A TRUE REMEMBRANCE OF THE ABUSE I RECEIVED OF 

 MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL * PUBLICLY IN THE EXCHE 

 QUER THE FIRST DAY OF TERM; FOR THE TRUTH 

 WHEREOF I REFER MYSELF TO ALL THAT WERE PRE 

 SENT. 



I moved to have a reseizure of the lands of George 

 More, a relapsed recusant, a fugitive, and a practis 

 ing traitor ; and shewed better matter for the queen 

 against the discharge by plea, which is ever with a 

 &quot; salvo jure.&quot; And this I did in as gentle and rea 

 sonable terms as might be. 



Mr. Attorney kindled at it, and said, &quot; Mr. 

 Bacon, if you have any tooth against me, pluck it 

 out ; for it will do you more hurt than all the teeth 

 in your head will do you good.&quot; I answered coldly 

 in these very words ; Mr. Attorney, I respect you : 



* Edward Coke, knighted by king James at Greenwich in 

 1603 ; and made lord chief justice of the common pleas, 30 June, 

 1606.
