LETTERS RELATING TO 



Not king yet proved 

 against LowbelL 



Nothing to Somer 



set. 



Declared by Frank 

 lin after condemna 

 tion. 



Henry came to an untimely 

 death by a mistress of his. 



That Somerset, with others, 

 would have preferred Low- 

 bell the apothecary to prince 

 Charles. 



That the countess laboured 

 Forman and Gresham, the 

 conjurers, to inforce the queen 

 by witchcraft to favour the 

 countess. 



That the countess told 

 Franklin, that when the queen 

 died, Somerset should have 

 Somerset-house. 



That Northampton said, 

 the prince, if ever he came to 

 reign, would prove a tyrant. 



That Franklin was moved 

 by the countess to go to the 

 Palsgrave, and should be fur 

 nished with money. 



The particular reasons, why I omit them, I have 

 set in the margin ; but the general is partly to do a 

 kind of right to justice, and such a solemn trial, in 

 not giving that in evidence, which touches not the 

 delinquent, or is not of weight ; and partly to ob 

 serve your majesty s direction, to give Somerset no 

 just occasion of despair or flushes. 



But I pray your majesty to pardon me, that I 

 have troubled your majesty with repeating them, 



Nothing to Somer 



set. 



Nothing to Somer 



set.
