CHARGE AGAINST THE LORD SANQUHAR. 



received a stop. So that I may conclude his majesty 

 hath shewed himself God s true lieutenant, and that 

 he is no respecter of persons ; but the English, 

 Scottish, nobleman &amp;gt; fencer, are to him alike in respect 

 of justice. 



Nay, I must say farther* that his majesty hath 

 had, in this, a kind of prophetical spirit ; for what 

 time Carlile and Grey, and you, my lord, yourself, 

 were fled no man knew whither, to the four winds, 

 the king ever spake in a confident and undertaking 

 manner, that wheresoever the offenders were in 

 Europe, he would produce them forth to justice ; of 

 which noble word God hath made him master. 



Lastly, I will conclude towards you, my lord, 

 that though your offence hath been great, yet your 

 confession hath been free, and your behaviour and 

 speech full of discretion; and this shews, that though 

 you could not resist the tempter, yet you bear a 

 Christian and generous mind, answerable to the 

 noble family of which you are descended. This I 

 commend unto you, and take it to be an assured 

 token of God s mercy and favour, in respect whereof 

 all worldly things are but trash ; and so it is fit for 

 you, as your state now is, to account them. And 

 this is all I will say for the present. 



\_Note, The reader, for his fuller information in this 

 story of the lord Sanquhar, is desired to peruse 

 the case in the ninth book of the lord Coke s Re* 

 ports ; at the end of which the whole series of the 

 murder and trial is exactly related.]
