Attorney—Let Mr. Serjeant Philips testify whether he heard him say the word or no.
Lord Cecil—I will give my word for sir R. Wroth.
Sir R. Wroth—I will speak as truly as you, Mr. Attorney, for my God, I never spake it.
Lord Chief-Justice—Wherefore should this Book be burnt?
Raleigh—I burned it not.
Serjeant Philips—You presented your friend with it when he was discontented. If it had been before the queen's death, it had been a less matter; but you gave it him presently when he came from the king, which was the time of his discontentment.
Raleigh—Here is a Book supposed to be treasonable; I never read it, commended it, or delivered it, nor urged it.
Attorney—Why, this is cunning.
Raleigh—Every thing that doth make for me is cunning, and every thing that maketh against me is probable.
Attorney—Lord Cobham saith, that Kemish came to him with a letter torn, and did wish him not to be dismayed, for one witness could not hurt him.
