BEDFORD.
Pardon me, Lords, for I must needs depart;
Their proofs are great, but greater is my heart.
[Exit Bedford.]
NORFOLK.
My friends, take heed of that which you have said.
Your souls must answer what your tongues reports:
Therefore, take heed, be wary what you do.
SECOND WITNESS.
My Lord, we speak no more but truth.
NORFOLK.
Let them
Depart.—My Lord of Winchester, let these men
Be close kept until the day of trial.
GARDINER.
They shall, my Lord: ho, take in these two men.
[Exit witnesses.]
My Lords, if Cromwell have a public trial,
That which we do is void by his denial;
You know the king will credit none but him.
NORFOLK.
Tis true, he rules the King even as he pleases.
SUFFOLK.
How shall we do for to attach him, then?
