ing at his coronation is sworn _In omnibus
Judiciis suis aequitatem, non rigorem legis, observare_. By the
rigour and cruelty of the law it may be a forcible evidence.

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--That is not the rigour of the law, but the
justice of the law; else when a man hath made a plain
Accusation, by practice he might be brought to retract it again.

RALEIGH--Oh my lord, you may use equity.

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--That is from the king; you are to have
justice from us.

LORD ANDERSON--The law is, if the matter be proved to the jury,
they must find you guilty; for Cobham's Accusation is not only
against you, there are other things sufficient.

LORD CECIL--Now that sir Walter Raleigh is satisfied, that
Cobham's Subscription is not necessary, I pray you, Mr.
Attorney, go on.

RALEIGH--Good Mr. Attorney, be patient, and give me leave.

LORD CECIL--An unnecessary patience is a hindrance; let him go

LORD CECIL--If you would have a table and pen and ink, you

Then paper and ink was given him. Here the Clerk of the Crown
read the Letter, which the lord Cobham did write in July, which
was to the effect of his former Examination; further saying, 'I
have disclosed all: to accuse any one falsely, were to burden my
own conscience.'

ATTORNEY--Read Copley's Confession the 8th of June; He saith, He
was offered 1000 crowns to be in this action.

Here Watson's Additions were read. 'The great mass of Money from
the count was impossible,' etc.

Brook's Confession read. 'There have Letters passed,' saith he,
'between Cobham and Aremberg, for a great sum of money to assist
a second action, for the surprizing of his majesty.'

ATTORNEY--It is not possible it was of passion: for it was in
talk before three men, being severally examined, who agreed in
the sum to be bestowed on discontented persons; That Grey should
have 12,000 crowns, and Raleigh should have 8,000, or 10,000
crowns.

_Cobham's Examination, July 18._

If the money might be procured (saith he) then a man may give
pensions. Being asked if a pension should not be given to his
brother Brook, he denied it not.

_Lawrency's Examination._

Within five days after Aremberg arrived, Cobham resorted unto
him. Tha
