At. Gen. My Lord, I did go to the Tower to him, and was with him, and did examine him. My Lord, here be those that will prove it, that himself did confess, and said it was true; and he took time himself to inform himself, and had (as he said) other mens examinations, and informations by; and he did add and amend, and gave it under his hand. This is the truth, after several examinations. And he had papers by him, and did correct them himself, and brought them under his own hand written by himself, these very things. And my Lord, ask him whether he did not write these things first with his own hand, and bring them to the Committee of Examinations.

L. Pres. Whether did you not bring in your own examinations, and what you could inform, written by your own hands?
C. Pot. My Lord, that is my hand, and what is there I must own as mine. But I hope you will let me distinguish between what I delivered then, as I heard it and thought, and what I deliver positively. I do say it is true now, as I have heard.
