DUNNE--My lord, I will tell everything that I know; I confess I did both eat and drink there in the room. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--I pity thee with all my soul and pray to God Almighty for thee, to forgive thee, and to the Blessed Jesus to mediate for thee; and I pray for thee with as much earnestness, as I would for my own soul; and I beg of thee once more, as thou regardest thy own eternal welfare, to tell all the truth. DUNNE--My lord, I did never know these men were in the army when I carried the message to my lady Lisle's, nor never did entertain them in my house in my life time, so much as one night. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Prithee, I do not ask thee what thou didst not, but what thou didst? DUNNE--My lord, I will tell all I know. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--What discourse had you that night at the table in the room? DUNNE--I cannot tell what discourse truly, my lord, there was. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Was there nothing of coming beyond seas, who came from thence, and how they came? Come I would have it rather the effect of thy own ingenuity, than lead thee by any questions I can propound; come tell us what was the discourse? DUNNE--I do not remember all the discourse. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Prithee let me ask thee one question, and answer me it fairly; didst thou hear Nelthorp's name named in the room? DUNNE--My lord, I cannot tell whether he were called Nelthorp, but it was either Crofts or Nelthorp, I am sure one of them. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Prithee, be ingenious, and let us have the truth on it. DUNNE--My lord, I am ingenious and will be so. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--I will assure you Nelthorp told me all the story before I came out of town.[59] DUNNE--I think, my lord, he was called Nelthorp in the room, and there was some discourse about him. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Ay, there was unquestionably, and I know thou wert by, and that made me the more concerned to press upon thee the danger of forswearing thyself. DUNNE--My lady asked Hicks who that gentleman was, and he said it was Nelthorp, as I remember. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Very well, and upon that discourse with Nelthorp, which I had in town, did I give particular direction, that the outlawry of Nelthorp should be brought down hither, for he told me particularly of all the passages and discourses of his being beyond sea: I would not mention any such thing as any piece of evidence to influence this case, but I could not but tremble to think, after what I knew, that any one should dare so much to prevaricate with God and man, as to tell such horrid lyes in the face of a Court. DUNNE--What does your lordship ask me? LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Come I will ask thee a plain question; was there no discourse there about the battle, and of their being in the army?
