At. Gen. My Lord, he hath heard his Charge in particular; and those things, which if he be ingenuous to himself, and his own Conscience, he cannot but know we shall prove them; and before we prove them, I desire to hear, whether or no he will confess them.
Mr. Love. I hope this Court will not hearken to the insinuations of instruments of State, who are well rewarded for their eager prosecution of men in such a condition as I am in; it is an easy matter, through flourishes of Law, and strains of wit, to stir up the minds of my Judges against me.

L. Pres. You have heard the Matter opened to you, which you cannot in any Christian, or godly Conscience, or Understanding, but acknowledge, That such Secrets as these you were privy to, and came to your hand; you cannot, before God and man, do better then to confess these, which you know by the urging of them upon you, are come to our knowledge.
