ATTORNEY--Have I angered you?

RALEIGH--I am in no case to be angry.

CHIEF-JUSTICE POPHAM--Sir Walter Raleigh, Mr. Attorney speaketh
out of the zeal of his duty, for the service of the king, and
you for your life; be valiant on both sides.

_The Lord Cobham's Examination._[15]

'He confesseth, he had a Passport to go into Spain, intending
to go to the Archduke, to confer with him about these Practices;
and because he knew the Archduke had not Money to pay his own
army, from thence he meant to go to Spain to deal with the king
for the 600,000 crowns, and to return by Jersey; and that

Evidence that can be brought against me; poor shifts! You
Gentlemen of the Jury, I pray you understand this. This is that
which must either condemn, or give me life; which must free me,
or send my wife and children to beg their bread about the
streets. This is that which must prove me a notorious Traitor,
or a true subject to the king. Let me see my Accusation, that I
may make my Answer.

CLERK OF THE COUNCIL--I did read it, and shew you all the
examinations.

RALEIGH--At my first examination at Windsor, my lords asked me
what I knew of Cobham's practice with Aremberg; I answered
negatively: and as concerning Arabella I protest before God I
never heard one word of it. If that be pr
