For the former of these I will not lead your Lordships into it because I will engrieve nothing against a Penitent neither will I open any thing against him that is absent The one I will give to the Laws of Humanity and the other to the Laws of Justice for I shall always serve my Master with a good and sincere Conscience and I know that he accepteth best Therefore I will reserve that till to morrow and hold my self to that which I called the Stage or Theater whereunto indeed it may be fitly compared for that things were first contained within the Invisible Judgments of God as within a Curtain and after came forth and were acted most worthily by the King and right well by his Ministers Sir Thomas Overbury was murthered by Poison Septemb. 15. 1613. This foul and cruel Murder did for a time cry secretly in the Ears of God but God gave no answer to it otherwise than by that Voice which sometime he useth which is Vox Populi the Speech of the People For there went then a Murmur that Overbury was poisoned and yet the same submiss and low Voice of God the Speech of the Vulgar People was not without a Counter-tenor or Counter-blast of the Devil who is the common Author both of Murder and Slander for it was given out that Overbury was dead of a foul Disease and his Body which they had made Corpus Iudaicum with their Poisons so as it had no whole part must be said to be leprosed with Vice and so his Name poisoned as well as his Body For as to Dissoluteness I have not heard the Gentleman noted with it his Faults were of Insolency Turbulency and the like of that kind Mean time there was some Industry used of which I will not now speak to lull asleep those that were the Revengers of the Blood the Father and the Brother of the Murdered And in these terms things stood by the space of two years during which time God did so blind the two great Procurers and dazle them with their Greatness and blind and nail fast the Actors and Instruments with security upon their Protection as neither the one looked about them nor the other stirred or fled or were conveyed away but remained here still as under a privy Arrest of God's Judgments insomuch as Franklin that should have been sent over to the Palsgrave with good store of Money was by God's Providence and the Accident of a Marriage of his diverted and stayed But about the beginning of the Progress the last Summer God's Judgments began to come out of their depths And as the revealing of Murder is commonly such as a Man said à Domino hoc factum est it is God's work and it is marvellous in our eyes so in this particular it was most admirable for it came forth first by a Complement a matter of Courtesy My Lord of Shrewsbury that is now with God recommended to a Councellor of State of special Trust by his place the late Lieutenant * Called in Sir H. Wotton 's Reliq p. 413. Elvis In Sir A. Welden 's Court of K. Iames p. 107. Elwaies In Aulic Coquin p. 141. Ellowaies In Sir W. Dugdales Baron of Eng. Tom 2. p. 425. Elways In Baker Yelvis p. 434. Helwisse only for Acquaintance as an honest and worthy Gentleman and desired him to know him and to be acquainted with him That Councellor answered him civilly That my Lord did him a favour and that he should embrace it willingly but he must let his Lordship know that there did lie a heavy imputation upon the Gentleman Helwisse for that Sir Tho. Overbury his Prisoner was thought to have come to a violent and an untimely Death When this Speech was reported back by my Lord of Shrewsbury to Helwisse percussit ili●ò animum he was strucken with it and being a politick Man and of likelihood doubting that the matter would break forth at one time or other and that others might have the start of him and thinking to make his own Case by his own Tale resolved with himself upon this occasion to discover unto my Lord of Shrewsbury and that Councellor that there was an Attempt whereunto he was privy to have poisoned Overbury by the hands of his Underkeeper Weston but that he checked it and put it by and disswaded it But then he left it thus that it was but as an Attempt or an untimely Birth never executed and as if his own Fault had been no more but that he was honest in forbidding but fearful of revealing and impeaching or accusing great Persons And so with this fine point thought to save himself But that Councellor of Estate wisely considering that by the Lieutenant's own Tale it could not be simply a Permission or Weakness for that Weston was never displaced by the Lieutenant notwithstanding that Attempt and coupling the Sequel by the beginning thought it matter fit to be brought before his Majesty by whose appointment Helwisse set down the like Declaration in writing Upon this Ground the King playeth Salomon's part gloria Dei celare rem gloria Regis investigare rem and sets down certain Papers of his own hand which I might term to be Claves Iustitiae Keys of Justice and may serve both for a Precedent for Princes to imitate and for a Direction for Iudges to follow And his Majesty carried the Ballance with a constant and steady hand evenly and without prejudice whether it were a true Accusation of the one part or a Practice and factious Scandal of the other Which Writing because I am not able to express according to the worth thereof I will desire your Lordships anon to hear read This excellent Foundation of Justice being laid by his Majesties own hand it was referred unto some Councellors to examine further who gained some Degrees of Light from Weston but yet left it imperfect After it was referred to Sir Ed. Cook Chief Justice of the Kings Bench as a Person best practised in Legal Examinations who took a great deal of indefatigable pains in it without intermission having as I have heard him say taken at least three hundred Examinations in this Business But these things were not done in a Corner I need not speak of them It is true that my Lord Chief Justice in the dawning and opening of the Light finding the matter touched upon these great Persons very discreetly became Suitor to the King to have greater Persons than his own Rank joined with him whereupon your Lordships my Lord High Steward of England my Lord Steward of the King's House and my Lord Zouch were joined with him Neither wanted there this while Practice to suppress Testimony to deface Writings to weaken the Kings Resolution to slander the Justice and the like Nay when it came to the first solemn Act of Justice which was the Arraignment of Weston he had his lesson to stand mute which had arrested the whole Wheel of Justice but this dumb Devil by
