This was all that _Olivarez_ desir'd, for now he could give the Business what Turn he pleas'd. He chose three of his own Creatures for the Commissioners, into whose hands the Letters were put, and by whom _Sancho_ was examin'd several times; all their Aim was to acquit the Duke of _Medina_, to which end _Olivarez_, himself came to _Sancho_, and affecting an affable Behaviour, and an extraordinary Kindness for the Man; "How, my dear _Sancho, said_ he, shall we contrive to acquit the Duke of _Medina_ of a Crime, which is testify'd only by the Letters of an unknown Monk, and who probably was bribed by the Duke's Enemies to lay this to his charge; for certain it is, that never Governour of _Andalusia_ discharg'd his Duty better, both towards the King and his Province." _Sancho_, who was fully persuaded of the Truth of his Deposition, and fear'd that any of the Criminals should be acquitted, lest he should lose his hoped-for Reward, still maintain'd, that he was well assur'd that there was an horrid Conspiracy form'd against the Government in favour of the Duke, who was also at the head of it; that the Marquiss _Daiamonti_ was the Contriver of the Plot; and that he himself had read several of their Letters, which were shewn him by the _Franciscan_, and was certain, that if _Olivarez_ did not prevent it in time, all _Andalusia_ would be up in Arms, to make their Governour their Monarch. _Olivarez_, very unwilling that this Business should be too narrowly search'd into, took an opportunity of telling the King, that the Monk's Letters had been decypher'd and examin'd, and that he really believ'd him to be some Wretch who had been bribed to calumniate the Duke; for there was no Letter of his produc'd, nor did _Sancho_ make any formal Deposition against him. However, as it was impossible to be too cautious in such a case as this, his Opinion was, that the Duke must be artfully drawn to Court, for if he had any such Design on foot, it was not safe to arrest him in _Andalusia_; that some Forces must be sent to _Cadiz_, under a new Governour; that the Marquiss _Daiamonti_ must be taken up at the same time, and if they were found guilty, his Majesty might deliver them over to the Severity of the Law. This haughty Minister's Will was not only generally a Law to the Subjects of _Spain_, but was always one to the King; who told him, that he should manage this Business as he thought fit, for he left it entirely to him. Upon this _Olivarez_ sent his Nephew, Don _Lewis d'Haro_, to the Duke of _Medina_, to tell him what had been depos'd against him, and with Orders, that guilty or not guilty, he should immediately come to Court, which if he did, his Pardon should be granted; but that if he defer'd his Journey, it would no longer be in his power to procure it.
