_Raleigh._ I never had intelligence with Cobham since I came to the Tower. _Coke._ Go to, I will lay thee upon thy back, for the confidentest Traitor that ever came at a bar. Why should you take 8,000 crowns for a peace? _Lord Cecil._ Be not so impatient, good Mr. Attorney, give him leave to speak. _Coke._ If I may not be patiently heard, you will encourage Traitors, and discourage us. I am the king's sworn servant, and must speak; If he be guilty, he is a Traitor; if not, deliver him. [_Note._--Here Mr. Attorney sat down in a chafe, and would speak no more, until the Commissioners urged and intreated him. After much ado, he went on, and made a long repetition of all the Evidence, for the direction of the Jury; and at the repeating of some things, sir Walter Raleigh interrupted him, and said, he did him wrong.] _Coke._ Thou art the most vile and execrable Traitor that ever lived. _Raleigh._ You speak indiscreetly, barbarously and uncivilly. _Coke._ I want words sufficient to express thy viperous Treasons. _Raleigh._ I think you want words indeed, for you have spoken one thing half a dozen times. _Coke._ Thou art an odious fellow, thy name is hateful to all the realm of England for thy pride. _Raleigh._ It will go near to prove a measuring cast between you and me, Mr. Attorney. _Coke._ Well, I will now make it appear to the world, that there never lived a viler viper upon the face of the earth than thou.... JAMES AT HAMPTON COURT (1603). =Source.=--_State Trials._ Vol. ii., p. 85. _Dr. Reynolds._ I desire, that according to certain provincial constitutions, the clergy may have meetings every three weeks.--1. First in Rural Deaneries, therein to have prophesying, as archbishop Grindall, and other bishops, desired of her late majesty.--2. That such things as could not be resolved on there, might be referred to the archdeacons' visitations.--3. And so to the Episcopal Synod, to determine such points before not decided. _His Majesty._ If you aim at a Scottish Presbytery, it agreeth as well with monarchy, as God and the devil. Then Jack, and Tom, and Will, and Dick, shall meet and censure me and my council. Therefore I reiterate my former speech, _Le Roy s'avisera_; Stay, I pray, for one seven years, before you demand, and then if you find me grow pursy and fat, I may, perchance, hearken unto you, for that government will keep me in breath, and give me work enough. I shall speak of one matter more, somewhat out of order, but it skilleth not; Dr. Reynolds, you have often spoken for my Supremacy, and it is well: but know you any here, or elsewhere, who like of the present government ecclesiastical, and dislike my Supremacy? _Dr. Reyn._ I know none.
