Sit downe then, And now with speedy Justice let's prepare To cutt off this Imposthume. Enter Provost & Guard, with Barnavelt. Vand. 'Tis high time, Sir. Prov. Roome for the Prisoner! Vand. Bring him in; Sit downe, Sir, And take your last place with us. Bar. 'Tis your forme And I infringe no order. Bred.
I must beleeve and suffer whatsoever Your Lordships charge me with: yet would gladly heare What my faultes are. Vand. Read the Confessions Of Leidenberch and Taurinus. Bar. Leidenberch! Officer reads. Secondly, Change and alter the Religion, and to that end, without the Consent of the Generall States, had raysed up and dispeirsed 3000 Arminian Soldiers. Thirdly, To degrade the Prince of Orange.
And for the honour of the Court. Vand. Goe on; You have my voice. Bre. And mine; yet wee'll proceed As judgement shall direct us. Vand. 'Tis my purpose. Bar. In this disgrace I have one foote on his neck; Ere long Ile set the other on his head And sinck him to the Center. Leid. Looke to the dores there. Enter Pr. of Orange, Gra: William, Collonells & Captaines. Or.
The Prince of Orange, Most thinck, affects him not, nor he the Prince. That either of their angry wills should prove A lawful act to ruyn one another, And not a medium of more open Justice, More equall and more honorable, step in, Man had no powre to stand nor fall with honour. If he be falce, honest and upright proofes Will ripen the Imposture. Enter Barnavelt and his Son. Vand.
You are a good Lord, Indeed I love you for't and will pray for you. Come, father; now I must goe too, I care not. While I am with you, you shall have no hurt, Ile be your warrant. Leid. I have lost myself, But something I shall doe. Or. 'Tis time to rise; And, if your Lordshipps please, we will defer Our other busines to an other sitting. Vand.
You already, In free confession of your fault, have made A part of satisfaction; goe on in it, And you shall find a faire discovery Of youre fowle purposes and th'agents in 'em Will wyn more favour from theyr lordships to you Then any obstinate deniall can doe. Leid. All that I know I will deliver to you, And beyond that your Excellence nor their Lordships Will not, I hope, perswade me. Vand.
Modesbargens flight assures him one, nor is The pentionary of Roterdam Grotius, Free from suspition: from Utrecht I have brought The Secretarie Leidenberge, who hath Confest alredy something that will give us Light to find out the rest. I would end here And leave out Barnavelt. Bred. If he be guiltie He's to be nam'd and punishd with the rest. Vand.
Then, to affright the rest, I hold it fitt that Barnavelt, one that has Most frends and meanes to hurt, and will fall therefore With greater terror, should receive his Sentence, Then dye as he deserves. For Modesbargen And Hogerbeets we shall find fitt time to Thinck of them hereafter. Bred. Let him be sent for. Vand.
The track led us higher and higher, farther and farther into the mountains, until on the shores of a desolate rock-bound vand it abruptly ended, and we stood staring at one another, and the snow began to fall. Unless in the next half-hour we could chance upon a saeter, this meant passing the night upon the mountain.
O, you forgettfull, all this I performd And in the golden fagot of faire Concord Bound safely up those strengthes which Mutenies, Corruption and homebred Traitors scatterd. Vand. This is a point you often choose to treat of, And yet some part of theis good services None will deny you. Or. But to ingrosse all Would argue me your ward, should I give way too't, And these grave Lords your Schollers.
