This fame Emanuel Lonys, and steven Fcrrer~t al(o; Whereof the one, mannaged the Matter abroad; And the other, refided here, to givecO!refpondence, · never meeting, after Emanuel had returned, feverally examined, without Torture, or Threntning, did, in the end, voluntarily, and clearly, confdle the Matters~ above mentioned: And in their Confeffions, fully confent, and concur) Not only in fubfiance, but in all points, particularities, and Circumftances : Which Confeffions,appear expreffed:>in their own Naturall Language, tefiified, and fubfcribed, with their o:vn Hands; And in open Affembly, at the Arraignment of Lope<t>, 10 the Guild hall". were, by them confirmed,and avouched, to Lopez his face; And. therewithall are extant, undefacecl, the Originall Letters, (rom. C01tnt de Fuente, Secretary Juara, and the Refi. And Lop·ez himfelf, at his firfi ApprehenfioR, and Examination, did indeed deny; And deny, with deep,and terrible Oathes, · and Execrations, the very Conferenc(s, and Treaties, with Ferrera, or Andrada, about. the Empoyfonment. And being detnanded) if they were provedagainfi him,what he would fay? He anfwered; That he would yield himfelfgudty, of the FalJ intended. Nevertheldfe, being afterwards confronted by Ferrera, who confumtly maintained to him, all that he faid; Reducing him, to the Ttmes, and places, of the faid Conferenee!, he confefied the . . Matter; As by his Confeffion, in writing, figned with his own Hand, appeareth. But then he fell, to that !lender EvaGon, as . his lafr l\.efuge; That he meant,onely ,to coufen the King of Spttin, of the Money; And in that he continued, at his Arraignment; when, notwithfianding, at the firft, he did retraCt his own confeffion; And yet,. being asked, whither he was drawn, either by . Mean ofTorture, or promife of Life, to make the fame Confeffion, he did openly tefiifie) that no fuch Means, was ufed towards him. But the FaHhood of this Excufe, being an Allegation , that any Traytour may ufe, and provide for himfelf, is conviCted, by three notable Proofes. The firft, That he never opened this Matter, neither unto her Majefly, unto whom he had ordinary Acceffe; Nor to any Counfeller of state, to have permiffion, to tollog, and inveagle thefe Parties, with whom he did treat, ifit had been thought fo convenient. WhereiliJ, percafe, he had opportunity, to have done, fome good fervice, for the fluther Difcovery, ot their fecret Machinations, againfi her Majeflies Life. The fecond, that he came, too late, to this fhift; Having firfr bewrayed, his guilty Confcience, in denying thofe Treaties, and Confe· rences, till they were, evidently, and manifefl:Iy, proved to his Face. The third, that in conferring, with Ferrera, about the manner,ofhis affurance, he thought it better, to have the Money, in the Hands, of fuch Merchants, as he !hould name in Ant· : wc1·J!j__· A true R.eport of DoctJr Lopez b'iJ lreafon. rrerp ; then to have brought it into En l nd.
