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.

M. Love. I beseech your Lordship allow me that favour that you allow to every one you try, that I may not stand under misrepresentations to you, who are my Judges.
L. Pres. Are not we of as much credit as you? and are not we judged Ministers as well as you, and more then you? and I tell you, that which you require, we have already done, and wish you as much happiness as to our brother; and for you to spend time about that which is nothing to the business, it must not be suffered.
