152 CHARGE AGAINST MR. OLIVER ST. JOHN.

 wish both you and all to take heed of, how you 

 speak seditious matter in parables, or by tropes or 

 examples. There is a thing in an indictment called 

 an inuendo ; you must beware how you beckon or 

 make signs upon the king in a dangerous sense : but 

 I will contain myself and press this no farther. I may 

 hold you for turbulent or presumptuous ; but I hope 

 you are not disloyal : you are graciously and merci 

 fully dealt with. And therefore having now opened 

 to my lords, and, as I think, to your own heart and 

 conscience, the principal part of your offence, which 

 concerns the king, I leave the rest, which concerns 

 the law, parliament, and the subjects that have given, 

 to Mr. Serjeant and Mr. Solicitor.
