the Seas were sealed together with other Letters senâ— from thence to the same Sir Ralph also sealed all of one hand and for that also that the seal was larger then the seal of the said Sir Ralph it seemed forged by some of his enemies for his overthrow In the end the same Sir Ralph being once or twice urged to answer whether these Letters were his or no answered That he did not remember that they were his own letters and that he was ready to approve as they should think good before which his last answer he offered the combate with any that would where from he was put And therefore as
