M. MY lord, those whom you reckon my countrymen are the worst enemies I have: I deny them for countrymen; they are Irishmen: it is true that Ireland belongs to the crown of England; but these people have deserted from our army, and are enemies to my religion, king, and country, and the worst that an English protestant can have abroad. I wonder, my lord, that there is no merchant, […] man of good repute, that has declared any thing against me.

I. HOLD your tongue, do you think that I will believe all you say? To be sure you have been a very wicked man by what is mentioned here, and you deny a great many things, and are so malicious, that you give what turn you please to things. I have heard of you four years ago; you are a […] man, but we have tortures to make people speak truth.

M. MY lord, you may do what you please with me; I cannot help myself, for your lordship knows that I have declared the truth.
