Spink, Henry
Gunpowder Plot, 1605; Monteagle, William Parker, Baron, 1574 or 1575-1622
“If you charge one in the month of August to have done such a fact, if he
deny that he was in that place at that time, and proves it by witnesses,
it may go to invalidate the credibility of the man’s testimony, _but it
does not invalidate the truth of the thing itself_, which may be true in
substance, though the circumstance of time differ; and the question is,
_whether the thing be true?_” Quoted in Morris’s “_Troubles: The Southcote
Family_,” first series, p. 378 (Burns & Oates). (The italics are mine.)
