At. Gen. Your Doctrine will not pass here.
Mr. Love. It is Scripture, Sir, and it behoves me to speak, for I am upon my life.
At. Gen. Mr. Potter, speak what you know, and from whom, and I desire there may be no glosses put there, by those, who I am sure, cannot do it. I ask you first of the proceedings, and •ending to Scotland, and back again to England; and what you know of it, and from whom.
C. Pot. My Lord, the Committee, that examined me, knows I was not privy to the first transaction: I did say indeed something of it by hear-say, and I did likewise say, That Mr. Drake told it me; but I ⟨p. 20⟩may err in that particular, possibly M. Drake did not tell me so; for as I apprehend, I said, I did think it did put a necessity upon the King to agree with the Scots; and then having seen some papers, and conferred with that relation others have made, I collected the truth of them, as far as I did know; but now I am upon my oath, let me therefore come to the matter; I spake then many things as I heard, which I cannot affirm upon my oath.
