FIRST GENTLEMAN.
Yes, indeed, was I.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
Pray speak what has happened.
FIRST GENTLEMAN.
You may guess quickly what.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
Is he found guilty?
FIRST GENTLEMAN.
Yes, truly is he, and condemned upon’t.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
I am sorry for’t.
FIRST GENTLEMAN.
So are a number more.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
But pray, how passed it?
FIRST GENTLEMAN.
I’ll tell you in a little. The great Duke
Came to the bar, where to his accusations
He pleaded still not guilty and alleged
Many sharp reasons to defeat the law.
The King’s attorney on the contrary
Urged on the examinations, proofs, confessions
Of divers witnesses, which the Duke desired
To have brought viva voce to his face;
At which appeared against him his surveyor,
Sir Gilbert Peck his chancellor, and John Car,
Confessor to him, with that devil monk,
Hopkins, that made this mischief.
SECOND GENTLEMAN.
That was he
That fed him with his prophecies?
