LORD RUSSELL--Pray, Dr. Burnet, did you hear anything from my
lord Howard, since the Plot was discovered, concerning me?
DR. BURNET--My lord Howard was with me the night after the Plot
broke out, and he did then, as he had done before, with hands
and eyes lifted up to heaven, say he knew nothing of any Plot,
nor believed any; and treated it with scorn and contempt.
LORD HOWARD--My lord, may I speak for myself?
JEFFREYS--No, no, my lord, we don't call you.
LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Will you please to have any other witnesses
called?
LORD RUSSELL--There are some persons of quality that I have
been very well acquainted and conversed with. I desire to know
of them, if there was anything in my former carriage to make
them think me like to be guilty of this? My lord Cavendish.
LORD CAVENDISH--I had the honour to be acquainted with my lord
Russell a long time. I always thought him a man of great
honour, and too prudent and wary a man to be concerned in so
vile and desperate a design as this, and from which he would
receive so little advantage; I can say nothing more, but that
two or three days since the discovery of this plot upon
discourse about Col. Rumsey my lord Russell did express
something, as if he had a very ill opinion of the man, and
therefore it is not likely he would entrust him with such a
secret.
