of challenging the Jury how many I may challenge and whether I may render a reason of the same Iu. I think you will know a cause in your conscience before you challenge any of them Vd. Then I pray you my L. how many am I by law permitted to challenge Iud. Nay I am not to t●ll you that I sit to judge and not to give you counsell Then Mr. Vdal keeping silence Proclamation was made according to the manner that if any man could give in evidence against Iohn Vdall prisoner at the Bar that they should come into the Court and be heard Then Mr. Daulton stood up And in the meane while Mr. Vdall said to the Iudges thus My Lords I beseech you answer me to one question before Mr. Daulton begin to speake Jud. Sa● on Vda Is it permitted me by law to answer to those things in particular which are brought to prove this Indictment Jud. It is permitted Vda Then I humbly crave of your Lordships to grant me two Petitions which I thinke will greatly further both him in speaking me in answering and also be a more ready helpe to the memory of the Jury that they may be able to beare the matter away Jud What are your Petitions Vda The first is that when Mr. Daulton hath spoken to one point what he can I may answer to that before he proceed any further lest my memory being overwhelmed with multitude of matter I should forget to answere to some points of importance and the Jury made the l●sse able to discerne of the particulars The second is that it might please you to grant me to answer without interruption Jud. You shall have them b●th granted Dau. Then Mr. Daulton said Mr. Udall you have these Petitions grandte you I desire the same of you And then he desiring leave of the Judges before he should prove the Indictment to say something touching this that this man and such as he is do maintaine c. After leave given him hee used a very long speech to the great disgrace and slander of the cause and those men that professed the same especially of Mr. Udall and making mention in the same his Speech of five severall Bookes of Common Prayer made by such as desire Reformation he affirmed that in one of the said Bookes there was horrible Blasphemy in these words of the consecration of the Lords Supper Take eate this is my Body drink this is my blood Then he cryed out saving Oh horrible ●lasphemy and taking occasion upon the variety of these Bookes he affirmed that there was no constancy in these men And whereas one of the Bookes doth allow that over every Congregation there should be a faithfull Pastor that is quoth hee a Shepheard whereby they may take the Government out of her Majesties hand and so bring her Majesty to be one of their Sheepe no quoth hee her Majesty is no Sheepe under any Shepheard in the wo●ld except Christ and for the government that these men do seeke for I am assured there is none such to be found in the word of God Vda Mr. Daulton hath used a very large speech which doth nothing concerne to prove the Indictment or me in particular and therefore seeing I am not called hither to dispute and if I would I should not be permitted I will not answer it onely thus much will I say if it please your Lordships that seeing Mr. Daulton is by profession a Lawyer and the cause is yet in question amongst the learned Divines methinks it had bin more modesty for Mr. Daulton to have suspend●d ●●s judgement un ill the Controversie had bin determined amongst them to whose profession it belongeth especially seeing Mr. Daulton knoweth in his conscience that he hath heretofore carried some shew of ●●keing to the cause which now he speaketh against Jud. Sirra Sirra answer to the matter that Mr. Daulton hath against you Mr. Daulton proceed to the proofe of the points of the Indictment Daul My masters you of the Jury c. I will prove first that he had a malicious intent in making of this Booke secondly that he is the Author of it and thirdly that these matters contained in the Indictment are Felony by the Statute Eliz. 23. cap. 2. Then was Mr. Beadle the Register called who was sworne that these Examinations following were as the parties themselves confessed the same And to prove the first the Clarke of the Assises caused Stephen Chatfield to be called into the Court to give in evidence against Iohn Vdall but he appeared not at all for which the Judges were offended and Sergeant Puckering said there was a Warrant sen● for him whereupon some standing by affirmed that the Warrant came after his departure from home Then Mr. Daulton said that he went out of the way of purpose and Iudge Clarke said Mr. Vdall you are glad of that Mr. Vdall answered Vda My Lords I wish heartily he had bin here for as I am sure he never could say any thing against me to prove this point so I have heard and am able to prove it to be true that he is very sorry that ever he made any complaint against me confessing he did it in his anger when Martin came first out and by their suggestions whom he hath proved since by experience to be very bad men Dault. It is no great matter whether he be here or no for we have his Articles against you and your own confession to prove this point sufficiently Then were Mr. Chatfields Articles that he brought to the Arch-Bishop against Mr. Vdall read by the Clarke containing a report of certaine written papers tending as he supposed to the making of such a Booke as this is and thereupon asked Mr. Vdall whose writing they were who answered they are a friends of mine whereunto Chatfield replied wishing him to take heed of them and to rid his hands of them and to returne them to his friend from whom he had them for he doubted they concerned the State These papers he saw in Mr. Vdall Study at Kingston Also he further saith that at an other time he having conferred with Mr. Udall in a certaine field by Kingston called little field about his putting to silence he saith that the said Mr. Vdall uttered these words That if they put him to silence he would give the Bishops such a blow as they never had Vda May it please your Lordships that I may answer to these things in particular Jud. Say on let us heare your Answer Vda I was accused this time two yeares upon the words of Chatfield that these papers that he did see in my studie should be the matter of Martyn Mar-prelate and because I cleared my selfe of that it is now brought to prove an other matter but it proveth nothing unlesse it were set downe in particular what they were Daul It proveth this that you had a purpose to write this Booke and those things were collections from your friends and

againe unto Mr. Nowell earnestly charging him to take my case to heart seeing he had promised to procure me favour whereupon I wrote unto him this letter following RIght Worshipfull Mr. Nowell as I did rejoyce when I perceived that you were imployed to deale with mee about my submission because of that Reverend estimation that you have bin so long of among the Worthies in the Church of God hoping that I I should have found thereby some comfortable meanes of meditation unto authority for my release so I am now occaisoned to feare that all that credit with you are of shall be used as an instrument to further and hasten extremity upon me For so much time being passed since I voluntarily yeelded to that submission which you brought unto me and no liberty appearing from any place but rather that being given out that my submission shall be a speciall meanes to hasten my death and no way to procure my liberty I am constrained to write unto you to let you understand that as I looke for that end the next weeke at the Assises at Kingston where I have been a Preacher which hath so long bin threatned but to the doubling of my torments deferred whereunto I doubt not the Lord will strengthen me as graciously he hath hitherto done So I pray you as you will answer unto God for my blood which I am perswaded your credit being imployed to the uttermost as in the word and faith of a Christian you promised might have preserved that you would so take my case to heart as it may inforce you to leave no stone unturned which may either further my liberty or at lest cleere your conscience from being any way accessary to my death For it will one day bee an heavy thing to your heart to thinke that you should be set on worke and the accompt that is worthily made of you imployed under pretence yea and as it were with assurance of life and liberty to draw that from a Preacher and Professor of the gospel which afterward shall be used to hasten his end and you will say it had bin better that you had never bin of any reckoning then to bee made an Instrument to further such an action This I write unto you not in any troubled affection with the feare of death for I thanke God I am willing to end my daies and if it please the Lord even in this manner and hope that my death shall further the cause for which I suffer more then my life But lest I should neglect any meanes which might seeme to be a furtherance to prevent the same or leave that dutie unperformed unto you which I take my selfe in conscience bound to discharge the Lord make us willing and able to discharge every good dutie that he enjoyneth us to his glory the good of his Church and our own comfort whether by l●fe or death About the same time came a Letter from the King of Scotland to a Scotish Merchant one Mr. Iohnson lying in London to be delivered to her Majesty as was said being written in my behalfe as he had done once before when I was close prisoner this Letter did the Merchant deliver to her Majesty and the Dean of Pauls upon my Letter went to the Councell whereby whatsoever was wrought as soone as the Judges heard that I was brought to Kingstone where the Assises were then kept I was immediately returned unto the White-Lyon in the evening before the first day thereof Afterward Mr. Iohnson had the Copy of the Kings Letter sent unto him which then appeared to be written not for me alone but also for the rest of my Brethren the Ministers in prison for the same cause of Discipline the tenor of which Letter here followeth RIght Excellent high and mighty Princesse our dearest Sister and Cousen in our heartiest manner we recommend us unto you Heareing of the apprehension of Mr. Udall and Mr. Cartwright and certaine other Ministers of the Evangell within your Realme of whose good erudition and fruitfull travells in the Church we heare a very credible commendation howsoever that their diversitie from the Bishops and others of your Clergy in matters touching them in conscience hath bin a meane by their dilation to worke them your misliking at this present we cannot weighing the duty which we owe to such as are afflicted for their conscience in that profession but by our most effectuous and earnest Letter interpone us at your hands to any harder usage of them for that cause Requesting you most earnestly that for our cause and intercession it may please you to let them be relieved of their present straite and whatsoever further accusation or pursuite depending on that ground respecting both their former merit in setting forth of the Evangell the simplicitie of their conscience in this defence which cannot well be their let by compulsion and the great slander which could not faile to fall out upon their further straiting for any such occasion which we assure us your zeale to Religion besides the expectation we have of your good will to pleasure us will willingly accord to our request having such proofes from time to time of our like disposition to you in any matters which you recommend unto us And thus Right Excellent Right High and Mighty Princes our deare Sister and Cozen we commit you to Gods good protection From Edenborough the 12th ' Day
