him and forbears his company and flatly fals out with him Somerset complaines to the King shortly the Prince falls sick and dies That he was poysoned hath been a common fame ever since But to snuffe the candle and make it burn cleare take the testimony of these famous Physitians that dissected his body and have left it upon record under their hands The Dissection of the Body of Prince HENRY FIrst we found his Liver paler then ordinary in certain places somwhat wan his Gall without any Choller in it and distended with winde Secondly his Spleen was in divers places more then ordinarily black Thirdly his Stomack was in no part offended Fourthly his Midriffe was in divers places black Fifthly his Lungs were very black and in divers places spotted and full of a thin watery blood Lastly the Veines in the hinder part of his head were fuller then ordinary but the Ventricles and hollownesse of the brain were full of cleare water In witnesse whereof with our own hands we have subscribed this present Relation Novemb. 7. 1612. MAYERN ATKINS HAMMOND PALMER GIFFORD BUTLER This Prince was an active man and full of high thoughts A Lover of this Nation and lookt upon by them with much affection and expectation What feares jealousies Somerset might maliciously infuse into the Kings too fearful and timorous soul we cannot tell but that language from Somerset to the Lieutenant of the Tower when he told him he must provide himself to go the next morning to Westminster to his Trial said He would not That the King had assured him he should not come to any trial neither durst the King bring him to any trial This language I say stinks abominably And when he did come to his Trial fearing being enraged that he might flie out into some strange discovery there were two men placed on each side of him with cloaks on their arms with peremptory cōmand that if Sommerset did any way flie out against the King they should instantly hoodwink him wth their cloaks take him violently from the Bar and carry him away and this could be no mans act but the Kings He would often boast of his King-craft but if his feares and Somersets malice took this Princes life away 't was a sweet peece of King-craft indeed but the fruit of it hath been bitter I cannot enough admire that language hee used when he gave in charge to his Judges the Examination of Sir Thomas Overburi●● murder My Lords I charge you as you will answer it at that great and terrible day of Judgment that you examine it strictly without favour affection or partiality And if you shall spare any guilty of this crime Gods curse light upon you and your posterity and if I shall spare any that are found guilty Gods curse light on me and my posterity for ever This expression hath a most honest out-side but if the King had a designe of feare rather to be so rid of Somerset then an inward desire of Justice 't was monstrous foule which we shall better judge of by the sequel Seven persons were by the Judges condemned to die for this foule murder four of them of the least account and accessaries are executed the three great ones and principals the King pardons and to Somerset himself to his dying day was most profusely liberal and suffered to live with that fire-brand of hel his wife under the Kings nose all the dayes of their lives Here 's fine jugling these must be saved for fear of telling Scotch tales of the King Would the spirits of those noble souls of these our dayes put up such a piece of injustice in the master and such an affront and contempt of this Nation both from the Master and the man two Scots without vengeance I believe not And this Favourite of his when his estate was seised upon for this foul murder was found to have two hundred thousand pounds in mony plate and jewels in his house and nineteen thousand pounds a year in Lands comming in a fine advance from a Scots Page fifty pounds and a Suit of Cloaths and can any man tel for what I never heard that all Scotland was worth so much But enough of him This King had no Wars but spent more mony prodigally profusely and riotously then any of his Predecessors What swarms of Scots came with him and after him into this kingdome who perpetually suckt him of most vast sums of moneys which stand yet upon record which put him upon all dishonourable wayes of raising monies to the most cruell oppression of this Nation to serve their riot and luxury but there are many yet living can justifie this truth Though they lived a while at such a height yet they died like themselves contemptible miserable Beggers and at this day scarce one of them can shew the fruits of those vast donatives either in themselves or their posterity that 's worth looking upon And so let them all perish whomsoever Scots or English whose foundation is such Though I see no reason but any estate may be now questioned which is known to have been raised upon the oppression of this Nation nor that any title of Honour so bought should descend to posterity A Lord is to be a Lord by merit of imployment in some noble Office for the publique good not by projecting tricks and cozening devices to fill a Tyrant's Coffers to the enslaving of a gallant free Nation But c. to return to King James In those dayes 't is true the Bishops Nobility and the Lawyers had a great influence upon the people for their abilities and supposed honesties yet amongst these such are found and others are made such that whatsoever the King would have they are fit and willing instruments to bring it about and make it passe for currant Divinity and Law Witnesse The burning of a whole Cart-load of Parliament Presidents that spake the Subjects Liberty that were burnt at the Kings first comming Witnesse the Nullity Witnesse the life of Sir Walter Rawleigh that was taken away in point of State whose least part was of more worth then the whole race of the best of the Scots Nation Witnes the inhancing of Customes Witnes Privy Seals Monopolies and Loans Benevolences Sales of Lands Woods Fines

could never understand what piece of King-craft it was to let the Prince his onely Son with Buckingham his favourite make that Voyage into Spain unlesse it were to be rid of them both and had he not had to do with a noble Enemy surely they had never returned Hee would sometimes call a
