This declares Another soul than was delivered me, My anger melts, and I begin to pity her, How much a Prince's ear may be abused? Enjoy your happy confidence, at more leisure You may hear from us. Heaven preserve the Queen, And may her heart be charitable. You bless and honour your unworthy servant. My Lord, did you observe this? Yes great Madam, And read a noble spirit, which becomes The wife of Chabot, their great tie of marriage I● not more strong upon 'em, than their virtues. That your opinion? I thought your judgement Against the Admiral, do you think him honest? Religiously, a true, most zealous Patrior, And worth all royal favour. You amaze me, Can you be just yourself then, and advance Your powers against him? Such a will be far From Montmoranzie, pioneers of state Have left no art to gain me to their faction, And 'tis my misery to be placed in such A sphere where I am whirled by violence Of a fierce raging motion, and not what My own will would incline me. I shall make This appear Madam, if you please to second My free speech with the King. Good heaven protect all, Haste to the King, justice her swift wing needs, 'tis high time to be good, when virtue bleeds. Good Mr. Proctor general begin. It is not unknown to you my very good Lords the judges, and indeed to all the world, for I will make short work, since your honourable ears need not to be enlarged, I speak by a figure with prolix ennumeration how infinitely the King hath favoured this ill favoured Traitor; and yet I may worthily too insist and prove that no grace hath been so large and voluminous, as this, that he hath appointed such upright judges at this time, and the chief of this Triumvirie, our Chancellor by name Poyet, which deriveth from the Greek his Etymology from Poyeni, which is to make, to create, to invent matter that was never extant in nature, from whence also is the name and dignity of Poeta, which I will not insist upon, in this place, although I am confident his Lordship wanteth no faculty in making of Verses: but what addition I say is it to the honour of this Delinquent, that he hath such a judge, a man so learned, so full of equity, so noble, so notable in the progress of his life, so innocent, in the manage of his office so incorrupt; in the passages of State so wise, in affection to his country so religious, in all his services to the King so fortunate, and exploring, as envy itself cannot accuse, or malice vitiate, whom all lips will open to commend, but those of Philip; and in their hearts will erect Altars, and Statues, Columns, and Obelishes, Pillars and Pyramids, to the perpetuity of his name and memory. What shall I say ● but conclude for his so great and sacred service, both to our King and Kingdom, and for their everlasting benefit, there may everlastingly be left here one of his loins, one of his loins ever remain I say, and stay upon this Bench, to be the example of all justice, even while the North and South Star shall continue.
