SEVENTEENTH ACCUSATION.
THAT you hindered your family from being brought up in the christian faith, and if it was not for you they would be all Romans, and it is against the laws of the country to hinder them.
REPLY.
MY lord, it is false that my family had any inclinations to be Romans; neither can any law oblige them to be so, or hinder me from bringing them up in my religion. Your lordship, five weeks ago, told me, that you would show me the articles of peace, and that I had broke them. Pray let me see them, my lord.
