</font> , accompany'd with two Priests , gave out That <font> Richard
</font> II. Was alive , when he was dead . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.102)

<font> Edward </font> III. Caused <font> Mortimer </font> 's Head to be
cut off , for giving Counsel to murder the King .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.103)

The 3d of <font> Henry </font> VII . Sir <font> Henry Stanley </font>
found the Crown in the Dust , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.104)

and set it on the King's Head : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.105)

when <font> Fitzwater </font> and <font> Garret </font> told him , that
<font> Edward </font> V. was alive , he said , <font> If he be alive ,
I will assist him </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.106)

But this cost him his Head . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.107)

<font> Edmund de la Pole </font> , Duke of <font> Suffolk </font> ,
killed a Man in the Reign of King <font> Henry </font> VII. For which
the King would have him hold up his Hand at the Bar ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.108)

and then pardoned him : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.109)

Yet he took such an Offence thereat , that he sent to the Noblemen to
help to reform the Commonwealth ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.110)

and he said , he would go to <font> France </font> and get Power there
. (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.111)

Sir <font> Roger Compton </font> knew all the Treason ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.112)

and discovered <font> Windon </font> and others , that were attainted .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.113)

He said , there was another thing that would be stood upon , namely ,
that they had but one Witness . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.114)

Then he vouched one <font> Appleyard </font> 's Case , a Traitor in
<font> Norfolk </font> , who said , a Man must have two Accusers .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.115)

<font> Helms </font> was the Man that accused him ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.116)

but Mr. Justice <font> Cotlin </font> said , that that Statue was not
in force at that Day . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.117)

His Words were , <font> Thrust her into the Ditch </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.118)

Then he went on speaking of Accusers , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.119)

and made this difference : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.120)

An Accuser is a Speaker by Report , when a Witness is he that upon his
Oath shall speak his Knowledge of any Man . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.121)

A third sort of Evidence there is likewise , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.122)

and this is held more forcible than either of the other two ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.123)

and that is , when a Man , by his Accusation of another , shall , by
the same Accusation , also condemn himself , and make himself liable to
the same Fault and Punishment : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.124)

This is more forcible than many Witnesses . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.125)

So then so much by way of Imitation . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.126)

Then he defined Treason : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.127)

There is Treason in the Heart , in the Hand , in the Mouth , in
Consummation : comparing that <font> in Corde </font> to the Root of a
Tree ; <font> in Ore </font> , to the Bud ; <font> in Manu </font> to
the Blossom ; and that which is <font> in Consummatione </font> , to
the Fruit . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,214.128)

{COM:insert_helsinki_sample_1}

<P_1,218>

<font> Attorney </font> . <font> Cobham </font> saith , he was a long
time doubtful of <font> Raleigh </font> , that he would send him and
the Money to the King . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.131)

Did <font> Cobham </font> fear lest you would betray him in <font>
Jersey ? </font> (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.132)

Then of necessity there must be Trust between you .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.133)

No Man can betray a Man , but he that is trusted , in my understanding
. (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.134)

This is the greatest Argument to prove that he was acquainted with
<font> Cobham </font> 's Proceedings . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.135)

<font> Raleigh </font> has a deeper Reach , than to make himself , as
he said , <font> Robin Hood </font> , a <font> Kett </font> , or <font>
Cade </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.136)

yet I never heard that <font> Robin Hood </font> was a Traitor ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.137)

they say he was an outlaw . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.138)

And whereas he saith that our King is not only more wealthy and potent
then his Predecessors , but also more politick and wise , so that he
could have no hope to prevail ; I answer , There is no King so potent ,
wise and active , but he may be overtaken thro' Treason .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.139)

Whereas you say <font> Spain </font> is so poor , discoursing so
largely thereof ; it had been better for you to have kept in <font>
Guiana </font> , than to have been so well acquainted with the State of
<font> Spain </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.140)

Besides , if you could have brought <font> Spain </font> and <font>
Scotland </font> to have joined , you might have hoped to prevail a
great deal the better . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.141)

For his six Overthrows , I answer , he hath the more Malice , because
Repulses breed Desire of Revenge . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.142)

Then you say you never talked with <font> Cobham </font> , but about
Leases , and letting Lands , and ordering his House ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.143)

I never knew you Clerk of the Kitchen , <font> &c. </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.144)

If you had fallen on your knees at first , and confessed the Treason ,
it had been better for you . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.145)

You say , He meant to have given me a Cabinet of thirty Pound ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.146)

perhaps he thought by those means to have anticipated me therewith .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.147)

But you say all these are Circumstances : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.148)

I answer , all this Accusation in Circumstance is true .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.149)

Here now I might appeal to my Lords , that you take hold off this ,
that he subscribed not to the Accusation . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.150)

<font> Lord Hen. Howard </font> . <font> Cobham </font> was not then
pressed to subscribe . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.151)

<font> Attorney </font> . His Accusation being testify'd by the Lords ,
is of as great force , as if he had subscrib'd .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.152)

<font> Raleigh </font> saith again , If the Accuser be alive , he must
be brought face to face to speak ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.153)

and alledges 25 <font> Edward </font> III. that there must be two
sufficient Witnesses , that must be brought face to face before the
Accused ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.154)

and alledgeth and 13 <font> Elizabeth </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.155)

<font> Raleigh </font> . You try me by the <font> Spanish </font>
Inquisition , if you proceed only by the Circumstances , without two
Witnesses . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.156)

<font> Attorney </font> . This is a treasonable speech .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.157)

<font> Raleigh </font> . <font> Evertere Hominem justum in Causa sua
injustum est </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.158)

Good my Lords , let it be proved , either-3 by the Laws of the Land ,
or the Laws of God , that there ought not to be two Witnesses appointed
; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.159)

yet I will not stand to defend this Point in Law , if the King will
have it so : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.160)

it is no rare thing for a Man to be falsely accused .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.161)

A Judge condemn'd a Woman in <font> Sarum </font> for killing her
Husband on the Testimony of one Witness ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.162)

afterwards his Man confessed the Murder , when she was executed : who
after being touch'd in Conscience for the Judgment , was used to say ,
<font> Quod nunquam de hoc facto animam in vita sua pargaret </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.163)

It is also commanded by the Scripture ; <font> Allocutus est Jehova
Mosen In Ore duorum aut trium Testium , &c. </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.164)

If Christ requireth it , as it appeareth , <font> Mat. </font> 18 . if
by the Canon , Civil Law , and God's Word , it be required , that there
must be two Witnesses at the least ; bear with me if I desire one .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.165)

I would not desire to live , if I were privy to <font> Cobham </font>
's Proceedings . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.166)

I have been a Slave , a Villain , a Fool , if I had endeavour'd to set
up <font> Arabella </font> , and refus'd so gracious a Lord and
Sovereign . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.167)

But urge your Proofs . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.168)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> You have offer'd Questions on diverse
Statutes , all which mention two Accusers in case of Indictments :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.169)

you have deceiv'd yourself , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.170)

for the Laws of 25 <font> Edward </font> III. and 5 <font> Edward
</font> VI. are repealed . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.171)

It sufficeth now if there be Proofs made either under Hand , or by
Testimony of Witnesses , or by Oaths ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.172)

it needs not the Subscription of the Party , so there be Hands of
credible Men to testify the Examination . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.173)

<font> Raleigh </font> It may be an Error in me ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.174)

and if those Laws be repeal'd , yet I hope the Equity of them remains
still ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.175)

but if you affirm it , it must be a Law to Posterity .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.176)

The Proof of the Common Law is by Witness and Jury ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.177)

let <font> Cobham </font> be here , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.178)

let him speak it . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.179)

Call my Accuser before my Face , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.180)

and I have done . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.181)

<font> Attorney </font> . <font> Scientia Sceleris est mera Ignorantia
</font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.182)

You have read the Letter of the Law , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.183)

but understand it not . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.184)

Here was your Anchor-hold , and your Rendezvous :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.185)

you trust to <font> Cobham </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.186)

either <font> Cobham </font> must accuse you , or no body ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.187)

if he did , then it would not hurt you ; because he is but one Witness
; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.188)

if he did not , then you are safe . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.189)

<font> Raleigh </font> . If ever I read a Word of the Law or Statute ,
before I was Prisoner in the Tower , God confound me .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.190)

<font> Attorney </font> . Now I come to prove the Circumstance of the
Accusation to be true . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.191)

<font> Cobham </font> confessed he had a Pass-port to travel , hereby
intending to present Overtures to the Arch-Duke , and from thence to go
to <font> Spain </font> , and there to have conference with the King
for Money . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.192)

You say he promised to come home by <font> Jersey </font> , to make
merry with you and your Wife . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.193)

<font> Raleigh </font> . I said in his return from <font> France
</font> , not <font> Spain </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,218.194)

<P_1,219>

<font> Attorney </font> . Further , in his Examination he saith ,
nothing could be set down for the Distribution of the Money to the
Discontented , without Conference with <font> Raleigh </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.196)

You said it should have been for Procurement of Peace ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.197)

but it was for raising Rebellion . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.198)

Further , <font> Cobham </font> saith , he would never have enter'd
into these Courses , but by your Instigation , and that you would never
let him alone . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.199)

Your Scholar was not apt enough to tell us all the Plots ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.200)

that is enough for you to do , that are his Master .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.201)

You intended to trust Sir <font> Arthur Savage </font> , whom I take to
be an honest and true Gentleman , but not Sir <font> Arthur George
</font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.202)

<font> Raleigh </font> . All this is but one Accusation of <font>
Cobham </font> 's , I hear no other thing ; to which Accusation he
never subscribed nor {TEXT:not} avouched it . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.203)

I beseech you , my Lords , let <font> Cobham </font> be sent for ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.204)

charge him on his Soul , on his Allegiance to the King ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.205)

if he affirm it , I am guilty . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.206)

<font> Lord Cecil </font> . It is the Accusation of my Lord <font>
Cobham </font> , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.207)

it is the Evidence against you : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.208)

must it not be of force without his Subscription ?
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.209)

I desire to be resolv'd by the Judges , whether by the Law it is not a
forcible Argument of Evidence . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.210)

<font> Judges </font> . My Lord , it is . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.211)

<font> Raleigh </font> . The King at his Coronation is sworn <font> In
omnibus Judiciis suis aequitatem , non rigorem Legis , observare
</font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.212)

By the Rigour and Cruelty of the Law it may be a forcible Evidence .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.213)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> That is not the Rigour of the Law , but
the Justice of the Law ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.214)

else when a Man hath made a plain Accusation , by Practice he might be
brought to retract it again . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.215)

<font> Raleigh </font> . Oh my Lord , you may use Equity .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.216)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> That is from the King ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.217)

you are to have Justice from us . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.218)

<font> Lord Anderson </font> . The Law is , if the Matter be proved to
the Jury , they must find guilty ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.219)

for <font> Cobham </font> 's Accusation is not only against you ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.220)

there are other things sufficient . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.221)

<font> Lord Cecil </font> . Now that Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font>
is satisfy'd , that <font> Cobham </font> 's Subscription is not
necessary , I pray you , Mr. Attorney , go on .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.222)

<font> Raleigh </font> . Good Mr. Attorney , be patient ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.223)

and give me leave . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.224)

<font> Lord Cecil </font> . An unnecessary Patience is a Hindrance ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.225)

let him go on with his Proofs , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.226)

and then refel them . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.227)

<font> Raleigh </font> . I would answer particularly .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.228)

<font> Lord Cecil </font> . If you would have a Table and Pen and Ink ,
you shall . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.229)

Then Paper and Ink was given him . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.230)

Here the Clerk of the Crown read the Letter , which the Lord <font>
Cobham </font> did write in <font> July </font> , which was to the
effect of his former Examination ; further saying , I have disclos'd
all : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.231)

To accuse any one falsely , were to burden my own Conscience .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.232)

<font> Attorney </font> . Read <font> Cobham </font> 's Confession the
8th of <font> June </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.233)

he saith , He was offer'd Crowns to be in this Action .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.234)

Here <font> Watson </font> 's Additions were read .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.235)

The great Mass of Money from the Count was impossible , <font> &c.
</font> (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.236)

<font> Brook </font> 's Confession read . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.237)

There have Letters passed , saith he , between <font> Cobham </font>
and <font> Aremberg </font> , for a great Sum of Money to assist a
second Action , for the surprizing of his Majesty .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.238)

<font> Attorney </font> . It is not possible it was of Passion ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.239)

for it was in talk before three Men , being severally examined , who
agreed in the Sum to be bestow'd on discontented Persons ; That <font>
Grey </font> should have Crowns , and <font> Raleigh </font> should
have , or Crowns . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.240)

<font> Cobham </font> 's Examination , <font> July </font> 18 .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.241)

If the Money might be procur'd <paren> saith he </paren> then a Man may
give Pensions . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.242)

Being asked if a Pension should not be given to his Brother <font>
Brook </font> , he deny'd it not . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.243)

Lawrency's <font> Examination </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.244)

Within five Days after <font> Aremberg </font> arrived , <font> Cobham
</font> resorted unto him . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.245)

That Night that <font> Cobham </font> went to <font> Aremberg </font>
with <font> Lawrency </font> , <font> Raleigh </font> supped with him .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.246)

<font> Attorney </font> . <font> Raleigh </font> must have his Part of
the Money , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.247)

therefore now he is a Traitor . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.248)

The Crown shall never stand one Year on the Head of the King <paren> my
Master </paren> if a Traitor may not be condemn'd by Circumstances :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.249)

For if A. tells B. and B. tells C. and C. D. <font> &c. </font> you
shall never prove Treason by two Witnesses . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.250)

Raleigh's <font> Examination was read </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.251)

He confesseth <font> Cobham </font> offered him Crowns , which he was
to have for the furtherance of the Peace between <font> England </font>
and <font> Spain </font> ; and that he should have it within three Days
. To which he said , he gave this Answer ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.252)

When I see the Money , I will tell you more : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.253)

For I had thought it had been one of his ordinary idle Conceits ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.254)

and therefore made no Account thereof . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,219.255)

{COM:insert_helsinki_sample_2}

<P_1,223>

<font> Attorney </font> . Well , I will now make it appear to the World
, that there never lived a viler Viper upon the face of the Earth than
thou . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,223.258)

And therewithal he drew a Letter out of his Pocket , saying further ,
My Lords , you shall see this is an Agent that hath writ a Treatise
against the <font> Spaniard </font> , and hath ever so detested him ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,223.259)

this is he that hath spent so much Money against him in Service ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,223.260)

and yet you shall all see whether his Heart be not wholly <font>
Spanish </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,223.261)

The Lord <font> Cobham </font> , who of his own Nature was a good and
honourable Gentleman , till overtaken by this Wretch , now finding his
Conscience heavily burdened with some Courses which the Subtilty of
this Traitor had drawn him into ; my Lords , he <P_1,224> could be at
no rest with himself , nor quiet in $his thoughts , until he was eased
of that heavy Weight : out of which Passion of his Mind , and discharge
of his Duty to his Prince , and his Conscience to God , taking it upon
his Salvation that he wrote nothing but the Truth , with his own Hands
he wrote this Letter . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.262)

Now , Sir , you shall see whether you had Intelligence with <font>
Cobham </font> , within four days before he came to the <font> Tower
</font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.263)

If he be wholly <font> Spanish </font> , that desired a Pension of l. a
Year from <font> Spain </font> , that <font> Spain </font> by him might
have Intelligence , then <font> Raleigh </font> is a Traitor :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.264)

He hath taken an Apple , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.265)

and pinned a Letter unto it , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.266)

and threw it into my Lord <font> Cobham </font> 's Window ; the
Contents whereof were this , <font> It is doubtful whether we shall be
proceeded with or no , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.267)

perhaps you shall not be tried </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.268)

This was to get a Retractation . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.269)

Oh ! It was <font> Adam </font> 's Apple , whereby the Devil did
deceive him . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.270)

Further , he wrote thus , <font> Do not as my Lord of </font> Essex
<font> did </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.271)

<font> take heed of a Preacher </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.272)

<font> for by his Persuasion he confessed , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.273)

and made himself guilty </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.274)

I doubt not but this day God shall have as great a Conquest by this
Traitor , and the Son of God shall be as much glorified , as when it
was said , <font> Vicisti , Galilaee </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.275)

you know my Meaning . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.276)

What tho' <font> Cobham </font> retracted , yet he could not rest nor
sleep till he confirmed it again . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.277)

If this be not enough to prove him a Traitor , the King my Master shall
not live three Years to an End . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.278)

<font> Nota </font> , Here Mr. Attorney produced the Lord <font> Cobham
</font> 's Letters , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.279)

and as he read it , inserted some Speeches . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.280)

' I have thought fit to set down this to my Lords , wherein I protest
on my Soul to write nothing but the Truth . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.281)

I am now come near the period of my time , wherefore I confess the
whole Truth before God and his Angels . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.282)

<font> Raleigh </font> , four days before I came from the <font> Tower
</font> , caused an Apple <paren> <font> Eve </font> 's <font> Apple
</font> </paren> to be thrown at my Chamber-Window ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.283)

the effect of it was , to intreat me to right the Wrong that I had done
him , in saying , <font> that I should have come home by Jersey </font>
; which under my hand to him I have retracted .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.284)

His first Letter I answered not , which was thrown in the same manner ;
wherein he prayed me to write him a Letter , which I did .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.285)

He sent me word , that the Judges met at Mr. Attorney's House , and
that there was good hope the Proceedings against us should be stayed :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.286)

He sent me another time a little Tobacco . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.287)

At <font> Aremberg </font> 's coming , <font> Raleigh </font> was to
have procured a Pension of fifteen hundred Pounds a Year , for which he
promised , that no Action should be against <font> Spain </font> , the
<font> Low-Countries </font> , or the <font> Indies </font> , but he
would give knowledge before-hand . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.288)

He told me , the States had Audience with the King .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.289)

<paren> Attorney , <font> Ah ! Is not this a </font> Spanish <font>
Heart in an </font> English <font> Body ? </paren> </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.290)

' He hath been the original Cause of my Ruin ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.291)

for I had no dealing with <font> Aremberg </font> , but by his
Instigation . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.292)

He hath also been the cause of my Discontentment ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.293)

he advised me , not to be overtaken with Preachers , as <font> Essex
</font> was ; and that the King would better allow of a constant Denial
, than to accuse any . ' (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.294)

<font> Attorney </font> . Oh damnable Atheist !
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.295)

He hath learned some Text of Scripture to serve his own purpose , but
falsely alledg'd . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.296)

He counsels him not to be counseled by Preachers , as <font> Essex
</font> was : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.297)

He died the Child of God , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.298)

God honoured him at his Death ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.299)

thou wast by when he died : <font> Et Lupus & turpes instant
morientibus Ursae </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.300)

He died indeed for his Offence . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.301)

The King himself spake these Words ; <font> He that shall say </font> ,
Essex <font> died not for Treason , is punishable </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.302)

<font> Raleigh </font> . You have heard a strange Tale of a strange Man
. (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.303)

Now he thinks , he hath Matter enough to destroy me ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.304)

but the King and all of you shall witness , by our Deaths , which of us
was the Ruin of the other . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.305)

I bid a poor Fellow throw in the Letter at his Window , written to this
purpose ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.306)

<font> You know you have undone me , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.307)

now write three lines to justify me </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.308)

In this I will die , that he hath done me wrong :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.309)

Why did not he acquaint him with my Dispositions ?
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.310)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> But what say you now of the Letter , and
the Pension of l. <font> per annum ? </font> (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.311)

<font> Raleigh </font> . I say , that <font> Cobham </font> is a base ,
dishonourable , poor Soul . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.312)

<font> Attorney </font> . Is he base ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.313)

I return it into thy Throat on his behalf : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.314)

But for thee , he had been a good Subject . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.315)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> I perceive you are not so clear a Man , as
you have protested all this while ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.316)

for you should have discovered these Matters to the King .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.317)

<font> Nota </font> , Here <font> Raleigh </font> pulled a Letter out
of his Pocket , which the Lord <font> Cobham </font> had written to him
, (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.318)

and desired my Lord <font> Cecil </font> to read it , because he only
knew his Hand ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.319)

the effect of it was as follows : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.320)

<font> Cobham </font> 's <font> Letter of Justification to </font>
Raleigh . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.321)

' Seeing myself so near my End , for the discharge of my own Conscience
, and freeing myself from your Blood , which else will cry Vengeance
against me ; I protest upon my Salvation I never practised with <font>
Spain </font> by your Procurement ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.322)

God so comfort me in this my Affliction , as you are a true Subject ,
for any thing that I know . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.323)

I will say as <font> Daniel </font> , <font> Purus sum a sanguine hujus
</font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.324)

So God have mercy upon my Soul , as I know no Treason by you . '
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.325)

<font> Raleigh </font> . Now I wonder how many Souls this Man hath !
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.326)

He damns one in this Letter , and another in that .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.327)

Here was much ado : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.328)

Mr. <font> Attorney </font> alledged , that his last Letter was
politickly and cunningly urged from the Lord <font> Cobham </font> ,
and that first was simply the Truth ; and that lest it should seem
doubtful that the first Letter was drawn from my Lord <font> Cobham
</font> by promise of Mercy , or hope of Favour , the Lord Chief
Justice willed that the Jury might herein be satisfied . Whereupon the
Earl of <font> Devonshire </font> delivered , that the same was meet
voluntary , and not extracted from the Lord <font> Cobham </font> upon
any Hopes or promise of Pardon . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.329)

<font> Nota </font> , This was the last Evidence : whereupon a Marshal
was sworn to keep the Jury private . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.330)

The Jury departed , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.331)

and staid not a quarter of an hour , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.332)

but returned , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.333)

and gave their Verdict , Guilty . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,224.334)

<P_1,225>

<font> Serj. Heale </font> demanded Judgment against the Prisoner .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.336)

<font> Clerk of the Crown </font> . Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> ,
Thou hast been indicted , arraigned , and pleaded Not Guilty , for all
these several Treasons , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.337)

and for Trial thereof , hast put thy self upon thy Country ; which
Country are these , who have found thee Guilty .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.338)

What canst thou say for thy self , why Judgment and Execution of Death
should not pass against thee ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.339)

<font> Raleigh </font> . My Lords , the Jury have found me Guilty :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.340)

They just do as they are directed . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.341)

I can say nothing why Judgment should not proceed .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.342)

You see whereof <font> Cobham </font> hath accused me :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.343)

You remember his Protestations , that I was never Guilty .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.344)

I desire the King should know of the Wrongs done unto me since I came
hither . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.345)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> You have had no Wrong , Sir <font> Walter
</font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.346)

<font> Raleigh </font> . Yes , of Mr. Attorney .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.347)

I desire my Lords to remember three things to the King .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.348)

1 . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.349)

I was accused to be a Practiser with <font> Spain : </font>
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.350)

I never knew that my Lord <font> Cobham </font> meant to go thither ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.351)

I will ask no Mercy at the King's hands , if he will affirm it .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.352)

2 . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.353)

I never knew of the Practice with <font> Arabella </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.354)

3 . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.355)

I never knew of my Lord <font> Cobham </font> 's Practice with <font>
Aremberg </font> , nor of the surprizing Treason .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.356)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> In my Conscience , I am persuaded that
<font> Cobham </font> hath accused you truly .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.357)

You $can $not {TEXT:cannot} deny , but that you were dealt with to have
a Pension to be a Spy for <font> Spain </font> ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.358)

therefore you are not so true to the King as you have protested your
self to be . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.359)

<font> Raleigh </font> . I submit my self to the King's Mercy ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.360)

I know his Mercy is greater than my Offence . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.361)

I recommend my Wife , and Son of tender years , unbrought up , to his
Compassion . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.362)

<font> Ld. Ch. Just. </font> I thought I should never have seen this
Day , to have stood in this Place to give Sentence of Death against you
, because I thought it impossible , that one of so great Parts should
have fallen so grievously . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.363)

God hath bestowed on you many Benefits . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.364)

You had been a Man fit and able to have served the King in good Place .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.365)

You had brought your self into a good State of Living ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.366)

if you had entered into a good Consideration of your Estate , and not
suffered your own Wit to have intrapped your self , you might have
lived in good Comfort . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.367)

It is best for Man not to seek to climb too high , lest he fall : nor
yet to creep too low , lest he be trodden on .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.368)

It was the Poesy of the wisest and greatest Counsellor of our time in
<font> England </font> , <font> In medio spatio mediocria firma
locantur </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.369)

You might have lived well with l. a Year , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.370)

for so I have heard your Revenues to be . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.371)

I know nothing might move you to be discontented ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.372)

but if you had been down , you know Fortune's Wheel , when it is turned
about , riseth again . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.373)

I never heard that the King took away any thing from you , but the
Captainship of the Guard , which he did with very good reason , to have
one of his own Knowledge , whom he might trust , in that Place .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.374)

You have been taken for a wise Man , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.375)

and so have shewed Wit enough this day . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.376)

Again , for Monopolies for Wine , <font> &c. </font> if the King had
said , It is a Matter that offends my People , should I burden them for
your private Good ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.377)

I think you could not well take it hardly , that his Subjects were
eased , tho' by your private Hindrance . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.378)

Two Vices have lodged chiefly in you ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.379)

one is an eager Ambition , the other corrupt Covetousness .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.380)

Ambition , in desiring to be advanced to equal Grace and Favour , as
you have been before-time ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.381)

that Grace you had then , you got not in a Day or Year .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.382)

For your Covetousness , I am sorry to hear that a Gentleman of your
Wealth should become a base Spy for the Enemy , which is the vilest of
all other ; wherein on my Conscience <font> Cobham </font> hath said
true : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.383)

by it you would have increased your Living <font> l. </font> a Year .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.384)

This Covetousness is like a Canker , that eats the Iron Place where it
lives . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.385)

Your Case being thus , let it not grieve you , if I speak a little out
of Zeal , and Love to your Good . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.386)

You have been taxed by the World , with the Defence of the most
heathenish and blasphemous Opinions , which I list not to repeat ,
because Christian Ears $can $not {TEXT:cannot} endure to hear them ,
nor the Authors and Maintainers of them be suffered to live in any
Christian Commonwealth . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.387)

You know what Men said of <font> Harpool </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.388)

You shall do well , before you go out of the World , to give
Satisfaction therein , and not to die with these Imputations on you .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.389)

Let not any Devil persuade you to think there is no Eternity in Heaven
: (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.390)

for if you think thus , you shall find Eternity in Hell-Fire .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.391)

In the first Accusation of my Lord <font> Cobham </font> , I observed
his Manner of speaking ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.392)

I protest before the Living God , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.393)

I am persuaded he spoke nothing but the Truth .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.394)

You wrote , that he should not in any case confess any thing to a
Preacher , telling him an Example of my Lord of <font> Essex </font> ,
that noble Earl that is gone ; who , if he had not been carried away
with others , had lived in Honour to this Day among us :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.395)

He confessed his Offences , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.396)

and obtained Mercy of the Lord ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.397)

for I am verily persuaded in my Heart , he died a worthy Servant of God
. (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.398)

Your Conceit of not confessing any thing , is very inhuman and wicked .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.399)

In this World is the time of confessing , that we may be absolv'd at
the Day of Judgment . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.400)

You have shewed a fearful Sign of denying God , in advising a Man not
to confess the Truth . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.401)

It now comes in my mind , why you may not have your Accuser come face
to face : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.402)

for such an one is easily brought to retract , when he seeth there is
no hope of his own Life . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.403)

It is dangerous that any Traitors should have Access to , or Conference
with one another ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.404)

when they see themselves must die , they will think it best to have
their Fellow live , that he may commit the like Treason again , and so
in some sort seek Revenge . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.405)

Now it resteth to pronounce the Judgment , which I wish you had not
been this day to have received of me : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.406)

For if the Fear of God in you had been answerable to your other great
Parts , you might have lived to have been a singular good Subject .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.407)

I never saw the like Trial , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.408)

and hope I shall never see the like again . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.409)

<font> The Judgment </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.410)

But since you have been found guilty of these horrible Treasons , the
Judgment of this Court is , That you shall be had from hence to the
Place whence you came , there to remain until the day of Execution ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.411)

and from thence you shall be drawn upon a Hurdle thro' the open Streets
to the Place of Execution , there to be hanged and cut down alive ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,225.412)

and <P_1,226> your Body shall be opened , your Heart and Bowels pluck'd
out , and your Privy Members cut off , and thrown into the Fire before
your Eyes , then your Head to be stricken off from your Body ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.413)

and your Body shall be divided into four Quarters , to be disposed of
at the King's Pleasure : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.414)

And God have Mercy upon your Soul . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.415)

Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> besought the Earl of <font>
Devonshire </font> , and the Lords , to be Suitors on his behalf to the
King ; that in regard of Places of Estimation he did bear in his
Majesty's time , the Rigour of his Judgment might be qualified , and
his Death be honourable , and not ignominious . Wherein after they had
promised him to do their utmost Endeavours , the Court rose , and the
Prisoner was carried up again to the Castle . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.416)

Fourteen Years Sir <font> Walter </font> had spent in the <font> Tower
</font> , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.417)

and being weary of a State wherein he could be only serviceable by his
Pen , but not in a Capacity of serving and enriching his Country any
other way , <paren> of whom Prince <font> Henry </font> would say ,
that no King but his Father would keep such a Bird in a Cage ; </paren>
at length he fell upon an Enterprize of a Golden Mine in <font> Guiana
</font> in the Southern Parts of <font> America </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.418)

The Proposition of this was presented and recommended to his Majesty by
Sir <font> Ralph Winwood </font> Secretary of State , as a Matter not
in the Air , or Speculative , but Real , and of Certainty ; for that
Sir <font> Walter </font> had seen of the Ore of the Mine , and tried
the Richness of it , having gotten a Pound from thence by the hands of
Captain <font> Kemish </font> 's ancient Servant .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.419)

Sir <font> Ralph Winwood </font> 's Recommendation of the Design , and
the earnest Sollicitations for his Enlargement by the Queen and Prince
, and the <font> French </font> Leiger , <paren> with much affection to
his Deserts , not without some politick Designs on <font> Spain </font>
together with the Asseverations of Sir <font> Walter </font> of the
Truth of the Mine , work'd upon his Majesty , who thought himself in
honour obliged , nay , in a manner ingaged <paren> as the Declaration
which he published after the Death of Sir <font> Walter </font> tells
us </paren> not to deny unto his People the Adventure and Hope of so
great Riches to be sought and atchieved at the Charge of Voluntiers ,
especially since it stood so well with his Majesty's Politick and
Magnanimous Courses in these his flourishing times of Peace , to
nourish and encourage noble and generous Enterprizes for Plantations ,
Discoveries , and opening of a New Trade . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.420)

Count <font> Gondomar </font> <paren> an active and subtle Instrument
to serve his Master's ends </paren> took alarm at this ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.421)

and represented to his Majesty the Enterprize of Sir <font> Walter
</font> to be hostile and predatory , intending a breach of the Peace
between the two Crowns . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.422)

But notwithstanding , Power at last is granted to Sir <font> Walter
</font> to set forth Ships and Men for that Service .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.423)

However , the King commanded him , upon pain of his Allegiance , to
give him under his hand <paren> promising , on the Word of a King , to
keep it secret </paren> the Number of his Men , the Burden and Strength
of his Ships , together with the Country and River which he was to
enter : Which being done accordingly by Sir <font> Walter </font> ,
that very original Paper was found in the <font> Spanish </font>
Governor's Closet at <font> St. Thomas </font> 's .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.424)

So active were the <font> Spanish </font> Ministers , that
Advertisement was sent to <font> Spain </font> , and thence to the
<font> Indies </font> , before the <font> English </font> Fleet got out
of the <font> Thames </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.425)

But as we have just Cause to admire the more than usual Activity of the
<font> Spanish </font> Agents , so may we wonder no less at the
Miscarriage of his Majesty's present Ministers , who , notwithstanding
he had pass'd his Royal Word to the {COM:missing_material} , yet they
did help Count <font> Gondomar </font> to that very Paper ; so much
both King and Court were at <font> Gondomar </font> 's Service .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.426)

A Commission indeed is granted , but by <font> Gondomar </font> 's
means is limited , That the Fleet should commit no Outrages upon the
King of <font> Spain </font> 's Subjects by Land , unless they began
first . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.427)

With this Commission , and the Company of several brave Captains , and
other Knights and Gentlemen of great Blood and Worth , he set out in
quest of the Mine , with a compleat Fleet of twelve Sail ; letting fall
a Speech at his Departure , which was rather an Argument of his Wit
than his Wisdom ; <font> That the whole History of the World had not
the like Precedent , of a King's Prisoner to purchase Freedom , and his
Bosom-Favourite to have the Halter , but in Scripture </font> ,
Mordecai <font> and </font> Haman ; meaning himself and the Earl of
<font> Somerset </font> . To which he was told , that the King replied
, <font> He might die in that Deceit </font> . Which he did ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.428)

for <font> Somerset </font> was saved . Of whom was made good what Sir
<font> Walter </font> used to say of Favourites , That Minions were not
so happy as vulgar Judgments thought them , being frequently commanded
to uncomely , and sometimes to unnatural Employments .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.429)

On the 17th of <font> November </font> , he arrived at <font> Guiana
</font> , having been much retarded by contrary Winds , and having lost
several of his Voluntiers in the Voyage , by a violent Calenture .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.430)

When Sir <font> Walter </font> was returned to <font> Plymouth </font>
, Sir Lewis <font> Steukly </font> , Vice-Admiral of the County of
<font> Devon </font> , seized him , being commissioned by his Majesty
to bring him to <font> London </font> ; which could add no Terror to a
Person who could expect nothing less . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.431)

When he was brought to <font> London </font> , he was permitted the
confinement of his own House , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.432)

But finding the Court wholly guided by <font> Gondomar </font> , he
could hope for little Mercy ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.433)

therefore he wisely contriv'd the design of an Escape into <font>
France </font> ; which Sir <font> Lewis Steukly </font> betrayed .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.434)

The Voyage proving unsuccessful , King <font> James </font> was willing
to sacrifice the Life of Sir <font> Walter </font> to the advancement
of Peace with <font> Spain </font> , but not upon such grounds as the
Embassador had designed : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.435)

for he desired a Judgment upon the pretended Breach of Peace , that by
this Occasion he might slily gain from the <font> English </font> an
Acknowledgment of his Master's Right in those Places , and hereafter
both stop their Mouths , and quench their Heat and Valour .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.436)

Hence they resolv'd to proceed against him upon his old Condemnation ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.437)

for having had Experience upon a former Trial , they cared not to run
the hazard of a second . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,226.438)

Accordingly upon <font> Wednesday </font> , the 28th of <font> October
</font> , <font> Anno Dom. </font> 1618 , the Lieutenant of the <font>
Tower </font> , in pursuance of a Writ of <font> Habeas Corpus </font>
to him directed , brought Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> from the
<font> Tower </font> to the <font> Kings-Bench </font> Bar at <font>
Westminster </font> . Where <P_1,227> Mr. Attorney spake in effect thus
: (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.439)

My Lords , Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> , the Prisoner at the Bar
, was , fifteen Years since , convicted of High Treason , by him
committed against the Person of his Majesty , and the State of this
Kingdom , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.440)

and then received the Judgment of Death to be hang'd , drawn , and
quartered : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.441)

His Majesty , of his abundant Grace , hath been pleased to shew Mercy
upon $him {TEXT:his} 'till now , that Justice calls unto him for
Execution . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.442)

Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> hath been a Statesman , and a Man ,
who , in regard of his Parts and Quality , is to be pitied :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.443)

He hath been as a Star , at which the World hath gazed ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.444)

but Stars may fall , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.445)

nay , they must fall , when they trouble the Sphere wherein they abide
. (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.446)

It is therefore His Majesty's Pleasure now to call for Execution of the
former Judgment , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.447)

and I require Order for the same . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.448)

Then Mr. <font> Fanshaw </font> , Clerk of the Crown , read the Record
of the Conviction and Judgment , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.449)

and called to the Prisoner , to hold up his Hand , which he did .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.450)

Then was the Prisoner ask'd , What he could say for himself , why
Execution should not be awarded against him ? (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.451)

Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.452)

My Lords , my Voice is grown weak , by reason of my late Sickness , and
an Ague , which I now have ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.453)

for I was even now brought hither out of it . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.454)

<font> Lord Chief Justice </font> . Sir <font> Walter </font> , your
Voice is audible enough . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.455)

Sir <font> Walter </font> . Then , my Lord , all that I can say is this
; That the Judgment which I received to die so long since , I hope it
$can $not {TEXT:cannot} now be strain'd to take away my Life ; for that
since it was His Majesty's Pleasure to grant me a Commission to proceed
in a Voyage beyond the Seas , where I had Power , as Marshal , on the
Life and Death of others , so , under Favour , I presume I am
discharged of that Judgment : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.456)

For , by that Commission I departed the Land ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.457)

and undertook a Journey , to honour my Sovereign , and to enrich his
Kingdom with Gold , of the Ore whereof this Hand hath found and taken
in <font> Guiana </font> ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.458)

but the Voyage , notwithstanding my Endeavour , had no other Success ,
but what was fatal to me , the Loss of my Son , and wasting of my whole
Estate . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.459)

<font> Being about to proceed , he was by the Lord Chief Justice
interrupted , who spake : </font> (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.460)

<font> Lord Chief Justice </font> . Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> ,
this which you now speak touching your Voyage , is not to the purpose ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.461)

neither can your Commission any way help you ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.462)

by that you are not pardon'd ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.463)

for by words of a special Nature , in Case of Treason , you must be
pardon'd , and not implicitly . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.464)

There was no Word tending to Pardon in all your Commission ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.465)

and therefore you must say something else to the purpose ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.466)

otherwise , we must proceed to give Execution .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.467)

Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> . If your Opinion be so , my Lord , I
am satisfied , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.468)

and so put myself on the Mercy of the King , who I know is gracious ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.469)

and , under Favour , I must say I hope he will be pleased to take
Commiseration upon me . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.470)

As concerning that Judgment which is so long past , and which , I think
, here are some could witness , nay , his Majesty was of Opinion , that
I had hard Measure therein . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.471)

<font> Lord Chief Justice </font> . Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> ,
you must remember yourself ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.472)

you had an honourable Trial , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.473)

and so were justly convicted ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.474)

and it were Wisdom in you now to submit yourself , and to confess your
Offence did justly draw upon you that Judgment which was then
pronounced against you ; wherefore I pray you attend what I shall say
unto you . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.475)

I am here called to grant Execution upon the Judgment given you Fifteen
Years since ; all which Time you have been as a dead Man in the Law ,
and might at any Minute been cut off , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.476)

but the King in Mercy spared you . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.477)

You might think it heavy , if this were done in cold Blood , to call
you to Execution , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.478)

but it is not so ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.479)

for new Offences have stirred up his Majesty's Justice , to remember to
revive what the Law hath formerly cast upon you .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.480)

I know you have been valiant and wise , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.481)

and I doubt not but you retain both these Virtues ,
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.482)

for now you shall have Occasion to use them . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.483)

Your Faith hath heretofore been questioned , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.484)

but I am resolved you are a good Christian ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.485)

for your Book , which is an admirable Work , doth testify as much .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.486)

I would give you Counsel , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.487)

but I know you can apply unto yourself far better than I am able to
give you ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.488)

yet will I , with the good Neighbour in the Gospel , who finding one in
the Way , wounded and distress'd , pour'd Oil into his Wounds , and
refresh'd him , I give unto you the Oil of Comfort ; though , in
respect that I am a Minster of the Law , mixed with Vinegar .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.489)

Sorrow will not avail you in some kind : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.490)

For , were you pain'd , Sorrow would not ease you ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.491)

were you afflicted , Sorrow would not relieve you ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.492)

were you tormented , Sorrow could not content you ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.493)

and yet , the Sorrow for your Sins would be an everlasting Comfort to
you . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.494)

You must do as that Valiant Captain did , who perceiving himself in
danger , said , in defiance of Death ; <font> Death , thou expectest me
, (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.495)

but maugre thy Spite , I expect thee </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.496)

Fear not Death too much , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.497)

nor fear not Death too little : (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.498)

not too much , lest you fail in your Hopes ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.499)

not too little , lest you die presumptuously .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.500)

And here I must conclude with my Prayers to God for it ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.501)

and that he would have mercy on your Soul . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.502)

And so the Lord Chief Justice ended with these Words ; <font> Execution
is granted . </font> (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.503)

Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font> . My Lord , I desire thus much Favour
, that I may not be cut off suddenly ; (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.504)

for I have something to do in Discharge of my Conscience , and
something to satisfy his Majesty in , something to satisfy the World in
: (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.505)

and I desire I may be heard at the Day of my Death .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.506)

And here I take God to be my Judge , before whom I shall shortly appear
, I was never disloyal to his Majesty , which I will justify where I
shall not fear the Face of any King on Earth :
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.507)

And so I beseech you all to pray for me . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.508)

The Court having awarded Execution , the Sheriffs of <font> Middlesex
</font> were commanded for that Purpose to take him into their Custody
, who presently carried him to the <font> Gatehouse </font> .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,227.509)

But all Persons have wonder'd how that old Sentence , that had lain
dormant sixteen years and upwards against Sir <font> Walter </font> ,
could have been made use of to take off his Head afterwards :
Considering the then Lord Chancellor <font> Verulam </font> told him
positively , <paren> as Sir <font> Walter </font> was acquainting
<P_1,228> him with that Proffer of Sir <font> William St. Geon </font>
for a Pecuniary Pardon , which might have been obtained for a less Sum
than his <font> Guiana </font> Preparations amounted to </paren> in
these words : ' Sir , the Knee-Timber of your Voyage is Money ;
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,228.510)

spare your Purse in this Particular , (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,228.511)

for upon my life you have a sufficient Pardon for all that is passed
already , the King having , under his Broad-Seal , made you Admiral of
your Fleet , and given you power of the Martial Law over the Officers
and Soldiers . ' (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,228.512)

It was the Opinion of most Lawyers , That he , who by his Majesty's
Patent had power of Life and Death over the King's Liege People ,
should be esteemed or judged <font> Rectus in Curia </font> , and free
from all old Convictions . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,228.513)

But Sir <font> Walter </font> hath made the best Defence for his <font>
Guiana </font> Actions , in his Letter to his Majesty , which is here
inserted . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,228.514)

{COM:letter_omitted}

But this Apology , tho' never so persuasive , could not satisfy <font>
Gondomar </font> 's Rage , who was resolv'd to sacrifice the only
Favourite left of Queen <font> Elizabeth </font> , to the <font>
Spanish </font> Interest : And who , as <font> Osburn </font> remarks ,
was the only Person of <font> Essex </font> 's Enemies that died
lamented ; and the only Man of Note left alive , that had help'd to
beat the <font> Spaniard </font> in the Year 1588 .
(RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,228.516)

The Night before the Execution , Sir <font> Walter Raleigh </font>
wrote the following Letters , the one to the <font> King </font> , the
other to his <font> Wife </font> . (RALEIGH-E2-P1,1,228.517)
