Hell; for thou confesseth the king to be a most sweet and
gracious prince, and yet hast conspired against him.

_Watson's Examination read._

'He said, that George Brook told him twice, That his brother,
the lord Cobham, said to him, that you are but on the bye, but
Raleigh and I are on the main.'

_Brook's Examination read._

'Being asked what was meant by this Jargon, the Bye and the
Main? he said, That the lord Cobham told him, that Grey and
others were in the Bye, he and Raleigh were on the Main. Being

RALEIGH--He doth not much care for that.

LORD CECIL--I must judge the best. The accusation of his brother

_Cobham's Examination read._

'He saith he had a Book written against the Title of the King,
