MY lord, I remember nothing of the accusation, but believe it is false; or if I did not take off my hat, it was because the host was not there. But with respect to kneeling or bowing, I told your lordship I never do; your lordship tries me as a Roman catholic; I am a protestant; I gave a short account of my religion to your lordship at my first coming. Was I a Roman catholic, I should certainly be guilty.
THE answers to both the last accusations were ordered to be recorded.
