The Star-Chamber, Volume 1

CHAPTER XII
4/18

It is not likely that this youth's headstrong temper, coupled with his fantastic notions of honour, will permit him to deny your worship's accusation, and therefore his confession being written down, and subscribed by himself, will be exhibited against him when he is brought to the bar of the Star-Chamber, and he will be judged _ex ore suo_.

Your worship will make quick work of it." "_Cum confitente reo citius est agendum_" replied Sir Giles.

"No one knows better than thou, good Lupo, how promptly and effectually the court of Star-Chamber will vindicate its authority, and how severely it will punish those who derogate from its dignity.

No part of the sentence shall be remitted with my consent.

This insolent youth shall suffer to the same extent as Lanyere.
