		According to both, Cobham and Ralegh stood accused of conspiring to foment rebellion and of inviting foreign invasion, intending by these means to depose and kill James I, murder his family, and establish Arabella Stuart on the throne in his place.
		Sir Walter, already questioned on the basis of that friendship about Cobham's recent behaviour, aggravated doubts over his loyalty by, in rapid succession, denying all knowledge of Cobham's schemes, informing the Council of suspicions newly bred in his mind, and assuring Cobham that he had revealed nothing capable of sinister construction.
		Though the provocation is now uncertain, Sir Walter appears to have cast all blame on Cecil's head; according to Cobham he had arrived full of discontent uppon certeine woords that that day as he sayed had passed betwen the lord Cecill and him'.(3) This discontent, as we might expect with Ralegh, had soon found expression.
