Raleigh—I am not named in all this: there is a law of two sorts of Accusers; one of his own knowledge, another by hear-say.
Earl of Suffolk—See the Case of Arnold.
Lord Chief-Justice—It is the Case of sir Will. Thomas, and sir Nicholas Arnold.
Raleigh—If this may be, you will have any man's life in a week.
Attorney—Raleigh saith, that Cobham was in a passion when he said so. Would he tell his brother anything of malice against Raleigh, whom he loved as his life?
Raleigh—Brook never loved me; until his brother had accused me, he said nothing.
Lord Cecil—We have heard nothing that might lead us to think that Brook accused you, he was only in the surprizing Treason: for by accusing you he should accuse his brother.
Raleigh—He doth not much care for that.
Lord Cecil—I must judge the best. The accusation of his brother was not voluntary; he pared everything as much as he could to save his brother.
