1 " Extracted *' in MS. > TeniBon MSS. 938 f. 125. * See above, p. 277. The original letter. 1616.] HEADS OF THS CHABaS TO BB DEUTBSED. 287 For the first two heads (upon conference^ whereunto I called Serjeant Montagu and seijeant Crew), I have taken them two heads to myself; the third I have allotted to seijeant Montagu ; and the fourth to Serjeant Crew. In the first of these, to my understanding, is the only tender- ness. For on the one side it is most necessary to lay a founda- tion, that th...e malice was a deep malice, mixed with fear, and not only matter of revenge upon his La: quarrel.^ For periculum periculo vincitur; and the malice must have a proportion to the efiiBct of it, which was the impoisonment. So that if this foun- dation be not laid all the evidence is weakened. On the other side, if I charge him, or conld charge him, by way of aggravation, with matters tending to disloyalty or treason, then he is like to grow desperate. Therefore I shall now set down perspicuously what course I mean to hdd, that your Majesty may be pleased to direct and correct it, preserving the strength of the evidence ; and this I shall now do, but shortly &nd without ornament.
