M. Love. Although I am not satisfied as to the foundation and original of this court, yet I refuse not a trial, hoping that tenderness of conscience will appear in you, and clearness in me, and weakness of proof against me. Upon this, I do not refuse a trial, but I will plead, if I may have that which the Law allows me. And according to my weak measure and unskilfulness in the Law, upon the charge read against me, I do apprehend there may be some things objected against the legality of the Indictment, and many things to take it off, both for matter of time, and form, and other things, by a lawyer. Therefore I entreat I may have counsel to be with me, both in my chamber, and here in the court, and then I will plead.

At. Gen. I am not here to make a bargain: but this I will say to him, he hath had so much tenderness and respect, as few men more. He hath had notice of his trial above a fortnight; and my Lord, he hath not been denied counsel.
