At. Gen. Ly Lord, when he shall come with such speeches, that are nothing to the business in hand! My Lord, he instances in Lilburn's case; you know that debate, it was in relation to a Narration.
Att. Gen. Ly Lord, when he shall come with such speeches, that are nothing to the businesse in hand! My Lord, he instances in Lilburns case; you know that debate, it was in relation to a Narration.
M. Love. Sir, it was the Narration of his doings and sufferings, that he might not be misrepresented to the Court.
At. Gen. You know you are a Minister; and if it be your purpose to spin out time, to think to ingratiate your self to the people, it will not do. My Lord, this is a Court of Justice that proceeds according to the established Laws, and Laws that have been read to him. Mr. Love is a Minister, and had he applied himself to God as he might have done, he need not have been brought hither; if he had not gone that way he did. But my Lord, I desire he may go on to the Charge, and give his answer to it. My Lord, before we have done, we shall have many occasions of discourse between him and I.
