What good will an answer do you, said Sec- retary Ravvson. To know, said Chrisiison, if you will own your late petition to the king, wherein you desire to kneel an)ong his most loyal subjects. W^e are among bis most loyal subjects, said Endicot. So am I, said Christiaon, and for aught I know as good as yourselves, if not better; for did the king but know your hearts as God knows them, he would soon see their rottenness towards himself; but as we are equally subject to the same king and laws, wh...at have you to do with my life here, upon a law of your own making, and not approved by our king or nation. I nev- er yet heard of English law to hang Quakers. But there is to hang Jesuits though, said En- dicot. But you presume to hang me as a Quaker and not as a . Jesuit, therefore I appeal to the laws of my own nation. We have you in our power, said a surly as- sistant, and shall dispose of you whether you will or no. Hold up your head, said secretary Rawson. I will not, said W^enlock; speak, 1 can hear thee.
