RECORD. Do not you know it is the King's Court?
PEN. I know it to be a Court, and I suppose it to be the King's Court.
RECORD. Do you not know there is Respect due to the Court?
PEN. Yes.
RECORD. Why do you not pay it then?
PEN. I do so.
RECORD. Why do you not pull off your Hat then?
PEN. Because I do not believe that to be any Respect.
RECORD. Well, the Court sets forty Marks a piece upon your Heads, as a Fine for your Contempt of the Court.
PEN. I desire it might be observed, that we came into the Court with our Hats off (that is, taken off) and if they have been put on since, it was by Order from the Bench; and therefore not we, but the Bench should be fined.
