laughed for Mr. Lessells was by who was said to be like him and Saintravy being rounded in the ear smiled and said That he was sorry to be mistaken and so made it the worse and the wound wider to those that were told the meaning However my respects and service appeared to Sir VValters Kinsman which approves me without spleen Page 9. That Cook the Atturney he saies be●ng retired from the Bar wh●lst Sir Walter was sentenced ●or Treason to●d his man that he accused him but of Misprision And swears Upon the word of a Chr●stian Sir Edward Cook's own mouth told him so since Cook that had both charged him home with direct Treason indeed very unseemly and often called him Traito● thou Traitor Raleigh to his face should but turn his back from the Bar and in an instant after Sentence mince his Treason to misprision is most unlikely And to tell it since to one without a name But we see how he swears as he is a Christian perhaps he is none No body who will give him credit Having he saies done with his Treason he descends to his Travells 14 years after which he accounts in my H●story to be Foli● 459. and as yet no other faults to be found Page 10. That King James he saies forbad Sir Walter's Book for some passages in it which offended the Span●a●d a far-fetch'd reason and for being t●o plain with the faults of Princes I answer Certainly King Iames and all other Princes had cause of complaint For his whole Book sets out the Eastern Monarchs with much glory exclaims against Chr●stian Princes as most inhuman tracing all the English Soveraigns from the Conquest esp●cially Henry the Eighth whom for his Daughters honour Queen El●zabeth Sr. VValter might have spared from gall and bitternesse she raising him from nothing who rewards her with ignomy of her Father Nor could he love the child whose Sire he hate● and King Ia●es perhaps might observe more to represse the wickednesse of such a person who under pretence of t●king a vice in the Father intended cunningly to stain the whole Race He covertly leaving the Reader in great doubt of Queen Elizabeths merit whom he had reason to set out not in silence whether in fear or in fraud I judge not He saies That the Lord Chancel●or Verulam told Sir Walter that his Commission from the King under the great Seal of England to be Generall of his Forces by Land and Sea and Marshall-Law over his people was as good a pard●n for all offences as the Law of England could make him It was without example that the Lord Chancellor of England should give his opinion and counsell against the King and in case of Treason too and tell it to the Traytor himselfe convict after Examination Tryall Verdict Sentence and but Repr●eved No Sir no man of judgment will give you credit a scandall upon his discretion if not more his alleagance If you be mistaken amend it in your Reply I expect it But I answer how oft this was urged by Sir Walter and the other Argument Singularis Testis I refer to the Relation of his Tryall wherein I say again as other Authors professe He tired the Court and Iury with impertinencies as to those two points especially And in earnest I have collected from the most even from that Manuscript intituled Sir Walter Raleigh's own writing and from the best Records that I could meet with besides the Reports of divers hearers● and all conclude and expresly mention except that of his own that he tired the Court with impertinencies as to the matter His Divinity Law and Reason were answered and over-ruled by the Judges opinion which is the certain rule to all Iuries as to matter of Law And yet this my Libeller fathers all upon me as if I only meant to make him g●ilty He saies That Raleigh and Kernish did truly believe in the Mine not with Chymicall tricks as this trifling lyar saies he would intimate The Frenchman saies none but a Bastard-Gentleman gives a True Gentleman the lie But Sir to returne your lye with a truth I shall say more concerning your chymicall Mine Mr. Cary Raleigh your voucher writ a fawning clawing Epistle to a worthy Gentleman Mr. Iames Howel to recollect what he had writ of Sir Walter To which he replies and not to recant but to rechant what he had said before May 1645 For he again calls it an ayrie supposititious Mine which turned to reall beliefe in his undertakers of that voyage to their undoing And ●ells Mr. Cary that Sir Walters onely son VValter Raleigh at the storming of Saint Tome said as much in effect Come on my noble hearts said he this is the Mine we come for and they who think there is any other are fools His own Father was none Nay you shall find Sir Robert Baker his Historicall Narrations say so too and King Iames his Declaration makes it evident to be but a deceipt But I find what this Libeller would have of me as was bestowed by that ingenuous Author upon Mr. Cary who advised him to let Sir VValter rest quietly in his grave that his vertues may live in you Mr. Cary as he to abuse him saies they do no doubt and ever since to this counsell it seems he hath been silent at least in publique and serviceable to Mr. Howell As no doubt this Libeller also may in time become so serviceable to me Page 11 12. And for all his Apologie and pretences in this whole Page filled up with scurrilous language I mean not now to meddle with any further My duty to the truth was to relate the narrative of the Treason sufficiently proved and all those passages in reference to that and Kemi●h death and my observations upon all necessarily conducing I refer the Reader to my History being too too large to insert here again He is troubled That I should say that Sir Walter had but a mean estate which he meant to make up by his voyage And saies That he may thank King James for the meannesse of his fortune who took away Sherborn from him but when King James came into England Raleigh was Lord VVarden of the Stanneries c. all which he lost for his supposed Treason He may thank King Iames he saies for the meannesse of his Fortune and reckons up his Offices under Queen Elizabeth not a foot of Land his Father left him All which he got with your favour by free grace of Queen Elizabeth and might have kept that and deserved more King Iames was bountifull which himselfe lost and forfeited for unfaithfulnesse to his Soveraign Lord and King her S●ccessor and thereby had left him but a mean fortune which he designed to advance by his Voyage And were he innocently executed why was Mr. Ca●y Raleigh's pretensious and claimes in Parl a●ent in reference to Sir VValter laid aside before himselfe was cleer'd of taint in blood and so lost his

claim by Parliament which concludes also Sir VValter guilty without dispute when Mr. Cary had all advantage of his friends by Parliament to help him to it Page 13. To confirm what I have said They had matter e●ough to take away his life ●n this his last businesse since his first Tryall Sir VValter was bound not to infest the main Land of the West-Indies and so he promised the King who assured Gondoma● so much and to satisfie their jealousie Sir VValters Letter if any such might be sent to Sa●nt Tome for his security which therefore aggravates the fault of Sir VValter Besides his biting jests upon all not sparing his dread Soveraign for admitting them the more true the wider skar Many such of his like the wound of a chewed bullet the ruggednesse makes the hurt incurable And besides that which the Frenchman Manwa●i●g confessed of him to the King as he reported since to Mr B. ● a Gentleman of wo●th who will justifie his report to be so foul so treasonable against King Iames that may satisfie any good subject he deserved death Not that I take upon me to reveal it being unwillingly enforced to speak thus much against the dead who hath paid the debt due for his offences here and no doubt enjoyes his pardon and forgivnesse hereafter with my Christian zeal and charitable affection for ever Page 14. And now my Libeller skips back again to Folio 365. and to pick out some scandalous passage there he meets with the Earle of Pembrok and his Brother Montgomery whom I did but mention and that justly That they were men of considerable Descents though of no great fame in their Merits And he concludes That my passage in the main parts of i● is true and cannot be denyed Yet he saies That I confesse the King was kinde to Montgomery ●hich he fetcheth out of Folio 592. Not worth the turning over so many leaves to prove his false Quotations and matter Page 15. Then in a moment He takes notice of the poisoning of Overbury which is in the beginning of the History of King Iames I list not search the folio he tells me not where Overbury and Essex's Wife that I extenuate that foul murther not with any exception to the truth of the story but with his own selfe-pride to make us believe he knew somewhat of the matter and repeats only what I have said But he regrets upon Sommerset for begging from Raleigh Sherborn which he got by begging from an other before Indeed Sherborn sticks in his stomack It is the Note of another not of me That the seat of Sherborn had been the successive Inheritance of Traitors Our Libeller hath a mighty minde to it he may in time no doubt deserve it and more upon the same score As for Overburies Character of pride c. Thrasonicall c. which he denies let him read Sommersets Arraignment where Sir Francis Bacon sets him out in the same termes and mentioneth the most of all my matter and what I said of Overburies pride Pag. 16. Haply saies my Libeller Overbury might have some tincture of pride in him as indeed who would not c. You seem to be a pert proud dandy-prat indeed But ah out upon his simplicity That haply saith he Overbury had threatned this Gentleman in some illegall pro●ects of which they say he had alwaies store which he offered to Somerset and therefore he is not only contented his Body should have been poysoned whilst alive but he will as far as in him lies if any would believe such a fellow murther his fame too after his death I protest religiously that I read this his simple scandal over and over again ere I could imagine the man meant it by me so much I professe Christianity so little I am guilty of projects and was so young then and unacquainted that I scarce knew Overburie's face Surely he means another his best friend the grand Court-projector and so stiled I never was any Page 17 18. He hunts counter hook here and fetches a freak out of Folio 429. A scandall he calls it upon the Lord Kensington c. for imitating the Earle of Carlile in his fine cloths and calling him the naturall son of the Earle of Warwick And so he ravells Into the reason of his Birth and Parents which I had no minde to meddle with but for satisfying any mistakes therein I stiled him the Naturall Son Let him consult the reason why the Parliament of Hen. 8. stiled the Princesse Elizabeth Naturall Daughter to King Henry the eight The rest not worth the answer nor the foolish flirt that followes Then he falls again upon my mistakes from whence would you think Out of my Preface where he finds That King Henry the eighth was a Lutheran when he lived saies he and died a Papist And to prove it He cites the Execution of More and Fisher for being Papists and multitudes more for not subscribing to the six Articles which were rank Popery So then he concludes for me That Henry the eighth had been a Papist and a Puritan and as Sir Walter saies in his Preface died an Atheist And indeed VVill Somers the Jeaster on a suddain very sad told them the reason That he had been at Tiburn where Priests were hanged for being Papists and some others at Smithfield burnt for Protestants but was resolved to save himselfe and no way better than to be of King Henrie's Religion which is said he none at all Page 19. He tells us saies he Folio 487. that all our Marriages with Spain have been unfortunate to this Crown and then ravells into the story of the Black Prince as if he had Married in Spain this is his own inference not mine No lesse then 487. Fol. from the Preface where we left him it seemes I must skip thither too I speaking of Prince Charles his Treaty with Spain However said I the ill successe of our former marriages and medlings with that Nation being malignant to us witnesse the Black Prince his Voyage into Spain to settle Don Piedro c his body either corrupted by the aire or by their Drugs impoysoned What is this to any Marriage But then indeed I instance our ill successe in Prince A●thurs suddain death with Katharine of Austr●a and Mary of England with Philip of Spain Now said I to paralell those abroad with others at home to our own Subjects the first with Edward the fourth the last with Henry the eighth from them there proceeded two Queens Elizabeths as never could produce greater examples of happinesse to England But our Libeller hath a malice to our French Matches and comparatively gores them through the Spanish sides It may be so both have been bad enough what 's that to me Yet in this I desire to satisfie another not you Page 20. My mistakes That the Duke and Yelverton had no communication in the Tower And why Because Belfore that said so
