M. MY lord, at my first arrival at Malaga, three Irishmen went to the bishop's court, to acquaint them that I was a Jew, though they hardly knew my name, or what religion I was of. Your lordship has heard it, I suppose. All the time that I lived at Malaga, they, upon divers occasions, showed themselves my enemies. My friends oftentimes told me that they spoke ill of me behind my back; sometimes saying that I was a Jew, and sometimes an heretic; and that they would play me a trick one day, that I should not carry much money along with me if I left the place; and I find, my lord, that they have accomplished their design.

I. HAVE you had no words about religion? Have you not blasphemed against our holy faith?
M. NO, my lord, I am a better bred man than that. My religion does not permit such things: it is true, that I have had high words about religion when I have been attacked, but not to blaspheme your religion.
