THE
TRVE
AND
wonderfull
History
of
PERKIN
WARBECK
.
THE
contentions
betweene
the
houses
of
Yorke
and
Lancaster
,
are
the
subiects
of
many
discourses
,
and
therefore
I
will
insist
the
lesse
either
vpon
Genealogies
,
Titles
,
Vsurpations
,
Warres
,
Factions
,
Encounters
,
Reuenges
,
Battails
,
Slaughters
,
or
other
accidentall
outrages
,
which
for
90.
yeares
filled
the
wrinckles
of
the
face
of
our
Common-wealth
of
England
,
with
the
blood
and
sweat
of
tenne
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
race
roiall
:
60
Dukes
and
Earles
:
1000
Lords
and
Knights
:
and
150000
Soldiers
and
people
.
Only
I
must
make
a
little
commorance
and
abiding
in
the
wretched
and
ragged
house
of
enuie
and
malice
,
gouerned
and
ouerseene
by
a
woman
,
who
was
so
opposite
and
aduerse
to
the
Lancastrian
family
,
that
for
all
King
Henry
the
seuenth
had
obtained
the
Crowne
by
a
strong
hand
;
and
as
we
say
,
diuinitùs
praemunitus
:
yea
,
debarred
all
Titles
,
or
fuming
shadowes
of
Titles
,
by
consummating
that
mariage
with
the
Lady
Elizabeth
eldest
daughter
of
Edward
the
fourth
:
she
yet
contriued
all
the
waies
of
his
ouerthrow
,
and
inuit
â
fortunâ
entertained
euery
occasion
,
which
might
adde
fuell
to
the
fier
of
her
inueterate
hate
,
and
blood-thirstie
humor
of
reuenge
,
as
if
she
had
beene
borne
like
certaine
Antipathies
in
nature
,
which
cannot
endure
any
neighbour-hood
or
commixture
:
such
as
the
Eugh
and
Palme
:
the
Figge
and
Vine
:
the
strings
of
Wolues
and
Sheep
,
which
makes
me
remember
the
story
of
Eteocles
and
Pollinices
the
sonnes
of
Oedipus
,
whose
hate
was
so
great
in
their
liues
,
that
after
death
,
the
bones
being
burnt
togeather
,
the
flame
of
the
sacrifice
deuided
asunder
.
This
was
Margaret
Dutches
of
Burgundy
,
Peter
Warbeck
a
Fleming
,
to
act
a
part
of
wonder
on
the
Stage
of
dangerous
Innouation
,
and
take
vpon
him
the
Title
of
Richard
the
fourth
Prince
of
England
,
and
white
Rose
of
the
same
:
But
before
I
play
the
Midwife
,
or
(
if
you
will
)
Phisitian
with
her
,
to
deliuer
her
wombe
of
this
monstrous
birth
of
Peter
Warbeck
,
whom
she
taught
the
cunning
and
audacious
impudency
of
personating
Richard
Duke
of
Yorke
murthered
with
his
brother
in
the
Tower
by
Richard
the
third
some
eight
yeare
before
.
I
thinke
it
not
impertinent
to
our
purpose
in
hand
,
to
tell
you
,
what
this
Lambert
was
,
and
wherein
he
seemed
cosened
with
the
whorish
smiles
of
an
adulterate
fortune
by
the
only
meanes
,
and
coadiutement
of
this
Dutches
of
Burgundy
.
The
first
and
second
yeares
of
Henry
the
seuenth
swelled
to
so
great
a
height
of
ioy
,
blessednesse
,
and
contentment
from
the
rivulets
of
King
Richards
slaughter
,
the
corroboration
of
his
estate
,
the
amity
of
the
Nobles
,
the
mariage
with
the
eldest
daughter
of
Yorke
,
the
birth
of
Prince
Arthur
,
the
league
and
amitie
of
forraine
Princes
,
and
the
applause
of
all
his
subiects
,
that
the
diuine
prouidence
thought
it
meet
to
temper
and
allay
the
excesse
of
the
same
with
some
mixtures
of
feares
and
displeasure
,
lest
mortalitie
might
presume
too
farre
,
and
man
triumph
,
that
his
owne
arme
of
flesh
had
contriued
his
establishment
.
So
that
the
Lord
Louel
;
Thomas
Stafford
,
with
Sir
Thomas
Broughton
and
diuers
others
,
attempted
a
dangerous
rebellion
,
and
drew
into
the
field
a
great
Army
against
the
King
;
whom
to
preuent
,
the
Duke
of
Bedford
with
such
forces
as
could
be
raised
on
a
soddain
,
made
hast
to
an
encounter
;
but
his
fortune
was
so
good
,
that
with
a
successefull
Oratory
,
not
striking
a
stroake
,
he
preuailed
to
dissipate
those
threatning
and
thickning
clouds
of
disturbance
.
For
after
he
had
intimated
the
hainousnes
of
their
transgression
,
&
nature
of
their
offences
,
which
were
capital
Treasons
,
&
with
al
inferred
the
Kings
great
mercy
,
which
was
willing
to
pardon
their
rashnesse
and
pitiful
ouersights
,
so
they
would
desist
,
and
retire
peaceably
into
their
Countries
:
the
whole
company
surceased
,
and
quietly
deposed
their
Armes
;
whereupon
,
the
Lord
Louel
fled
,
and
the
Staffords
tooke
Sanctuary
in
a
Village
called
Culnaham
two
miles
from
Abington
:
but
because
the
Iudges
of
the
law
alledged
that
the
Townes
of
refuge
among
the
Iewes
were
ordained
for
other
purposes
;
Humphrey
Stafford
was
taken
by
force
from
the
Towne
and
sent
to
the
Tower
,
from
whence
they
brought
him
to
Tyborne
,
and
there
put
him
to
execution
:
His
yonger
Brother
Thomas
was
notwithstanding
remitted
,
as
a
man
,
whom
consanguinitie
and
brother-hood
had
rather
deceiued
,
then
wilfulnesse
and
malice
against
the
King
abused
.
O
blessed
wisedome
!
that
can
so
temper
Iustice
with
the
consideration
of
mens
frailties
,
and
other
maleuolent
circumstances
to
keep
her
a
while
from
contracting
a
brow
of
reuenge
vpon
euery
offender
,
and
had
rather
draw
some
men
to
a
sweet
obedience
from
their
penetencie
and
newnesse
of
life
,
then
cut
off
other-some
by
the
strong
hand
of
execution
:
and
thus
in
other
cases
of
State
it
many
times
chanceth
,
that
euen
accessaries
are
condemned
,
when
the
principals
go
free
;
yea
,
in
the
highest
degree
of
Treason
,
which
is
displaying
of
colours
,
and
taking
vp
Armes
against
a
Prince
;
it
is
sometimes
better
taken
in
action
,
then
in
consultation
:
yet
is
there
no
presuming
on
fauor
in
any
of
these
cases
,
nor
taking
hands
with
example
to
trace
in
the
by
paths
of
any
indirect
courses
.
But
as
mischiefes
according
to
Euripides
seldome
come
alone
,
and
vnd●
vndam
sequitur
:
so
presently
vpon
the
neck
of
this
followed
a
strange
and
wonderfull
trouble
,
through
the
insurrection
of
one
Lambert
Siminel
taking
vpon
him
the
person
of
Edward
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
Richard
Simond
a
Priest
,
who
was
so
hasty
in
his
accounts
,
and
forward
in
his
reckonings
,
that
he
presently
proiected
,
that
if
Lambert
could
be
King
,
he
should
be
an
Arch-bishop
at
least
:
O
manifest
a
phrenesis
!
whereby
the
way
you
may
obserue
,
that
neuer
enterprise
was
atchieued
to
the
dissipation
of
Monarchies
and
translation
of
Kingdomes
;
neuer
mischiefe
set
on
foot
,
nor
wickednesse
put
on
the
wings
of
preuailing
:
but
from
the
contriuance
and
coadiutement
of
a
Priest
,
&
such
men
as
professed
the
Religion
of
tho●e
times
,
as
in
Histories
may
appeare
.
But
if
you
descend
into
Europe
,
and
come
lower
amongst
our selues
,
I
dare
say
,
that
from
the
conquest
to
this
hower
,
all
exorbitant
actions
,
dangerous
attempts
,
terrible
enforcements
,
neuer
heard
of
Projects
,
and
monstrous
commotions
to
the
effusion
of
Christian
blood
,
and
weakning
the
glory
of
our
kingdome
,
haue
beene
atchieved
,
and
furthered
by
the
meanes
of
Popish
Priests
and
Iesuites
,
and
the
damnable
Doctrines
and
instructions
of
their
associates
,
meere
hypocrites
both
in
life
and
Doctrine
:
yea
,
that
monstrous
terror
of
Christendome
,
the
family
of
Ottaman
,
and
religion
of
Mahomet
was
blowne
so
big
,
as
you
see
it
in
the
furnace
of
Sergius
a
counterfeit
Monke
,
and
now
set
on
the
Throne
of
imperiousnesse
through
his
supportation
and
assistance
in
composing
the
Alcaron
.
When
this
our
Priest
Richard
Simond
,
or
Versepelles
Sinon
,
well
perceiued
and
vnderstood
the
gentle
condition
and
pregnancy
of
this
Lambert
,
he
wrought
most
cunningly
vpon
him
,
and
thought
him
a
fit
instrument
to
hammer
out
the
diuelish
plots
he
proiected
,
whereby
questionlesse
you
may
apprehend
the
cunning
and
malice
of
Sathan
who
can
entangle
men
with
such
strange
illusions
,
Medeae
faciunt
ad
scelus
omne
manus
:
So
was
he
led
by
the
hands
of
this
Priest
,
who
was
now
set
vpon
nothing
but
wickednesse
,
and
at
the
last
plunged
into
the
Sea
of
turmoiles
.
But
the
chiefe
originall
of
this
disturbance
arose
from
a
certaine
fame
,
and
report
,
that
King
Edwards
children
were
not
dead
,
but
secretly
conueied
into
some
other
Country
,
as
Edward
surnamed
the
Outlaw
had
in
former
times
beene
into
Hungary
,
and
that
Edward
Earle
of
Warwicks
should
be
shortly
put
to
death
:
O
simple
men
!
and
oh
vaine
multitude
!
that
are
caried
away
with
euery
winde
,
belieue
vnconstant
reports
,
rely
on
foolish
prophesies
,
and
runne
along
with
vncertaine
rumors
,
which
makes
me
remember
one
of
and
so
changed
Lamberts
name
into
Edward
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
actio
nulla
laudata
nisi
peracta
,
and
therfore
some
thing
must
bee
done
to
set
the
people
on
worke
,
though
it
were
with
throwing
firebrands
of
diuision
and
falsity
amongst
them
,
euen
to
the
dazling
of
their
eyes
with
smoake
,
and
casting
the
sparks
about
their
eares
:
wherupon
both
craftily
and
audaciously
he
put
his
businesse
to
the
triall
and
sailed
with
his
pupill
ouer
into
Ireland
,
where
his
Grand-father
and
Ancestors
had
gotten
such
loue
and
respect
,
that
euen
the
name
of
Mortimer
and
Yorke
was
sanctified
and
religious
amongst
them
:
For
barbarous
nations
are
strong
obseruers
of
ceremonies
&
customes
,
and
whatsoeuer
hath
taken
root
and
impression
amongst
them
,
will
hardly
be
remoued
or
extinguished
,
as
it
is
too
lamentably
apparant
at
this
houre
,
where
the
imposturing
of
Priests
hath
got
the
vpper
hand
of
all
religion
and
piety
,
and
to
sweare
by
Oneales
hand
,
is
of
more
efficacy
,
then
to
call
God
and
Heauen
to
witnesse
.
Heere
he
smoothly
made
relation
of
his
owne
,
and
the
Princes
fortunes
,
and
escape
to
certaine
of
the
Nobility
,
especially
of
Geraldines
,
whom
hee
knew
euery
way
transpo●ted
against
the
present
gouernment
,
enlarging
his
discourse
with
his
miraculous
preseruation
,
when
without
law
,
or
other
enforcement
,
he
should
haue
been
cruelly
put
to
death
by
the
Vsurper
,
and
brought
in
question
for
neuer-●eard-of
treason
,
all
which
,
by
Gods
prouidence
and
his
assistance
,
was
iudiciously
preuented
,
and
hee
had
from
a
meere
commiseration
of
a
Princes
estate
,
aduentured
himselfe
in
that
manner
,
and
to
such
a
place
,
where
he
supposed
true-hearted
honour
was
resident
,
and
care
of
religion
and
humanity
maintained
.
Whereupon
Th.
Geral●ine
Lord
Chancellour
of
the
Kingdome
defrauded
by
this
illusion
,
—
&
errorem
vocis
,
vt
omen
,
amo
,
Clapt
their
hands
for
ioy
,
that
they
should
bee
employed
in
an
enterprize
of
such
wonder
and
important
greatnesse
:
whereupon
money
,
horse
,
armour
,
men
,
and
all
things
else
were
promised
,
which
might
be
aduantagious
to
such
a
businesse
.
But
alas
,
Ireland
was
too
weake
,
and
of
themselues
they
did
onely
discouer
their
malice
,
curbed
yet
with
insufficiency
,
giuing
the
King
notice
,
how
their
wills
exceeded
their
power
,
and
that
they
were
ready
to
entertaine
euerie
opportunitie
to
doe
any
mischeefe
.
Therefore
they
sent
ouer
into
England
,
acquainting
many
discontented
persons
with
the
businesse
:
but
most
principally
,
as
to
the
life
of
their
actions
,
they
submitted
to
Margaret
Duches
of
Burgundy
,
sister
of
King
Edward
the
fourth
,
for
her
directions
.
This
was
a
woman
of
a
wonderfull
composure
,
so
adorned
with
princely
qualities
,
Robert
Willoughby
:
Yet
insatiate
in
her
hate
and
so
consequently
in
her
reuenge
:
Nam
ingentes
parturit
ira
minas
:
She
admitted
of
euerie
motion
of
disturbance
,
and
inuented
meanes
of
her
owne
,
to
set
in
combustion
the
whole
s●ate
of
England
,
vnder
a
hopefull
pretence
to
see
the
King
ouerthrowne
and
supplanted
.
Thus
did
she
pile
vp
together
the
fire
of
this
disturbance
,
and
countenanced
the
matter
more
with
her
greatnesse
and
power
,
then
all
the
other
complices
besides
:
but
if
you
aske
me
,
how
she
continued
in
this
authority
,
being
a
widow
,
amongst
strangers
,
and
enemie
to
so
great
a
Prince
as
the
King
of
England
:
I
will
answer
in
a
word
,
and
measure
out
the
cheefe
and
principall
cord
that
bound
her
royaltie
together
.
Charles
Duke
of
Burgoine
,
hauing
married
this
Lady
Margaret
,
daughter
to
Richard
Duke
of
Yorke
,
and
sister
to
Edward
the
fourth
,
had
yet
no
issue
by
her
,
but
left
one
sole
daughter
behinde
him
named
Mary
,
which
hee
had
by
his
first
wife
the
daughter
of
the
Duke
of
Bourbon
:
this
was
married
to
Maximilian
sonne
to
Frederick
the
Emperour
,
by
whom
he
had
two
Princes
,
Philip
and
Margaret
,
which
children
after
the
death
of
the
Lady
Mary
their
mother
,
this
Lady
Margaret
Duches
Dowager
so
entirely
beloued
,
so
tenderly
brought
vp
,
so
motherly
nourished
,
and
so
carefully
preserued
,
that
she
was
highly
reputed
of
,
and
esteemed
for
the
same
:
To
which
,
when
she
added
a
politique
ordring
her
affaires
,
both
for
the
maintenance
of
their
honour
,
and
administration
of
Iustice
in
the
Common-wealth
:
so
that
I
may
say
with
the
ancient
Poet
,
In
this
Orb
of
reputation
thus
moouing
herselfe
,
she
still
shined
like
a
full
planet
,
from
whose
influence
could
proceede
nothing
but
sweet
presages
,
till
stepping
aside
into
a
contrary
motion
of
despight
and
rankor
against
the
King
,
as
an
enemie
to
knowledge
and
her
owne
conscience
,
she
countenanced
this
ridiculous
&
yet
vnhappy
coniuration
,
which
by
her
meanes
grew
apace
,
like
broad
and
stinking
burs
,
vnprofitable
in
themselues
,
and
spoiling
all
the
grasse
about
them
,
vntill
at
last
they
were
by
a
politique
hand
of
preuention
pull'd
vp
by
the
roots
,
and
cast
vnder
foot
into
the
dirt
.
For
when
King
Henry
was
certefied
of
all
these
tumults
and
comminations
,
and
knew
the
deepnesse
and
fulnesse
of
the
channell
,
in
which
the
tottered
barke
of
this
rebellion
steered
,
he
verily
supposed
the
best
point
of
wisdome
was
principi●s
obstare
,
and
so
attempted
with
all
care
and
vigilancy
to
turne
the
rage
of
those
troubles
another
way
,
or
else
to
preuent
them
from
flowing
ouer
the
banks
of
his
enclosures
,
and
although
the
collusion
&
fraud
of
the
inuention
,
vexed
him
more
then
the
matter
or
substance
of
such
a
rebellion
:
yet
hee
moderated
his
anger
,
and
with
Ianus
looked
both
waies
,
smiling
with
one
face
at
the
ridiculousnesse
and
deceit
of
the
proiect
:
and
marking
warily
with
another
,
all
the
meanes
to
redact
the
confused
Chaos
of
this
molestation
to
better
order
and
vniformity
,
desiring
onely
at
Gods
hands
to
preuent
effusion
of
bloud
,
which
must
needes
bee
spilt
in
any
settled
warre
and
contracted
army
.
Besides
,
in
well
ordred
battells
,
the
euent
was
disputable
,
and
many
times
punishments
were
ordained
,
as
well
to
reduce
good
men
ad
correctionem
and
amendment
,
as
to
bring
bad
men
to
ruinam
and
destruction
.
And
therfore
if
it
were
possible
,
he
would
rebate
the
insolency
by
other
meanes
,
and
diuert
it
from
handy
blowes
and
bloudy
contentions
:
whereupon
he
called
his
Councell
together
at
the
Charter-house
besides
his
royal
mannour
of
Richmond
and
there
consulted
,
how
to
pacifie
this
sudden
tumult
and
conspiracy
,
without
any
further
disturbance
or
open
defiance
.
This
motion
of
the
Kings
so
tempered
with
grauity
,
mercy
,
and
commiseration
,
was
so
well
accepted
of
the
whole
company
,
that
they
presently
applauded
his
high
wisdome
,
and
religious
care
,
and
put
in
practise
,
whatsoeuer
seemed
conuenient
for
their
intended
affaires
.
They
first
began
with
a
generall
pardon
,
published
to
all
offenders
that
were
content
to
receiue
the
same
,
Th.
Broughton
,
who
had
obscured
the
Lord
Louell
a
great
season
from
the
King
,
was
in
a
manner
ready
to
giue
him
battell
,
with
many
friendly
coadiutors
and
a
well-settled
army
:
yet
did
the
King
thinke
it
policie
to
desist
from
a
forcible
ouerrunning
them
;
because
,
as
desperate
of
life
or
pardon
,
considering
their
former
treasons
and
abuses
,
they
would
hardly
be
reclaimed
in
their
rages
,
but
now
fight
for
their
liues
and
liberties
.
Againe
,
in
shewing
exemplarie
Iustice
vpon
them
,
once
subiect
to
accusation
or
condemnation
,
he
must
needes
proceed
against
many
,
yea
such
whose
offences
in
standing
out
,
could
admit
of
no
pardon
:
and
therefore
(
as
I
sayd
)
he
gently
proclaimed
the
same
,
which
was
much
auailable
to
his
purpose
.
For
euen
those
,
which
fauoured
the
Lord
Louell
most
,
began
to
stagger
in
their
resolutions
,
when
they
perceiued
the
Kings
benignitie
,
and
knew
with
what
lenitie
and
commiseration
he
was
willing
to
proceede
.
Secondly
,
they
thought
it
necessary
and
pertinent
to
their
peace
,
to
shew
the
sonne
of
Clarence
personally
abroad
in
the
Citie
,
and
other
publike
places
,
whereby
the
rumor
might
be
dashed
out
of
countenance
,
and
the
purblinde
eies
of
false
opinion
extinguished
.
For
such
an
impression
this
●ictiue
relation
of
his
escape
had
made
,
that
though
they
beheld
him
present
,
yet
durst
some
of
them
sweare
,
it
was
but
a
deuise
of
the
Kings
:
whereby
you
may
obserue
the
danger
and
inconueniences
of
idle
reports
,
which
if
they
be
not
strangled
in
the
cradle
with
Hercules
Serpents
,
and
smothered
betimes
,
ere
they
come
to
stronger
groth
and
life
,
will
viper
like
after
they
haue
receiued
warmth
in
ones
bosome
,
fly
in
his
face
:
Nay
,
such
is
the
nature
of
deuices
in
a
tottering
Common-wealth
,
that
prohibitions
to
restraine
them
,
augment
them
the
more
,
and
they
who
would
haue
spoken
nothing
but
truth
,
left
to
their
owne
liberty
;
being
prohibi●ed
,
diuulge
more
then
they
meant
.
Thirdly
,
It
was
determined
,
that
Queene
Elizabeth
wife
to
Edward
the
fourth
should
loose
her
lands
,
and
be
deposed
from
all
manner
of
sway
in
the
gouernment
,
because
she
had
voluntarily
submitted
her selfe
and
daughters
to
the
hands
of
King
Richard
,
whereby
all
former
contract●
and
pretences
of
establishment
might
haue
beene
frustrated
,
through
the
inconstancie
of
a
woman
:
or
as
the
State
pretended
a
priuate
ambition
,
or
couetousnesse
to
set
any
loome
on
worke
to
weaue
the
web
of
her
owne
pleasure
and
contentment
,
which
although
was
a
heinous
crime
,
and
very
dangerous
to
the
present
Kings
peace
and
tranquillitie
:
yet
,
questionlesse
the
doome
and
iudgement
seemed
ouer
rigorous
:
Durus
fuit
hic
sermo
,
and
if
euer
〈◊〉
ius
proued
summa
iniuria
,
it
was
verified
in
this
verdict
.
For
questionlesse
they
forgot
the
turbulency
of
those
times
,
the
rage
of
the
tyrant
,
the
fearefulnesse
of
many
accidents
,
the
seducing●
of
a
King
,
and
the
flattering
promises
of
a
whole
Common-wealth
,
wherein
stronger
iudgements
might
haue
falled
then
a
womans
:
But
it
should
seeme
that
God
hath
a
speciall
hand
in
the
punishment
of
sinnes
,
and
disposing
of
Kingdomes
.
For
without
controuersie
,
if
she
consented
to
the
murthering
of
King
Richards
wife
for
her
owne
ease
and
emolument
,
if
she
seemed
an
aduersary
to
the
good
pretended
,
to
England
by
vniting
the
●amilies
:
or
if
she
proiected
her
owne
aduancement
in
the
present
glory
of
the
Kingdome
,
forgetting
the
losse
of
her
husband
,
the
murther
of
her
kindred
,
the
slaughter
of
her
children
,
the
odiousnesse
of
the
incest
,
and
the
curse
of
Heauen
vpon
crying
sins
:
God
would
neuer
suffer
such
horrible
faults
vnreuenged
,
but
as
you
heare
inflicted
her
wauering
and
inconsiderate
timerousnesse
with
this
punishment
:
For
,
she
was
presently
confined
to
the
Abbey
of
Barmondsey
in
Southwarke
,
and
there
deceased
after
she
had
liued
a
while
in
some
calamitous
distresse
,
and
excruciation
both
of
soule
and
body
:
such
are
all
humane
instabilities
,
wordly
chances
,
and
the
condition
of
Princes
themselues
.
Otherwise
,
she
that
being
a
poore
widow
had
resisted
the
Kings
importunity
,
&
by
her
chast
and
modest
behauiour
attracted
his
good
will
to
marry
her
:
she
that
had
founded
a
Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
bearing
her
name
at
this
hower
of
Queenes
Colledge
,
for
the
propagation
of
learning
,
and
education
of
Children
and
Students
:
she
,
that
had
loued
her
husband
,
and
the
glory
of
England
,
endeauouring
all
things
to
the
augmentation
of
the
honor
of
them
both
:
she
,
that
seemed
proud
in
workes
of
charity
,
and
to
help
forward
the
petitions
of
honest
complainants
and
distressed
suiters
:
she
,
that
kneeled
on
her
knees
for
Clarences
liberty
,
and
importuned
the
King
to
remember
his
brother
,
by
the
example
of
Richard
the
first
,
who
remitted
his
brother
Iohn
a
farre
greater
delinquent
;
had
neuer
fallen
so
low
into
the
dangerous
pit
of
a
sonne
in
lawes
displeasure
,
and
seene
her selfe
generally
maligned
through
the
kingdome
:
or
else
,
as
I
said
,
the
reuealed
things
belong
to
vs
,
the
secret
to
God
,
who
questionlesse
blew
the
coales
of
this
displeasure
,
to
purge
the
contagion
and
infection
of
hi●
heart
,
which
was
only
knowne
to
himselfe
.
Fourthly
,
because
they
knew
that
reward
and
hope
of
gaine
might
doe
much
with
corrupted
persons
,
and
irresolute
men
(
as
all
Rebels
were
)
they
proclaimed
a
gratuity
of
a●housand
pounds
sterling
to
any
one
which
would
present
the
State
with
the
body
of
this
counterfeit
Lambert
,
to
which
they
were
the
rather
induced
,
because
not
long
before
,
the
Tyrant
Richard
the
third
had
preuailed
with
the
like
against
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
whom
his
owne
seruant
Banister
betraied
in
hope
of
recompence
from
the
State
,
which
is
also
a
custome
in
Italy
,
where
the
heads
of
the
Banditi
are
vallued
at
so
many
checkinos
or
peeces
of
gold
,
and
so
the
Zaffi
,
or
other
desperate
Ruffiani
obtaine
many
preies
and
booties
.
Last
of
all
,
it
was
concluded
to
haue
forces
in
readinesse
,
and
an
Army
prepared
,
whatsoeuer
should
chance
,
with
all
prouision
and
furniture
belonging
to
the
setting
forth
of
the
same
,
and
honour
of
such
a
Kingdome
,
that
neither
security
or
presumption
one
way
of
their
owne
greatnesse
and
establishment
,
might
make
them
too
confident
of
themselues
,
nor
vilipending
and
slight
regard
of
the
contrary
,
another
way
too
negligent
against
their
enemies
.
When
all
things
were
thus
befitted
to
the
disposing
and
ordering
their
affaires
:
On
a
Sunday
ensuing
,
Edward
the
yong
Earle
of
Warwick
was
brought
from
the
Tower
through
the
publike
streetes
of
London
to
the
Cathedrall
Church
of
Pauls
,
But
it
was
not
so
with
all
:
For
,
as
it
often
happens
in
the
stopping
of
a
violent
inundation
of
water
,
that
it
causeth
it
the
more
to
rage
and
make
a
terrible
noice
,
whereas
running
in
a
deep
channell
it
would
goe
quietly
away
:
So
fell
it
out
in
the
suppressing
of
these
rumors
,
and
mens
hatred
and
malice
:
many
were
the
more
exasperated
,
and
by
this
gentle
and
saire
course
to
reduce
them
,
thought
all
but
trickes
of
policie
to
deceiue
them
;
proouing
like
certaine
kinds
of
burs
and
nettles
,
which
soughtly
handled
sting
the
more
violently
,
but
hardly
crushed
together
lose
their
force
and
energie
.
Of
this
sort
was
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
de
la
Pooles
sonne
Duke
of
Sus●
folke
by
a
sister
of
Edward
the
fourth
.
sonne
to
Iohn
de
la
Poole
Duke
of
Suffolke
;
The
number
amounts
to
so
many
,
if
men
faile
not
in
their
computations
:
I
dare
not
iustifie
it
further
then
one
my
credit
another
,
with
such
like
.
Yea
,
in
his
enterprises
he
was
both
curious
and
Roman
like
for
stricknesse
of
discipline
,
yet
valiant
enough
:
To
conclude
in
a
word
,
had
not
the
mantle
of
greatnesse
ouer-couered
his
gesture
and
actions
,
the
same
garbe
and
fashion
in
an
inferior
might
haue
beene
thought
ridiculous
:
but
to
our
purpose
in
han●
.
When
he
apprehended
a
kind
of
feare
and
iealosie
in
King
Henry
through
this
false
rumor
,
he
determined
with
the
same
water
that
draue
the
Mil
to
drowne
it
,
and
out
of
this
fiction
to
raise
a
matter
of
consequence
,
whereupon
he
presently
repaired
to
Sir
Thomas
Broughton
and
others
,
who
like
the
Theeues
of
Aegypt
lying
in
the
reedes
by
the
Riuer
Nilus
,
breaking
out
vpon
any
hope
of
aduantage
vpon
the
silly
passengers
,
watched
all
occasions
to
be
reuenged
on
the
King
,
and
yet
could
render
no
iust
account
of
their
discontentments
,
and
after
diuers
consultations
,
concluded
to
saile
into
Flaeunders
to
his
Aunt
the
Duches
,
being
his
Mothers
owne
sister
,
and
so
without
further
commorance
,
after
the
King
had
dissolued
the
Parliament
at
London
,
put
the
same
in
practise
,
whither
he
was
well
commed
with
all
worthy
and
kind
embraces
.
Not
long
after
Francis
Lord
Louel
repaired
vnto
him
well
accompanied
,
where
for
the
time
secured
,
and
assembling
themselues
with
this
Position
,
that
omnia
efficit
consilium
,
quod
&
ferrum
hostile
efficere
potest
,
lest
the
World
should
laugh
them
to
scorne
,
for
prosecuting
idle
and
vaine
attempts
,
But
King
Henry
supposing
he
had
setled
and
appeased
the
minds
and
vnstable
humours
of
his
Nobilitie
,
by
the
personall
presence
of
Edward
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
began
to
be
lesse
moued
and
disturbed
,
yea
,
as
it
were
secure
and
carelesse
of
any
further
malice
and
dangerous
attempt
against
his
estate
and
dignitie
,
mistrusting
nothing
lesse
,
then
any
man
to
be
so
foolish
and
mad
,
as
to
belieue
that
Lambert
could
be
the
Earle
:
so
that
he
coniectured
nothing
,
but
the
suppressing
of
those
barbarous
Irish
,
and
the
sedation
of
that
trouble
,
vntill
he
heard
how
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
was
fled
out
of
the
Realme
,
vntill
he
heard
how
the
Lord
Louel
was
confederate
with
him
,
vntil
he
heard
how
diuers
were
vnited
vnto
them
,
vntill
he
heard
how
the
Duches
of
Burgoine
coadiuted
the
enterprise
,
vntill
he
heard
they
had
raised
a
strong
party
,
and
were
resolued
to
giue
him
battaile
;
this
somewhat
moued
him
,
and
exasperated
his
displeasure
:
For
when
he
saw
no
other
cataplasme
could
serue
the
turne
,
but
that
he
must
cauterise
the
sore
,
and
sere
and
cut
away
the
putrified
flesh
of
this
corrupted
and
rebellious
body
,
he
determined
with
strong
hand
and
martiall
power
to
doe
the
same
.
Whereupon
he
commanded
his
Musters
to
goe
forward
,
Thus
what
he
could
not
with
the
Foxes
,
he
was
faine
to
compas
with
the
Lions
skin
,
&
yet
knowing
,
that
Victoria
est
tota
●ita
in
bona
consultation●
,
he
did
not
cast
away
the
other
,
but
when
he
saw
no
Councell
nor
policie
could
either
l●niat
their
obduratnesse
,
nor
diuert
their
inficious
intents
against
him
,
he
resolued
with
an
equall
strength
,
to
remoue
the
blocks
of
his
peace
and
quietnesse
,
cast
thus
in
his
way
by
flagitious
contumacy
and
ridiculous
innouation
.
But
some
fires
are
not
so
easily
quenched
,
as
raised
or
maintained
:
for
though
all
his
aduises
,
and
good
order
consorted
with
successe
,
yet
were
they
not
sufficient
to
stop
the
mouth
,
or
hinder
the
passage
of
the
present
disturbance
with
deputies
or
Commissioners
:
therefore
he
set
forward
in
person
,
supposing
they
would
arriue
from
Flanders
side
on
some
of
those
Coasts
,
and
so
came
to
Saint
Edmonds
Bury
:
where
he
was
certified
,
that
the
Lord
Thomas
Marquesse
Dorcet
was
comming
to
him
to
excuse
and
purge
himselfe
of
those
crimes
enforced
against
him
,
or
at
least
such
ouersights
,
in
which
he
perfunctorily
performed
his
duty
while
he
was
in
France
.
To
him
was
sent
the
Earle
of
Oxford
by
way
of
anticipation
to
intercept
at
this
time
his
iourney
:
For
the
King
was
too
full
of
troubles
and
cogitations
about
the
suppressing
his
enemies
and
new
raised
tumults
,
and
so
could
not
attend
his
businesse
:
From
thence
the
King
went
to
Norwich
,
where
he
solemnised
the
feast
of
Christmas
,
and
so
departed
to
Walsingham
vnder
pretence
of
deuotion
,
as
the
superstition
of
those
times
coacted
.
For
according
to
that
ancient
Poet
:
Ritus
ver●
extra
Iusticiam
sunt
,
In
the
meane
while
,
the
fire-brand
and
fuell
of
this
contention
,
Lady
Margaret
Duches
of
Burgundy
,
had
blowne
the
coales
to
such
a
heat
,
that
there
were
two
thousand
Almaines
in
a
readinesse
,
Martin
Swart
a
noble
man
of
Germanie
,
and
a
martiall
man
by
profession
,
bold
,
expert
,
and
daring
,
whom
after
great
rewards
,
and
secret
directions
from
a
well
contracted
Oratory
,
she
sent
into
Ireland
with
al
his
company
,
where
they
ariued
a●
Dublin
,
and
were
ioyfully
welcomed
by
the
Prince
and
the
other
Lords
the
coufederates
,
especially
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
who
well
knew
,
that
no
enterprise
was
to
be
entertained
without
men
and
money
,
and
good
beginnings
were
the
drawers
on
of
successe
in
the
end
.
Thus
they
made
no
more
adoe
,
but
in
the
pride
and
strength
of
their
conspiracy
,
they
proclaimed
yong
Lambert
King
of
England
,
withall
the
glorious
titles
,
and
glorious
manner
appropriat
,
as
the
time
and
Countrie
afforded
,
which
ended
,
with
other
ceremonies
and
some
circumstances
,
to
set
as
vpright
their
businesse
as
they
could
,
they
protracted
no
time
,
but
knowing
the
secret
of
expedition
,
which
as
their
case
stood
,
must
be
their
best
friend
,
prepared
for
England
:
the
Army
consisting
(
as
yet
principally
)
of
high
Almaines
,
and
a
multitude
of
beggerly
Irish
,
which
according
to
the
Roman
saying
,
were
many
men
,
and
few
Soldiers
.
For
their
best
defences
were
Scains
and
Mantles
,
and
heere
and
there
a
slender
dart
,
more
fitter
for
a
maigame
and
to
moue
wonderment
,
then
to
oppose
against
good
defences
,
and
well
ordred
troopes
.
Thomas
Gerardine
was
Captaine
,
and
with
these
and
the
rest
,
they
landed
for
a
speciall
purpose
(
or
if
you
will
to
vni●e
themselues
with
Sir
Thomas
Broughton
,
one
of
the
chiefe
commanders
in
this
vnhappy
conspiracy
)
at
the
Pile
of
Foudray
within
a
little
of
Lancaster
.
These
affaires
so
notorious
,
and
so
publike
,
could
not
haue
so
secret
a
passage
and
contriuance
,
but
the
worthy
and
wise
King
must
needes
be
made
acquainted
with
the
same
:
whereupon
he
dispatched
certaine
horse
and
scout-masters
,
through
the
West
parts
of
the
Realme
,
to
attend
the
arriuall
of
his
enemies
abroad
:
yea
,
peraduenture
to
ouerwatch
the
actions
of
his
friends
at
home
,
as
much
troubled
with
the
vnconstancy
of
these
,
as
perturbed
with
the
rebellion
of
them
.
Presently
after
he
raised
a
sufficient
Armie
,
ouer
which
the
Duke
of
Bedford
,
and
Earle
of
Oxford
were
principall
commanders
,
whom
he
sent
forward
before
him
,
then
he
came
in
person
to
Couentrey
,
where
the
principall
rendezuous
was
appointed
,
and
where
he
first
heard
of
the
landing
of
his
enemies
.
Within
a
while
he
could
fill
vp
a
scedule
with
the
chiefe
Traitors
names
,
and
the
manner
of
their
troopes
and
proceedings
:
Last
of
all
,
he
called
a
Councell
,
proposing
only
two
principall
matters
vnto
them
:
First
,
whether
it
were
better
to
encounter
with
his
enemies
out
of
hand
,
as
Achitophel
perswaded
Absalom
to
do
against
Dauid
,
and
so
to
dissipate
them
by
maine
force
and
expedition
,
according
to
the
Poet
:
Tolle
moras
:
Secondly
,
or
weary
them
out
by
delaies
and
detracting
of
time
,
as
Quintus
Fabius
surnamed
after
Maximus
did
by
Hannibal
,
and
so
sent
him
far
enough
from
Rome
into
Brutia
and
Apuleia
,
whereupon
he
was
eternized
with
,
Vnus
homo
nobis
cunctando
restituit
rem
.
The
conclusion
was
,
that
though
many
times
great
Armies
,
whose
fury
at
the
first
rushes
could
not
be
rebated
,
were
at
last
spent
with
time
,
expectation
,
and
many
inconueniences
;
as
want
of
pay
,
commotions
,
mutinies
,
encombrances
in
a
strange
Country
,
feare
of
forraine
people
,
mortalitie
,
famine
,
and
such
like
:
yet
as
the
affaires
of
the
Kingdome
stood
,
all
speed
and
an
orderly
festination
was
to
be
put
in
practise
,
lest
(
like
a
ball
of
snow
in
a
moist
,
cold
,
and
misty
Country
,
which
by
often
rowling
groweth
greater
and
greater
)
they
might
augment
their
numbers
with
their
rage
and
madnesse
,
being
so
neere
the
Scots
open
enemies
,
and
in
the
north
parts
dissembling
friends
:
Whereupon
the
King
remooued
to
Nottingham
,
and
tooke
a
field
neere
vnto
a
wood
called
Bowers
,
whither
came
vnto
him
the
Lord
George
Talbot
Earle
of
Shrewsbury
,
Iohn
Cheny
,
and
many
other
Commanders
,
with
sufficient
forces
and
furniture
,
to
encounter
better
men
then
heauy
Almaines
and
vnarmed
Irish
,
and
so
the
Kings
army
wonderfully
encreased
,
&
had
the
fulnesse
of
his
subiects
obedience
,
to
his
great
satisfaction
,
and
the
comfort
of
all
the
rest
.
For
a
Prince
can
in
nothing
bee
so
well
pleased
,
as
in
the
loyalty
,
loue
,
and
obseruation
of
the
subiect
:
nor
the
souldier
contented
,
as
in
the
amity
and
full
assurance
of
one
another
,
especially
being
all
of
a
nation
and
language
,
to
vnderstand
the
wants
of
such
as
would
be
supplied
,
and
be
releeued
with
the
willingnesse
of
those
which
are
ready
to
performe
the
same
.
In
this
space
,
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
entred
Yorke-shire
by
easie
iournies
,
for
not
ouerwearying
his
princely
Nephew
vnaccustomed
to
trauell
,
and
after
his
precize
manner
,
hee
both
commanded
,
that
no
violence
should
be
offered
to
any
of
the
Inhabitants
,
&
commended
all
those
,
which
repaired
vnto
him
,
vsing
such
humility
and
affable
demeanour
,
that
it
wan
the
hearts
of
many
as
yet
vnsettled
,
vnto
him
,
and
strengthened
the
loue
of
such
,
as
had
already
submitted
themselues
.
Notwithstanding
,
being
much
frustrated
in
his
expectation
of
many
coadiutors
,
and
failing
in
that
sufficiency
which
hee
presumed
vpon
,
hee
began
a
little
to
entertaine
an
ill
companion
to
all
noble
designes
,
feare
and
mistrust
;
casting
vp
an
vntoward
reckoning
of
his
proceedings
in
this
manner
:
To
retire
backe
againe
,
were
to
meet
death
and
destruction
by
a
way
which
he
looked
not
for
:
To
goe
forward
,
hee
was
yet
too
weake
,
the
King
being
so
strong
and
enabled
,
which
irresolution
made
the
Poet
cry
out
:
Non
satis
est
muris
latebras
quaesisse
pauori
?
And
againe
:
—
facilis
sed
vertere
mentes
Terror
erat
,
dubiamque
fidem
fortuna
ferebat
:
At
last
remembring
,
that
audaces
fortun●
iuuat
,
and
the
aduentures
of
warre
are
not
alwaies
bound
to
numbers
and
multitude
.
For
King
Henry
himselfe
had
,
not
two
yeeres
before
(
with
a
small
power
)
vanquished
King
Richard
and
his
mightie
armie
,
he
absolutely
determined
to
trie
the
fortune
of
a
battell
,
The
valiant
and
ouer-hardy
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
nothing
terrified
at
the
matter
,
but
rather
—
duro
ad●isit
gaudia
v●ltu
,
And
came
forward
apace
:
yet
not
in
anie
ouer-daring
manner
;
but
vnstartled
in
his
resolutions
,
retained
his
accustomed
grauity
,
and
verie
neere
the
Kings
armie
,
at
a
village
called
Stoke
,
quartred
his
forces
,
and
tooke
vp
the
field
,
with
resolution
the
next
day
,
To
tell
you
of
any
signes
,
wonders
,
prodegies
,
prophesies
,
dreames
,
deuises
,
forewarnings
,
or
portentous
accidents
,
making
sometimes
a
cause
either
good
or
bad
,
would
spend
time
to
lose
time
,
and
procure
small
thankes
in
the
paines
:
For
the
superstitious
and
ignorant
would
bee
angrie
,
at
the
opposition
and
repugnancy
:
and
the
truely
religious
offended
at
the
vanity
and
superfluity
,
as
abhorring
the
participation
of
diuine
power
to
Men
,
Deuills
,
or
Angells
.
To
enlarge
my
discourse
concerning
militarie
proceedings
,
of
entrenchings
,
fortifications
,
encounters
,
diuisions
of
squadrons
,
ordring
the
companies
,
&
setting
forward
the
forces
,
would
preuent
me
from
a
fitter
and
more
opportune
occasion
heereafter
.
To
discourse
of
the
Captaines
,
the
Souldiers
encouragements
,
the
Earle
of
Lincolnes
orations
,
the
Kings
forcible
and
gracious
speech
,
the
intimation
of
the
imposture
,
and
discouery
of
the
treasons
at
large
,
were
to
prolong
the
history
without
further
profit
,
then
a
poore
inuention
,
which
would
questionlesse
extenuate
the
worthinesse
of
the
businesse
:
therefore
I
desist
from
all
extraneall
and
superfluous
discourses
,
and
apply
my selfe
to
a
more
succinct
enarration
of
the
matter
.
When
the
field
was
fully
and
orderly
agreed
vpon
,
Lullal
lullo
,
which
neither
affrighted
nor
troubled
the
English
on
the
contrary
side
,
but
ministred
occasion
rather
to
laugh
at
.
The
Germanes
perceiuing
the
skirmishes
and
violent
meetings
of
these
warlike
bodies
,
contrary
to
their
vsuall
keeping
of
their
stands
and
close
fights
,
set
vpon
the
Kings
Vauntguard
,
and
as
they
were
approoued
and
expert
men
in
many
encounters
,
so
did
they
for
the
time
in
all
things
,
as
well
as
strength
and
policy
could
execute
,
equalling
and
answering
the
English
man
to
man
,
or
battell
to
battell
and
for
the
Generalls
,
had
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
beene
as
nimble
and
deliuer
,
as
he
was
vigilant
,
valiant
,
and
wary
,
he
might
well
haue
paralleld
the
best
of
his
aduersaries
.
But
to
decipher
,
and
truely
to
speake
of
Martin
Swart
,
I
shall
much
disable
his
worthinesse
and
merit
.
For
he
was
heroike
in
spirit
,
strong
in
heart
,
and
of
great
ability
in
body
,
expert
,
experienced
,
and
failing
in
nothing
but
his
fortune
:
Eor
when
the
Irish
,
being
most
of
them
(
as
I
sayd
)
vnarmed
,
were
put
by
their
light
manner
of
skirmishing
a
farre
off
,
and
charged
with
strong
horses
on
the
Flancks
,
and
as
strong
bodies
of
pikes
in
the
Front
,
to
which
you
may
adde
the
cunning
of
the
Kings
artillery
,
and
violence
of
the
arrowes
,
which
fell
downe
like
haile
vpon
these
poore
and
naked
soules
,
they
knew
no
way
of
resisting
or
retiring
,
but
were
subiect
to
a
terrible
encounter
and
slaughter
.
And
although
they
held
out
a
while
,
as
long
as
an
equall
met
man-hood
protracted
the
victory
:
yet
were
they
so
pressed
and
oppressed
,
that
they
quickly
yeelded
,
and
shrunke
vnder
the
stroakes
of
a
mightier
arme
.
Againe
,
the
Kings
Foreward
being
full
of
companie
and
well
furnished
,
continually
supplied
with
Wings
and
Archers
,
&
wonderfully
encouraged
with
the
high
deseruing
of
the
Commanders
,
at
last
brake
the
bodie
of
the
Almaines
,
and
scattered
their
company
with
a
lamentable
discomfiture
:
yet
I
must
needes
say
,
they
were
first
more
terrified
to
see
the
Irish
killed
so
confusedly
,
then
exanimated
with
their
owne
disasters
.
We
will
die
with
thee
noble
hart
,
for
thou
art
worthy
to
liue
with
Kings
&
die
with
Princes
,
yea
to
be
buried
in
the
fields
of
euerlasting
renowne
,
&
so
they
were
as
good
as
their
words
.
For
after
men
and
manhood
had
acted
their
parts
on
this
blo●dy
stage
of
fury
and
slaughter
,
they
were
all
found
dead
in
the
field
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Lord
Martin
Swart
,
or
if
you
will
Sward
,
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
the
Lord
Geraldi●e
,
the
Lord
Louell
,
Sr.
Th:
Broughton
,
with
the
most
part
of
the
Commanders
,
and
fiue
thousand
Souldiers
.
The
report
was
,
that
the
Lord
Louell
tooke
his
horse
,
and
would
haue
fled
ouer
Trent
,
but
not
able
to
recouer
the
highnesse
o●
the
bancks
,
he
was
drowned
in
the
riuer
:
some
also
maintaine
,
that
the
King
out
of
the
generosity
of
his
spirit
commanded
,
that
none
should
kill
or
hurt
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
that
being
brought
vnto
him
,
hee
might
discouer
the
secrets
of
this
mischeefe
,
and
the
viperous
brood
of
false-hearted
subiects
:
but
the
souldiers
would
not
permit
it
,
lest
the
sauing
of
his
life
might
,
by
such
detection
endanger
diuers
others
,
as
good
as
himselfe
,
and
so
killed
him
by
way
of
anticipation
.
After
this
victory
,
the
King
would
needes
solemnize
a
thanksgiuing
to
God
in
the
open
field
,
as
well
to
a●cyd
ingratitude
,
as
to
giue
good
example
,
and
when
it
was
vrged
,
he
might
better
defer
it
till
he
came
to
some
religious
place
,
or
house
of
deuotion
,
he
more
religious
assured
them
,
that
God
was
euery
where
,
and
neither
the
place
,
nor
the
manner
graced
the
sacrifice
,
and
the
intentiuenesse
of
the
heart
,
and
true
meaning
of
the
soule
,
which
he
had
learned
of
the
Poet
,
and
so
alledged
these
verses
out
of
Lucan
:
Estque
Deisedes
,
vbiterra
,
This
the
Bishops
present
durst
neither
deny
,
nor
would
willingly
approoue
for
feare
of
any
diminution
in
their
settled
ceremonies
and
glorious
Cathedralls
:
but
at
this
time
the
Kings
ardency
preuailed
,
and
he
kneeled
downe
on
the
bare
ground
in
the
open
fields
,
and
rendred
thankes
and
praises
to
God
.
Afterward
,
hee
gaue
order
for
the
funeralls
of
the
dead
,
shedding
teares
himselfe
in
commiseration
of
so
many
worthy
men
slaine
for
such
an
vniustifiable
businesse
,
the
people
yet
vnmooued
,
and
the
souldiers
not
so
much
as
daunted
,
though
they
saw
the
bleeding
carkasses
and
wounded
bodies
,
according
to
the
saying
,
Exemploque
carens
,
&
nulli
cognitus
aeuo
Luctus
erat
,
mortem
populos
deflere
potentis
.
Then
he
proceeded
to
the
casting
vp
a
new
accounts
of
mercy
and
forgiuenesse
,
proclaiming
pardon
to
all
,
that
would
penitently
admit
of
the
same
,
and
to
his
eternall
fame
,
not
onely
gaue
Lambert
and
the
Priest
their
liues
,
but
commanded
,
that
no
man
should
abuse
them
with
contumely
and
reproach
,
as
perceiuing
the
one
(
for
his
yeeres
)
vncapable
of
the
apprehension
of
treason
,
or
flagicious
circumstances
concerning
the
same
:
the
other
(
for
his
orders
&
profession
)
to
be
a
priuiledged
person
:
yet
most
heroikly
and
wisely
he
told
him
,
that
he
which
rolleth
a
stone
vp
a
hill
,
may
peraduenture
haue
it
fall
vpon
his
own
head
,
and
he
that
looketh
too
high
in
a
dangerous
entrenched
ground
,
may
fall
into
the
ditch
.
Notwithstanding
,
for
his
pennance
he
was
committed
to
perpetuall
imprisonment
:
but
Lambert
admitted
into
the
palace
,
and
from
place
to
place
,
came
at
last
to
bee
one
of
his
Maiesties
Faulkoners
.
Last
of
all
,
he
looked
ioyfully
on
his
owne
company
,
and
in
remuneration
of
their
loyalty
and
noble
seruices
,
spred
the
mantle
of
honour
ouer
diuers
,
and
imparted
seuerall
rewards
to
the
rest
,
according
to
their
places
of
eminency
.
This
battell
was
fought
on
a
Saturday
the
sixteenth
of
Iune
,
1489.
and
in
the
end
of
the
second
yeere
of
Henry
the
seuenth
.
And
thus
was
all
this
high
enterprize
of
Lady
Margaret
,
—
Orabiosamulier
!
Quàm
sit
manisesta
phrenesis
!
—
Yea
,
she
set
vp
such
a
loome
out
of
her
pestilent
inuention
,
that
a
man
would
thinke
it
impossible
for
a
woman
to
contriue
,
or
prosecute
:
but
that
the
old
Poet
hath
so
long
agoe
told
vs
,
Praeterea
nos
sumus
mulieres
,
Yet
for
the
time
she
deplored
the
miscarrying
of
the
matter
,
but
was
not
ashamed
to
confesse
,
that
she
cared
not
by
what
meanes
King
Henry
might
be
debased
.
After
this
great
mischeefe
(
like
a
peece
of
Ordnance
ouercharged
)
was
thus
broken
in
the
fulnesse
,
and
that
with
little
trouble
,
tumult
,
and
expences
,
compared
to
many
other
warres
.
The
King
(
as
you
heard
)
returned
thankes
to
the
Decider
of
all
controuersies
,
and
presently
sent
word
to
London
of
his
prosperity
and
aduenture
,
seeming
sorry
for
nothing
,
but
the
death
of
the
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
assuring
the
Duke
of
Bedford
and
Earle
of
Shrewsbury
,
that
he
delighted
in
his
humours
,
and
had
a
determination
to
haue
saued
his
life
,
adding
yet
this
by
the
way
,
that
hee
was
amazed
at
nothing
more
,
then
the
audaciousnes
of
the
man
,
that
durst
(
so
meanly
accompanied
)
set
vpon
such
a
great
&
puiss●nt
an
army
.
Therfore
it
must
needs
be
,
that
he
presumed
on
further
suppliment
,
or
some
breakings
out
amongst
themselues
.
But
seeing
it
hath
pleased
God
,
that
we
haue
not
onely
escaped
this
threatning
storme
of
commotion
and
disturbance
,
but
also
choaked
with
the
dust
of
their
owne
dissention
,
the
interiour
diuisions
and
conspiracies
of
the
Kingdome
:
Let
vs
(
my
Lords
)
I
pray
you
,
be
somewhat
considerate
,
touching
tumultuous
and
discontented
persons
,
that
they
may
be
orderly
satisfied
in
their
honest
demands
,
and
discre●tly
preuented
from
vnlawfull
●onuenticles
,
or
associated
as●emblies
of
vnquiemesse
,
and
murmuring
against
our
gouernment
,
vnder
colour
of
hunting
faires
,
markets
,
hor●●-races
,
weddings
,
and
such
like
.
Let
vs
also
haue
a
care
of
our
ports
,
harbours
,
and
hauens
,
to
preuent
wanderers
and
trauellers
,
who
from
the
excuses
of
deuotion
to
visit
Rome
,
and
curiosity
to
explore
forren
countries
,
doe
many
time
deceiue
our
trust
with
indirect
and
preposterous
businesse
.
In
this
triumphant
prosperity
he
returned
to
London
,
and
was
as
well
welcommed
to
the
people
,
as
contented
in
himselfe
,
and
so
ran
forward
in
the
race
of
all
mundane
felicitie
and
maiesticall
happinesse
.
But
neither
his
owne
wisdome
,
the
vigilancy
of
the
Officers
,
the
fidelity
of
his
Nobles
,
the
policy
of
his
Councellours
,
the
loyalty
of
his
subiects
,
nor
the
whole
regard
of
the
Common
wealth
,
could
turne
the

of

about
,
nor
preuent
his
destiny
,
concerning
following
mischeefes
:

desiring

—
First
,
a
mighty
Prince
was
not
only
terrified
with
an
Idol
and
puppet
,
as
it
were
,
made
of
straw
and
painted
cloth
:
but
threatned
to
be
shouldred
aside
,
out
of
his
firmnesse
and
throne
of
Maiestie
;
secondly
,
when
the
wheele
was
●urned
about
,
God
derided
the
Deuill
,
and
brought
this
mountaine
of
pride
downe
with
a
vengeance
,
seeing
the
noble
Kings
innocency
,
patience
and
humility
:
Thirdly
,
he
taught
all
abominable
and
diabolicall
practises
a
new
lesson
,
condemning
both
the
actors
and
contriuers
,
as
freneticall
,
and
foolish
:
Fourthly
,
he
enstructed
the
best
of
men
,
to
consider
they
were
but
men
subiect
to
the
inconueniences
of
life
,
mutabilitie
of
the
World
,
counterchangeablenesse
of
times
,
and
inconstancy
of
people
:
Last
of
all
,
to
make
vs
know
that
all
actions
grounded
on
irreligious
foundation●
,
and
wicked
conuentions
must
needs
faile
in
the
end
;
for
,
rather
then
punishments
shall
not
follow
sinnes
,
God
will
scourge
one
wicked
man
with
another
,
as
you
saw
,
how
all
the
Monarches
of
the
Earth
were
dissolued
,
and
the
Kingdomes
of
the
Gentiles
brought
to
ruine
and
desolation
.
But
now
to
our
Story
.
After
the
Duches
of
Burgundy
had
fastned
on
this
An●hor
hold
for
her
reuenges
,
Honores
mutant
moves
)
he
kept
such
a
princely
countenance
,
and
counterfeted
a
maiesticall
roialty
,
that
all
others
firmely
approued
he
was
extracted
out
of
the
blood
of
Plantaginet
,
and
obserued
him
accordingly
:
she
againe
grew
proud
of
nothing
so
much
,
as
the
wonderment
of
her
owne
handyworke
,
and
that
out
of
so
little
●
cloud
,
she
should
raise
such
a
tempest
of
trouble
,
and
distraction
?
but
ou●
Ouid
endoctrined
her
,
Flumina
magna
vides
paruis
de
fontibu●
orta
,
and
she
knew
she
was
a
woman
fit
to
be
such
a
workemistris
.
Whereupon
taking
an
opportunity
of
the
Kings
warres
〈◊〉
France
,
she
sent
for
her
yongling
out
of
Portugall
and
priuatly
conueid
him
into
Ireland
with
sure
and
forcible
instructions
how
to
inueigle
and
incite
this
rusticall
people
to
admit
of
him
,
who
besides
their
naturall
inclination
to
rebellion
,
and
disorder
,
would
now
be
glad
of
this
new
occasion
and
businesse
to
reuenge
the
slaughter
of
their
Countrymen
:
And
although
it
might
seeme
to
reasonable
men
,
and
vnderstanding
apprehensions
,
that
the
vnhappy
proceedings
of
Lambert
and
his
counterfet
assoicat
(
the
Priest
I
meane
)
might
haue
beene
a
sufficient
warning
vnto
them
for
euer
being
taken
againe
in
the
net
of
such
abuses
,
or
entangled
with
the
snare
of
collusion
:
yet
did
he
so
demeane
himselfe
,
that
he
made
these
doubts
the
very
ground
of
his
acceptation
:
For
once
againe
insinuating
with
the
houses
of
the
Geraldines
and
Butlers
,
he
plaied
the
Orator
with
them
,
and
as
we
say
,
captare
beneuolentiam
,
thus
perswaded
them
to
giue
credit
and
affiance
to
his
false
and
wonderfull
demonstrations
,
as
though
he
had
beene
the
very
sonne
of
King
Edward
indeed
.
MY
worthy
Lords
,
Edmond
Ironside
,
fled
from
〈◊〉
into
Hungary
,
and
were
there
protected
,
yea
,
aduanced
in
marriage
for
the
further
and
better
recouering
their
inheri●ances
:
But
what
need
I
goe
further
,
then
the
vsurper
now
regnant
,
who
in
despight
of
my
Father
and
Vncle
of
Glocester
,
was
entertained
by
the
Duke
of
Brittaine
,
and
the
French
King
,
and
as
it
were
secured
from
all
Treasons
and
corruption
or
(
if
you
will
)
pollecy
of
searchers
to
bring
him
to
destruction
:
wherein
questionlesse
those
Princes
,
as
they
obtained
a
perpetuall
renowne
,
for
so
noble
and
glorious
a
charity
:
so
did
they
repute
nothing
so
meritoriou●
,
〈◊〉
the
extention
of
fauor
,
and
a
helping-hand
to
the
perfecting
such
a
worke
from
princely
compassion
:
Therefore
I
will
say
the
lesse
in
this
point
vnto
you
,
because
you
haue
euer
beene
faithful
to
my
progenitors
,
and
willing
to
be
counted
a
Nation
for
the
defence
of
vertue
,
and
propulsing
of
iniuries
.
As
for
the
ill
successe
of
Lambert
in
personating
my
cozen
the
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
and
setting
a
foot
that
title
,
whereby
you
may
be
terrified
in
heereafter
prosecutions
:
Alas
,
I
confesse
it
was
for
my
sake
,
and
a
meere
deuise
to
sound
the
foord
of
the
troublesome
streames
of
those
times
&
proceedings
:
wherein
,
if
my
Vncle
of
Lincolne
had
any
way
thriued
;
you
must
be
assured
,
thogh
they
would
not
hazzard
my
person
so
yong
;
yet
it
was
only
to
make
way
to
my
fortunes
.
For
smal
recompence
should
haue
stopped
his
mouth
,
&
vt
maior
●nx
extinguit
minorem
,
my
presence
quickly
haue
turned
the
streame
,
and
with
the
sonne
exhaled
the
strength
of
his
me●eor
.
This
tricke
my
Grand-father
put
vpon
the
State
when
he
was
Gouernor
amongst
you
,
by
lack
Cade
of
Kent
,
who
proclaimed
himselfe
Mortimer
,
to
see
how
the
people
affected
the
Title
,
or
could
remember
the
Genealogie
in
the
truth
of
his
precedencie
,
as
marrying
the
daughter
of
Lionel
Duke
of
Clarence
third
son
of
our
great
Edward
the
third
of
England
and
Heroos
of
his
time
:
so
that
I
hope
this
shall
be
no
barre
or
interception
either
to
my
interest
,
or
your
good
will
,
considering
I
am
now
come
in
person
to
offer
vp
my selfe
a
sacrifice
if
need
be
for
you
all
,
and
promise
you
by
the
secrets
of
my
birth-right
to
make
you
a
glorious
and
free
Nation
vnder
me
,
if
I
preuaile
by
your
meanes
.
These
words
were
vttered
so
audaciously
,
and
yet
with
simulatory
maiesty
,
that
they
conceiued
euery
thing
in
his
be
halfe
,
and
not
once
disputed
on
the
craft
or
cunning
conueiance
of
the
businesse
:
but
exalted
and
applauded
him
with
all
reuerence
and
due
honor
combining
themselues
with
affectionate
obedience
to
his
aide
and
assistance
:
wherein
●hat
they
might
be
the
better
induced
iust
at
the
same
instant
,
as
if
honour
made
hast
to
welcome
him
,
according
to
our
Poet
:
Nunc
festmatos
nimium
sibi
s●nsit
honores
.
and
fortune
determined
to
smile
on
them
all
.
Charles
the
French
King
in
some
di●pleasure
with
King
Henry
of
England
,
George
Neuil
the
Bastard
:
Sir
Iohn
Tailer
:
Rowland
Robinson
,
and
a
hundred
English
Rebels
:
But
alas
all
these
were
but
smoaking
illusions
:
For
on
a
soddain
,
—
Ingem●it
rector
,
And
when
a
peace
was
to
be
determined
and
concluded
betweene
England
and
France
,
the
French
King
quickly
dismissed
the
yong
man
and
all
his
associats
,
vnder
colour
of
excuse
,
that
he
durst
no
longer
protect
him
against
his
new
confederat
and
brother
of
England
;
but
some
others
attending
vpon
him
,
yeelded
a
more
forcible
reason
for
his
departure
,
that
he
himselfe
suspected
how
King
Charles
would
deliuer
him
into
the
hands
of
the
King
of
England
:
and
therefore
he
beguiled
the
Lord
Congreshall
,
and
fled
from
Paris
by
night
.
But
howsoeuer
this
may
be
disputed
,
and
whether
he
departed
without
the
Kings
consent
,
or
no
;
he
was
questionlesse
deceiued
in
his
expectation
,
and
in
a
manne●
desperate
of
successe
:
so
that
loth
to
remaine
amongst
such
distrustfull
enemies
,
hee
quietly
returned
to
his
most
assured
friend
the
Lady
Margaret
of
Flanders
,
the
master
builder
of
this
worke
.
The
Duches
before
he
came
,
O
Iupiter
!
quodnam
adulterinum
hominibus
malum
Mulieres
,
ad
solis
lucem
habit
are
fec●sti
,
&c.
and
this
she
had
learned
of
her
owne
Phisitians
,
After
this
extacy
was
past
,
she
proceeded
with
a
cunning
desire
to
haue
him
relate
his
first
miraculous
preseruation
,
his
after
trauails
and
exploration
of
Countries
,
his
next
entertainement
in
Ireland
and
France
,
and
finally
his
resolution
to
goe
forward
in
his
noble
and
necessary
intendment
for
his
inheritance
,
and
recouery
of
the
Crowne
of
England
:
wherein
he
proceeded
so
effectually
,
and
orderly
without
stammering
or
stuttering
,
that
the
whole
company
verily
belieued
it
,
and
such
as
were
not
present
,
the
rather
,
induced
by
the
report
of
others
,
sorrowing
for
nothing
,
but
that
they
heard
him
not
Vina
Voce
,
and
endeauouring
what
they
could
to
present
their
personall
obedience
vnto
him
:
Whereupon
when
she
perceiued
,
how
euery
thing
consorted
to
her
owne
wishes
,
she
assigned
him
a
Guard
of
50
persons
in
Murry
and
Blue
,
and
honoured
him
with
a
cloth
of
Estate
,
and
denomination
of
the
White
Rose
and
Prince
of
England
.
From
thence
forward
the
Nobilitie
of
Flaunders
,
and
diuers
of
England
with
all
obsequious
diligence
attended
him
,
and
from
a
reuerent
estimation
of
his
auncestors
,
performed
all
the
good
offices
,
which
belonged
to
the
exornation
of
his
maiestie
,
and
extention
of
their
owne
loues
and
dut●es
:
so
that
in
a
word
,
this
Sinons
horse
entred
the
broken
wals
of
Troy
,
and
feined
inuention
shadowed
with
the
pretence
of
verity
and
truth
,
preuailed
with
their
credulitie
,
that
they
adhibited
the
more
faith
and
indubitate
trust
vnto
it
,
supposing
verily
he
had
been
preserued
by
the
wil
and
prouidence
of
God
,
and
so
committed
to
the
trust
and
custody
of
some
faithfull
friend
,
either
by
King
Edward
or
his
mother
,
when
she
was
in
Sanctuary
:
relying
also
on
this
impossibility
,
that
any
Tyrant
would
so
rebell
against
God
,
as
infring
the
orders
of
holy
Church
,
and
take
him
perforce
from
thence
,
as
yet
the
story
manifesteth
was
to
be
done
euen
by
the
Cardinall
himselfe
.
By
this
time
the
same
of
this
iuggled
miracle
was
not
only
blowne
ouer
Flanders
and
the
Territories
adiacent
,
but
so
rumored
in
England
,
Nam
fraudibus
euentum
deder
at
fortuna
.
It
was
more
forcible
,
then
if
it
had
been
published
by
l●cence
and
authority
.
Thus
haue
I
seene
a
fire
smoothered
,
and
enclosed
in
some
secret
place
ne●er
to
bee
quiet
,
till
it
were
vented
out
,
and
when
it
came
to
eruption
,
made
the
more
forcible
and
outragious
noyse
.
For
it
was
heere
receiued
,
as
an
infallible
truth
,
and
not
onely
beleeued
of
the
better
sort
,
but
entertained
of
the
common
people
,
who
being
more
liberall
of
audacious
behauiour
,
and
lesse
fearefull
to
offend
God
,
began
to
confirme
it
with
oathes
,
as
a
matter
of
truth
,
which
others
but
barely
affirmed
,
as
a
report
of
vncertainty
.
Thus
began
trouble
vpon
trouble
,
and
as
the
Spring
putteth
forth
the
buds
and
blossomes
like
the
messenger
of
Summer
,
and
pleasant
times
to
ensue
:
So
did
this
fantasticall
fable
thus
diuulged
,
prognosticate
following
calamity
●nd
consequent
desolation
.
For
after
it
was
knowne
,
with
what
honour
he
had
beene
entertained
in
Flanders
,
and
reuerenced
in
other
places
of
Europe
:
there
began
sedition
on
euery
side
in
England
,
and
no
man
was
sure
of
his
friend
,
the
times
grew
to
such
distraction
.
Some
,
that
were
fled
to
Sanctuaries
for
great
and
hainous
offences
perpetrated
,
discharged
themselues
,
and
went
beyond
the
seas
vnto
him
.
Some
,
that
had
confined
themselues
to
priuiledged
places
for
debts
and
accounts
,
began
to
shew
themselues
vnder
his
support
and
combination
,
then
being
safest
,
when
the
State
is
vnsafest
.
Some
,
euen
of
the
better
sort
,
through
rashnesse
and
●emerity
,
because
they
would
bee
counted
factious
and
stirring
,
drew
apace
vnto
him
.
Some
out
of
the
nature
of
inconstancy
,
or
rather
impression
of
melancholy
,
neuer
to
be
remooued
from
the
opinion
they
haue
once
entertained
,
beleeued
verily
,
that
this
Perkin
was
the
indubitate
sonne
of
Edward
the
fourth
.
Some
,
through
simplicity
and
easinesse
of
apprehension
,
without
examining
the
probability
and
likelihood
of
the
matter
,
yeelded
to
any
thing
which
was
told
them
.
Some
temporizers
,
to
curry
fauor
in
the
change
of
Princes
,
perswaded
and
solicited
other
to
their
opinions
,
that
so
bringing
many
coadiutors
,
they
might
not
onely
be
reputed
of
strength
and
reputation
in
their
countries
,
but
the
better
welcommed
and
entertained
with
the
preuailer
.
Some
,
through
indignation
and
enuy
,
murmuring
at
their
slender
aduancement
,
or
grudging
they
were
not
more
condignely
rewarded
,
for
their
former
paines
and
aduentures
in
his
Maiesties
businesse
,
resorted
to
this
new
Prince
,
in
hope
of
better
acceptation
.
And
some
ouerwearied
with
e●se
and
placability
of
idlenesse
,
greeuing
to
see
the
world
stand
at
a
stay
,
with
desire
of
change
,
ran
headlong
into
this
fury
,
madnesse●
and
seditious
conspiracy
:
O
tempora
!
ô
mores
!
ô
flagitiosa
voluntas
!
But
for
all
this
rumour
of
this
twice
borne
Duke
Richard
of
Yorke
,
and
that
England
was
diuided
,
and
drawne
into
parts
taking
,
and
seuerall
factions
:
so
that
the
minds
of
men
were
vexed
,
either
with
the
hope
of
gaine
,
or
preferment
:
or
feare
of
losse
and
confusion
:
Yet
was
the
King
and
his
Councell
not
much
disturbed
or
affrighted
,
more
then
their
maruell
and
modest
anger
at
so
many
persons
,
seeming
in
their
right
wits
to
be
seduced
,
either
in
the
contriuing
such
a
manifest
and
notorious
lie
,
or
assenting
and
preparing
themselues
to
countenance
the
same
without
feare
of
God
or
men
,
not
once
forecasting
the
dangerous
penalty
of
treasons
,
contempts
,
conspiracies
,
and
practises
against
their
naturall
Prince
,
and
so
sufficient
a
Gouernour
.
For
it
was
not
onely
a
pernicious
fable
and
fiction
,
strange
and
maruellous
;
but
prodigious
and
vnnaturall
to
resussitate
a
ma●
from
the
dead
,
and
with
impudent
asseueration
to
set
it
forth
,
and
palliate
it
with
the
vesture
and
garment
of
a
professed
verity
.
But
in
such
cases
,
be
Kings
neuer
so
wise
,
nor
matters
so
triuiall
and
vnlikely
,
there
is
no
sitting
still
,
nor
giuing
way
to
the
businesse
,
especially
there
is
no
rebating
an
enemy
with
proclamations
,
writings
,
and
prohibitions
,
who
commeth
forward
with
the
clamors
of
war
,
&
well
settled
prep●ration
of
offence
.
Therfore
his
Maiesty
thought
it
the
best
course
,
to
looke
about
him
,
and
both
by
force
and
policy
to
preuent
the
mischeefe
impending
and
threatned
.
For
hee
perceiued
,
how
already
the
fire
of
rebellion
had
taken
hold
of
some
of
the
principall
houses
of
England
,
whom
hee
knew
had
vnderhand
already
sent
messengers
vnto
Lady
Margaret
,
to
vnderstand
when
Richard
Duke
of
Yorke
would
come
conueniently
into
England
,
that
they
might
be
ready
to
help
and
succour
him
,
euen
at
his
first
arriuall
.
This
businesse
encreased
to
a
fulnesse
and
ripenesse
,
Robert
Clifford
Knight
,
and
William
Barley
into
Flanders
,
to
be
the
better
assured
of
all
particulars
:
who
were
not
only
gladly
accepted
,
and
louingly
welcommed
of
the
Duches
,
with
full
intimation
of
the
truth
,
and
wonderfull
deliuery
of
strangenesse
of
the
story
.
Nec
grauide
lachrymas
continuere
genae
:
But
brought
to
the
sight
,
and
sweet
,
entertainment
of
Perkin
,
who
played
the
counterfet
so
exactly
,
that
his
words
resembled
for
cible
incantations
according
to
that
of
the
Poet
:
Vna
per
at
hereos
exit
voxilla
recelsus
,
V●rbaque
ad
inu●tum
praefert
cogentia
numen
.
●
For
all
men
praised
his
vertues
and
qualities
,
Robert
Clifford
swore
directly
that
he
was
extracted
of
the
bloud
royall
,
and
the
very
sonne
of
King
Edward
the
fourth
.
Whereupon
hee
wrote
letters
of
confidence
&
credit
to
his
associates
in
England
,
that
as
the
Queene
of
Saba
told
Salomon
,
she
did
not
beleeue
the
halfe
of
that
which
was
reported
,
till
shee
had
seene
it
with
her
eyes
:
So
he
could
not
bee
perswaded
to
so
much
,
as
rumour
had
preferred
,
till
he
had
ouerveiwed
him
in
person
:
But
when
these
letters
were
receiued
in
England
,
the
conspiratours
caused
them
to
be
openly
published
and
diuulged
in
many
places
,
with
full
credence
,
that
it
was
true
and
not
fained
,
which
was
spoken
by
the
Duke
of
Yorke
,
and
therefore
they
neede
not
be
afraid
to
be
drawne
to
such
a
commotion
,
and
parts
taking
:
all
yet
was
carried
so
orderly
and
couertly
,
that
the
King
more
then
vncertaine
suspition
,
could
not
as
yet
detect
any
person
of
name
or
quality
,
which
troubled
him
so
much
the
more
.
But
when
hee
perceiued
indeede
,
that
this
misty
vapour
was
not
qui●e
vani●hed
,
nor
the
impression
put
out
of
the
mad
braines
of
the
common
people
;
and
vnderstood
,
how
Sr.
Robert
Cl●fford
was
priuily
fled
into
Flanders
,
he
resolued
on
a
conspiracy
against
him
,
and
thought
it
expedient
,
both
for
the
saueguard
of
himselfe
and
his
Realme
,
whose
reciprocall
good
or
hurt
were
dependants
one
vpon
another
,
Peter
Warbeck
,
which
was
principally
confirmed
by
one
Nathani●l
Osbeck
of
his
owne
kinred
,
who
as
it
should
seeme
in
hope
of
reward
,
tooke
vpon
him
more
then
the
rest
,
and
exprobrated
him
for
so
countersetting
,
with
this
taunt
out
of
the
Poet
:
Sed
malè
dissimulat
,
And
alas
,
howeuer
he
is
now
transhaped
into
a
princely
garb
and
fashion
,
we
of
Peter
named
him
Perkin
,
for
his
effeminatenesse
and
childisnnesse
.
With
this
newes
and
man
,
the
inquisitours
returned
into
England
,
and
made
a
true
report
vnto
his
Maiesty
of
all
that
euer
they
knew
and
heard
,
both
concerning
the
assumpted
presumption
and
impudency
of
the
counterfet
,
as
also
the
proceedings
and
purposes
of
all
the
conspiratours
,
which
was
seconded
by
the
faithful
letters
of
especial
persons
,
who
had
larger
commission
to
make
their
commorance
the
longer
out
of
England
:
when
the
King
was
thus
satisfied
,
and
(
as
he
supposed
)
to
all
seeming
reasonable
vnderstanding
,
had
openly
and
apparantly
manifested
it
,
he
resolued
to
haue
it
further
published
and
declared
,
by
open
proclamations
and
sound
of
trumpet
,
both
in
the
Realmes
of
England
and
Ireland
,
and
in
the
courts
of
forraine
Princes
:
for
which
purpose
he
sent
ouer
diuers
Embassadours
to
many
Countries
,
especially
to
Philip
Arch-Duke
of
Burgoine
,
Ed.
Poinings
,
a
most
valiant
Gentleman
;
and
William
Warrham
Doctor
of
the
lawes
,
a
man
of
great
modesty
,
learning
and
grauity
.
The
generall
poynts
of
their
commission
had
large
fields
to
walke
in
,
but
the
principall
matters
to
be
enforced
had
these
limitations
.
FIrst
,
to
declare
that
the
young
man
resident
amongst
them
with
the
Lady
Margaret
,
was
descended
of
a
base
and
obscure
parentage
,
hauing
falsly
and
vntruly
vsurped
the
name
of
Richard
Duke
of
Yorke
,
who
long
before
was
murthered
in
the
Tower
with
his
brother
the
Prince
,
by
the
commandement
of
King
Richard
their
vncle
,
as
many
men
liuing
can
testifie
.
Secondly
,
that
from
the
probability
of
the
matter
and
enforcement
of
reason
,
there
was
no
likelihood
,
that
King
Richard
dispossessing
the
Prince
both
of
his
life
and
Kingdom
,
would
leaue
the
other
brother
stil
to
affright
him
,
and
trouble
him
in
his
gouernment
.
Thirdly
,
that
Queene
Elizabeth
their
mother
,
was
therefore
attainted
in
Parliament
,
for
surrendring
her
daughters
into
the
Tyrants
custody
,
and
committing
them
into
his
hands
,
who
,
she
knew
,
had
already
murthered
their
brethren
.
Fourthly
,
to
desire
the
Arch-Duke
,
and
the
principall
Lords
of
his
Councell
,
not
to
giue
any
credit
to
such
illusions
,
nor
suffer
themselues
to
bee
any
more
blinded
or
seduced
with
impostures
,
or
shadowing
appearances
of
truth
.
Last
of
all
,
to
remember
how
King
Henry
had
(
some
few
yeeres
since
)
succoured
and
releeued
Maximilian
their
principall
Lord
,
almost
oppressed
and
ouercome
with
the
forraine
hostility
of
the
French
King
,
and
intestine
rebellion
of
his
owne
subiects
,
and
therefore
it
must
be
vnprincely
,
and
a
poynt
of
great
ingratitude
,
either
directly
or
indirectly
,
to
abett
or
maintaine
any
traytour
,
or
trayterous
practises
against
him
,
or
the
peace
and
tranquility
of
his
Kingdome
.
With
these
instructions
the
Embassadours
failed
into
Flanders
,
and
were
gently
receiued
,
and
honourably
welcommed
by
the
Arch-Duke
and
his
Councell
,
as
appeared
by
the
solemnity
of
their
audience
,
and
quicke
dispatch
of
their
businesse
:
wherein
Doctor
William
Warrham
in
a
well
penned
oration
declared
the
Kings
minde
,
as
before
you
heard
,
and
by
the
way
touched
the
malice
of
Lady
Margaret
,
saying
with
the
Poet
,
—
Tantaenè
animis
coele
stibus
irae
:
And
vnder
a
kinde
of
reprehension
,
rebuked
her
inficious
disposition
against
a
Prince
of
so
great
worth
and
deseruing
,
that
neuer
wronged
her
,
nor
entertained
a
preiudiciall
motiue
,
to
inflict
either
her
or
hers
with
any
malignant
iniury
;
wherin
she
only
might
be
compared
to
a
weak
breath
,
which
spitting
against
a
forcible
winde
,
had
it
returned
b●cke
againe
into
her
face
,
adding
withall
somewhat
vehemently
,
that
in
her
olde
age
,
contrary
to
the
nature
of
all
births
,
shee
had
brought
forth
two
such
detestable
monsters
,
that
is
to
say
,
Lambert
before
disputed
vpon
,
and
now
this
Peter
,
that
the
like
was
neuer
heard
of
.
And
whereas
,
in
the
conception
of
children
,
women
were
commonly
deliuered
in
eight
or
nine
moneths
,
as
nature
did
require
,
she
could
not
be
released
in
eight
or
nine
yeeres
;
nay
,
the
youngest
was
fifteen
yeeres
old
,
before
her
threnes
were
passed
,
and
they
iustified
to
be
shewed
openly
,
and
this
was
not
sufficient
neither
,
but
they
must
bee
at
least
extracted
of
Princes
,
and
able
to
giue
Kings
battell
in
the
open
field
:
whereupon
hee
might
well
conclude
with
that
ancient
Poet
:
Sedres
excellens
est
,
This
oration
so
effectually
deliuered
,
and
in
the
publique
assembly
audaciously
maintained
,
did
not
so
much
trouble
and
vex
the
Duches
,
as
aff●ight
and
dishearten
poore
Perkin
,
who
in
a
manner
exanimated
,
lest
his
fraud
and
pestilentiall
enterprizes
should
not
onely
bee
discouered
,
but
discouraged
,
began
to
be
somewhat
appaled
,
and
by
a
fearefull
countenance
seemed
to
discountenance
both
his
honor
and
the
action
,
had
not
the
Duches
taken
the
cause
in
hand
with
a
more
vndaunted
courage
,
and
like
a
true
Virago
raised
her
spirits
to
a
higher
pitch
of
reuenge
,
thus
resuscitating
her
darling
,
and
answering
the
Doctor
.
MY
Lords
Embassadors
of
England
:
First
,
whereas
you
impeach
the
miraculous
and
wonderfull
preseruation
of
this
Prince
.
In
which
yet
my
credit
and
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
shall
be
of
sufficiency
to
answer
all
other
obiections
and
intercedings
,
I
cannot
blame
you
,
nor
him
that
set
you
on
worke
;
For
he
well
knowes
that
sonnes
●re
to
bee
preferred
before
daughters
,
and
ashamed
of
the
●reachery
of
his
ancestours
,
he
would
put
off
the
blame
by
a
tricke
of
policy
in
laying
as
great
faults
on
the
shoulders
of
his
aduersary
,
I
meane
my
brother
Richard
,
whose
tyranny
and
obdurate
heart
hath
onely
wrought
this
relenting
in
me
,
that
say
&
do
what
England
can
,
I
will
be
now
the
Protectrix
of
this
euery
way
distressed
Prince
,
and
so
to
conclude
this
poynt
,
assure
your
King
,
Permanet
in
voto
mens
mea
firma
suo
.
Secondly
,
whereas
you
inferre
the
improbability
and
vnlikelihood
of
sauing
the
Prince
,
being
in
a
Tyrants
custody
,
and
determining
to
murther
the
King
himselfe
,
I
answer
in
a
word
:
I
am
of
your
minde
,
if
euer
he
had
come
into
his
hands
:
But
it
is
well
knowne
,
that
the
Cardinall
himselfe
was
deceiued
,
and
the
childe
conuayed
away
,
in
despight
of
the
maleuolent
practises
of
so
cruell
an
Homicide
.
Yet
say
it
had
not
beene
so
,
I
hope
eldest
brothers
daughters
are
preferred
before
a
yonger
brothers
claime
;
and
hee
had
fiue
Princesses
,
besides
my
Nephew
Warwicke
,
to
wrastle
wi●hall
,
before
he
could
goe
out
of
the
lists
with
his
owne
triumphs
.
Therefore
it
was
not
the
feare
of
him
,
that
did
accelerate
his
murther
,
as
you
suppose
;
but
his
resolution
to
bee
King
,
in
despight
of
Heauen
and
Hell
.
Thirdly
,
concerning
the
dispossessing
of
the
Queene
their
mother
by
your
Parliament
,
I
am
ashamed
of
your
asseueration
,
that
euer
man
,
and
such
a
man
,
whom
(
as
you
say
)
the
Heauens
protected
,
should
bee
attainted
of
inhumanity
,
to
thinke
a
woman
might
not
bee
affrighted
with
a
Tyrant
,
when
hee
himselfe
ranne
into
euery
corner
from
his
reaches
.
But
say
there
had
beene
a
fault
perpetrated
(
through
the
timidity
of
her
sex
and
tendernesse
of
her
widdow-hood
)
would
any
man
marry
the
daughter
,
and
hate
or
distresse
the
poore
mother
,
in
whose
behalfe
I
may
well
say
with
Ariadne
to
Theseus
,
—
Sinon
ego
causasalutis
:
And
therefore
if
there
were
no
more
then
to
reuenge
her
quarrell
,
I
will
bee
an
enemy
to
Lancaster
,
while
I
liue
,
and
am
no
further
mooued
with
your
vnseasonable
oratory
then
afraid
of
his
menaces
.
Fourthly
,
whereas
you
would
insinuate
with
our
Nobles
and
trusty
friends
to
desist
from
my
allegiance
,
and
agasting
my
Nephew
in
his
lawfull
claime
:
you
thinke
belike
we
are
as
perfidious
as
your selues
,
that
seeme
glad
of
Treason
and
turmoiles
vpon
the
very
sound
of
innouation
:
yea
,
the
least
aduantage
or
disaduantage
will
cause
you
leaue
your
Prince
in
the
midst
of
his
enemies
.
Fiftly
,
concerning
your
exprobration
of
Maximilian
for
ingratitude
,
and
not
coadiuting
your
King
in
his
petty
reuenges
vpon
France
:
First
,
his
great
dessignes
are
not
to
be
compared
to
your
triuiall
businesse
,
and
hauing
matters
of
high
consequence
else-where
,
he
could
not
leaue
them
to
attend
your
weaker
importunities
:
Secondly
,
he
well
knew
it
was
but
a
folly
to
assist
you
in
any
businesse
of
France
;
for
as
fas●
as
you
got
it
one
way
,
you
would
loose
it
another
,
so
that
you
cannot
now
show
any
Town
or
Fort
,
either
of
King
Edwards
conquests
,
or
Henry
the
fifts
enterprises
except
Calice
,
which
lying
so
neere
you
,
you
cannot
for
shame
but
defend
:
And
thirdly
,
in
my
conscience
he
tooke
pitty
of
you
,
knowing
you
had
a
warre
at
home
to
attend
,
and
so
were
not
able
to
prosecute
both
encounters
at
once
:
goe
back
therefore
and
tell
your
politike
Prince
,
that
whereas
words
are
but
womens
weapons
to
his
imagination
,
we
determine
to
arme
our selues
,
and
this
Prince
by
Gods
assistance
:
and
my
power
shall
bid
him
base
in
his
owne
Kingdome
with
speare
and
shield
,
and
make
an
equall
combat
the
decider
of
both
their
Titles
.
Last
of
all
concerning
your
inuectiue
against
women
;
alas
,
I
smile
at
your
schollership
,
and
am
ashamed
at
your
poore
discretion
in
adapting
some
poeticall
inuention
out
of
fury
or
despight
,
to
your
present
purposes
,
when
both
the
same
man
,
and
all
others
of
the
same
condition
are
as
forward
to
commend
as
dispraise
vs
:
For
to
answere
your
worne
out
and
threed
bare
Tragedian
,
hearke
what
our
Diuine
Petrarch
affirmeth
:
Huius
mens
terrenar●m
nescia
curarum
:
With
which
words
she
arose
,
and
carried
away
Perkin
with
such
state
and
maiestie
,
that
Sir
Edward
Poinings
,
though
he
were
euery
way
inuincible
for
his
courage
,
and
a
knowne
man
for
wonderfull
and
seuerall
exploits
,
yet
seemed
amazed
at
her
Heroicall
speech
,
and
delicat
manner
of
obstinacy
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
Emb●ssadors
and
Councell
of
Estate
often
met
,
and
after
long
debating
the
matter
,
somewhat
to
pacifie
the
King
of
England
for
many
reciprocall
gratuities
and
benefits
receiued
,
they
concluded
,
that
the
Arch-duke
should
neither
aide
nor
assist
Perkin
nor
his
complices
in
any
cause
,
or
quarrell
whatsoeuer
against
the
maiesty
of
England
.
Only
,
if
the
Duches
continued
in
her
obduratnesse
,
and
would
not
desist
from
her
feminine
rages
,
and
terrible
prosecutions
,
they
were
not
to
oppose
against
her
,
nor
was
it
in
their
power
to
let
or
withstand
it
:
For
,
she
was
an
absolute
gouernour
in
her
owne
territories
,
and
the
seignories
and
lands
assigned
for
her
dower
,
were
of
sufficiency
to
suffulciat
her
enterprises
without
their
contradiction
or
restraint
.
When
this
answere
was
giuen
,
Robert
Clifford
and
William
Burley
for
their
returne
to
the
obedience
of
the
King
:
and
concerning
the
Plot
it selfe
,
he
reputed
it
iustifiable
as
authorised
by
all
Authors
,
ages
,
and
Common-wealthes
,
who
set
downe
in
their
politique
discourses
,
that
—
Fraus
est
concessarepellere
fraudem
,
Armaque
in
armatos
sumere
iur●
finunt
.
These
cunning
enformers
so
demeaned
themselues
,
and
imploied
their●time
with
such
sed●lity
and
care
,
Robert
Clifford
to
desist
from
this
foolish
and
dangerous
collusion
,
which
had
neither
sure
ground
nor
foundation
to
stay
it selfe
vpon
:
but
Master
Barley
could
not
be
diuerted
at
this
instant
,
till
within
two
yeares
after
almost
tired
out
with
expectation
after
P●ter
Warbecks
fortunes
and
successe
,
he
returned
of
himselfe
to
the
King
,
and
had
pardon
both
for
life
and
liberty
.
The
others
likewise
proceeded
so
effectuaily
,
that
they
had
sure
notice
of
especiall
persons
confederate
,
and
adiured
to
this
blinde
and
foolish
proiect
;
of
which
they
presently
enformed
the
King
,
who
by
that
means
could
not
only
personally
name
his
home
enemies
,
but
to
preuent
the
worst
,
did
as
personally
attach
the
most
principall
:
that
is
to
say
,
Sir
Iohn
Ratcliffe
,
the
Lord
Fitzwater
,
Sir
Simon
Mountford
,
Sir
Thomas
Thwaits
,
William
Dawbney
,
Robert
Clifford
,
Thomas
Cressenor
,
and
Thomas
Astwood
:
with
these
were
diuers
religious
persons
imprisoned
,
as
William
Rochford
Doctor
of
Diuinitie
,
and
Thomas
Poines
both
Friers
Dominicks
,
Doctor
William
Sutton
,
William
Worsley
Deane
of
Paules
,
Robert
Laiborn
,
and
Richard
L●ssly
,
with
diuers
others
vnapprehended
;
of
whom
,
some
tooke
Sanctuarie
,
and
some
fled
into
Flaunders
to
Perkin
:
But
of
those
whose
liberties
were
constrained
,
Sir
Simon
Mou●●ford
,
Sir
Robert
Ratcliffe
,
and
William
Dawbney
were
beheaded
,
as
powerfull
,
factious
,
and
chiefe
authors
of
the
conspiracie
:
the
rest
were
pardoned
,
especially
the
Priests
,
who
were
in
those
times
for
their
orders
sake
sequestred
from
publique
executions
,
what
offences
soeuer
they
perpetrated
,
which
made
them
so
forward
in
all
facinorous
actions
;
and
others
so
superstitious
,
as
to
beleeue
any
thing
they
either
proiected
,
or
attempted
,
from
which
hypocriticall
and
deceiuable
manner
of
life
,
all
Poets
and
Philosophers
themselues
haue
had
both
generall
and
particular
inuectiues
against
Priests
,
augures
,
soothsa●ers
,
figure
casters
,
and
religious
persons
,
both
for
their
prophane
liues
and
seducing
vanities
:
so
that
Euripides
amongst
many
other
places
concludes
in
his
Ephigenia
,
Vatiduûm
omne
genus
ambitiosum
malum
est
:
and
all
the
Kingdomes
,
and
times
of
the
World
,
Although
the
Lord
F●●zwater
was
pardoned
his
life
for
the
present
:
yet
comming
after
to
Calice
he
was
beheaded
for
attempting
to
escape
by
corrupting
his
keepers
,
and
so
to
goe
to
Perkin
:
whereby
this
strange
and
intricate
worke
so
busied
his
Maiesty
,
that
he
would
often
compare
it
to
the
conquering
of
Hydra
,
a
beast
so
priuiledged
by
nature
,
that
as
one
head
was
struck
off
,
seuen
others
grew
in
the
place
.
For
his
turmoiles
both
at
home
and
abroad
encreased
,
and
he
seemed
as
much
tormented
with
the
suspition
of
bosome
friends
,
as
affrightings
of
forraine
enemies
,
which
so
exasperated
him
,
that
as
he
supposed
to
preuent
the
worst
,
considering
Maximilian
King
of
the
Romans
had
ieofaild
with
him
in
his
wars
against
France
and
that
Lady
Margaret
with
the
Flemings
had
supported
Perkin
Warbeck
against
him
,
he
in
a
kind
of
re●●nge
banished
all
Low-Countrie
men
,
and
their
commodities
out
of
the
Realme
,
with
restraining
the
Merchant
from
hauing
accesse
into
any
of
their
Cities
:
But
alas
this
was
to
no
purpose
,
and
in
truth
rather
a
custome
of
anger
,
then
secret
of
policie
,
as
if
a
man
because
his
finger
torments
him
,
should
cut
off
his
hand
to
ease
himselfe
:
for
they
did
the
like
by
vs
,
whereby
the
Mart
being
kept
at
Calice
,
and
no
vent
else-where
for
our
Marchandize
,
many
poore
house-keepers
complained
for
want
of
worke
,
many
rich
men
murmured
and
were
compelled
to
lessen
their
families
,
and
abate
their
retinue
,
many
Merchants
felt
the
losse
,
and
the
Trades-man
cried
out-right
,
because
the
Esterlings
brought
all
manner
of
manuall
worke
ready
made
into
the
Land
,
The
King
thus
turmoiled
euery
way
,
repaired
for
diuers
reasons
to
the
Tower
of
London
,
whither
shortly
after
came
Sir
Robert
Clifford
vnto
him
,
partly
trusting
to
the
Kings
promise
,
partly
mistrusting
his
owne
company
and
Perkins
weakenesse
:
But
the
chiefest
polecie
of
his
resiance
in
the
Tower
was
to
secure
himselfe
,
and
lay
hold
of
all
others
suspected
,
or
accused
in
this
conspiracy
,
who
thither
resorting
to
the
Councell
,
might
with
ease
and
without
any
tumult
be
committed
to
prison
,
as
it
presently
fell
out
:
For
after
the
King
had
admitted
Sir
Robert
,
and
insinuated
with
him
in
excellent
positions
of
Diuinity
,
and
morality
by
way
of
disceptation
,
vrging
the
loue
and
fauour
of
his
Prince
in
his
true
obedience
and
reconciliation
,
he
not
only
related
the
manner
of
Perkins
proceedings
,
but
on
his
knees
with
teare●
in
his
eies
discouered
the
matter
to
be
weake
and
impossible
,
if
it
had
not
factious
supportation
from
some
of
powerfull
houses
of
England
,
and
very
neere
his
Maiesties
person
,
whereof
though
many
were
punished
,
and
the
rest
dissipated
and
diuided
:
Yet
Sir
William
Stanley
remained
vnsuspected
,
and
his
heart
trembled
to
accuse
him
:
But
when
the
King
heard
Sir
William
Stanley
named
,
At
last
he
burst
out
,
what
my
bosome
friend
?
my
Councellor
?
my
Chamberlaine
?
then
I
see
there
is
no
trust
in
men
,
nor
as
the
Psalmist
saith
confidence
in
Princes
:
For
as
we
shal
not
want
instruments
to
goe
forward
with
what
enterprise
we
please
,
as
Dauid
had
his
Ioab
:
so
shall
we
not
lack
enemies
let
them
be
neuer
so
carefull
and
desirous
to
fauour
the
least
deseruer
,
but
I
may
well
now
cry
out
,
Heu
cadit
in
qu●nquam
tantum
scelus
!
and
with
the
kingly
Prophet
exclaime
,
It
was
not
mine
enemies
abroad
,
but
my
companions
,
and
such
as
eate
at
my
table
betraied
me
:
What
Sir
William
Stanley
?
he
hath
the
gouernment
of
my
Chamber
,
the
charge
and
controlment
of
all
that
are
next
my
person
,
the
loue
and
fauour
of
our
Court
,
and
the
very
keyes
of
our
treasurie
.
He
made
me
a
conquerour
in
the
field
,
and
by
his
hand
I
scourged
tyrannie
out
of
his
Throne
,
therefore
it
is
impossible
,
and
I
cannot
belieue
it
.
But
when
a
second
reply
brought
him
to
the
sight
of
fairer
particulars
,
and
that
he
saw
the
smoake
,
though
it
was
but
a
smother
,
came
from
some
fire
,
he
quickly
recollected
his
spirits
,
and
with
these
verses
of
Euripides
,
set
himselfe
downe
at
the
table
of
preuention
and
reposednesse
:
Ex
amicis
autem
alios
quidem
non
certos
video
amicos
Qui
vero
sunt
rectè
,
The
same
night
vpon
better
consideration
my
Lord
Chamberlaine
was
restrained
from
his
liberty
within
the
quadrant
Tower
,
and
confined
to
his
owne
Chamber
for
a
season
:
but
when
the
crime
was
openly
prooued
,
and
the
Councell
had
as
it
were
with
a
charming
hand
of
Hecate
turned
his
inside
outward
,
and
found
all
his
excuses
to
consist
in
distinctions
,
and
his
reasons
of
defence
manifest
astipulations
of
the
matter
,
he
grew
out
of
all
patience
,
and
knew
not
what
to
say
,
or
to
doe
:
For
one
way
like
an
Noble
Prince
commiserating
his
subiects
,
he
feared
lest
his
brother
Lord
Thomas
Stanley
the
life
of
his
first
roialty
,
as
a
man
should
say
take
it
grieuously
.
Another
way
he
misdoubted
,
lest
in
remitting
the
fault
,
some
other
might
abuse
his
lenity
and
mercy
,
and
be
the
bolder
to
runne
forward
in
the
dangerous
courses
of
further
treasons
:
At
last
by
the
aduise
of
his
Councell
,
and
generall
vouge
of
the
Court
,
seuerity
(
considering
the
perill
of
those
daies
)
tooke
place
,
The
principall
point
of
his
enditement
consisted
in
this
,
that
Sir
William
Stanley
sware
and
affirmed
,
that
he
would
neuer
fight
nor
beare
Armor
against
the
yong
man
Peter
Warbeck
,
if
he
knew
of
a
truth
that
he
was
the
indubitate
sonne
of
Edward
the
fourth
,
whereupon
arose
a
coniecturall
proofe
,
that
he
bare
no
good
will
to
King
Henry
.
Again
,
the
principall
motiue
of
his
distasting
and
murmuring
at
the
King
,
was
for
being
denied
the
Earledome
of
Chester
,
when
his
brother
Lord
Thomas
was
inuested
with
the
sword
of
Derby
:
yet
the
King
besides
many
rewards
,
&
other
great
offices
made
him
his
chiefe
Chamberlaine
;
what
should
I
say
?
it
should
seem
ambition
had
blinded
his
eies
,
&
peruerted
his
iudgement
.
For
he
still
thought
on
the
benefits
which
the
King
receiued
from
the
loue
and
seruice
of
his
family
,
neuer
remembring
the
compensation
and
gratuities
returned
back
againe
to
him selfe
,
supposing
that
his
vessell
of
oile
should
still
be
filled
to
the
brims
,
or
else
he
harped
on
a
Machiuilian
position
,
thankfulnesse
is
a
burthen
,
but
reuenge
is
sweete
and
reckned
as
gaine
.
But
it
should
seeme
,
that
in
possessing
King
Richards
treasure
at
the
conquest
of
Bosworth
field
,
which
King
Henry
franckly
bestowed
vpon
him
,
and
the
command
ouer
the
people
in
the
Country
,
he
grew
proud
and
elated
,
and
so
vilepended
the
King
:
or
from
a
continual
melancholy
reuerberating
mislike
and
hate
vpon
his
staggering
conceits
,
he
more
and
more
ouer
burthened
his
heart
with
rage
and
despight
,
which
as
you
haue
heard
vnpurged
,
vented
out
those
words
of
disloialtie
to
the
losse
of
his
life
;
or
in
a
word
according
to
that
of
our
old
Tragedian
:
Animorum
Iupiter
vindex
est
minis
superborum
,
the
searcher
of
heart●
was
weary
of
his
tumors
and
ingratitude
,
and
so
tooke
the
Kings
cause
in
hand
and
vpon
good
inforcement
thrust
him
into
the
house
of
destruction
.
Otherwise
,
he
could
not
choose
but
remember
,
how
not
twentie
yeare
before
the
Law
had
interpreted
the
profuse
and
lauish
speeches
of
a
Grocer
named
Waker
,
dwelling
at
the
signe
of
the
Crowne
in
Cheapside
,
who
bad
his
sonne
learne
apace
,
and
he
would
make
him
heire
of
the
Crowne
,
meaning
his
house
he
dwelt
in
,
for
which
he
was
adiudged
to
die
:
nor
forget
the
Story
of
Burdet
the
Esquier
,
within
whose
Parke
King
Edward
hunting
,
a
white
tame
Hart
was
kild
by
chance
,
which
he
had
brought
vp
by
hand
,
which
when
Burdet
heard
of
,
he
wished
the
hornes
in
his
belly
that
had
moued
the
king
to
come
first
thither
,
for
which
he
was
drawne
,
hanged
and
quartered
.
Thus
you
see
there
is
no
iesting
with
Princes
,
nor
distasting
them
in
troublesome
times
,
nor
presuming
in
such
cases
on
their
clemency
:
For

After
this
,
many
rumors
and
libels
,
yea
defamatory
speeches
both
concerning
the
landing
of
the
new
Duke
of
Yorke
proclaimed
all
ready
in
Ireland
,
Richard
the
fourth
:
and
the
Kings
present
feare
and
proceedings
,
were
spread
abroad
,
which
compelled
as
strange
prohibitions
,
yea
,
punishments
and
reuenges
,
according
to
the
example
of
that
iudgement
,
The
Rat
,
the
Cat
,
and
Louel
the
Dog
,
Rules
all
England
vnder
a
Hog
:
so
that
he
was
farther
enforced
to
haue
many
politike
searches
through
the
whole
Realme
for
such
offenders
,
and
as
many
strong
Guards
and
Watches
for
the
defence
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
by
which
when
he
perceiued
the
care
,
vigilancie
and
good
will
of
the
Subiect
,
he
entertained
a
greater
fulnesse
of
contentment
,
and
shewed
a
better
alacrity
of
spirit
then
his
former
griefes
would
remit
:
Then
he
aduanced
Giles
Lord
Dawbuy
a
man
of
wisedome
,
experience
and
fidelitie
,
to
be
the
Chamberlaine
of
his
house
,
and
haue
the
Guard
of
his
person
.
Afterwards
he
tooke
order
with
the
Citie
and
Merchants
of
the
same
,
and
had
thei●
faithfull
Oath
and
protestation
to
looke
to
it
,
and
all
the
places
of
their
traffique
abroad
,
concerning
such
things
as
might
be
offensiue
and
preiudiciall
to
the
Kingdome
.
The
next
thing
hee
tooke
care
for
,
was
the
manning
of
the
Cinqueports
,
and
fortifying
diuers
hauens
,
with
a
stict
commanding
the
Lieutenants
&
Iustices
of
each
Shire
,
to
repaire
into
their
Countries
,
by
which
good
order
obserued
,
he
grew
somewhat
secure
and
bolder
,
to
shew
himselfe
in
publique
assemblies
vndaunted
,
or
any
way
discomfited
.
But
this
was
yet
farre
from
the
fulnesse
of
his
establishment
,
as
long
as
Ireland
remained
corrupted
,
and
swelled
againe
in
euery
place
,
Henry
Deane
late
Abbot
of
Langhton
to
be
his
Chancellour
,
and
Sr.
Ed.
Poinings
(
with
a
sufficient
preparation
)
to
bee
Lord
Generall
of
his
army
.
These
had
a
large
Commission
,
vnder
his
Deputy
the
Earle
of
Kildare
,
to
suppresse
all
innouations
,
and
spare
no
offenders
:
For
it
was
such
a
time
,
that
mercy
and
fauour
would
rather
embolden
men
to
abuses
,
then
lustice
offend
with
extremity
.
Besides
,
the
Maiesty
of
Kings
was
not
to
be
controlled
,
either
in
their
fauour
or
reuenges
,
but
they
would
simply
command
,
and
haue
the
subiect
honestly
to
obey
,
with
which
instructions
and
the
doctrine
of
Probity
out
of
our
ancient
author
,
Probi
enim
viri
officium
est
,
&
Iustitiae
i●seruire
,
Et
maleficos
punire
vbique
semper
:
They
arriued
in
Ireland
,
and
disposed
of
themselues
accordingly
.
Now
because
the
countrey
was
already
infected
with
a
superstitious
credulity
of
the
preseruation
of
one
of
the
sons
of
Edward
the
fourth
,
and
that
the
barbarous
Irish
once
beleeuing
a
thing
,
would
neuer
bee
diuerted
by
reason
or
perswasion
,
they
proceeded
the
more
cautelously
and
circumspectly
in
their
businesse
.
First
,
assembling
the
Nobility
and
better
sort
before
the
new
Chancellour
,
who
with
all
attractiue
demeanour
and
elocution
,
perswaded
them
not
onely
to
persist
in
obedience
to
the
King
,
and
loyalty
to
the
gouernment
,
but
to
aide
and
assist
his
Maiesties
forces
vnder
Sr.
Ed.
Poinings
,
with
their
power
,
strength
,
and
ability
,
especially
against
such
rebells
,
as
rather
through
factious
malice
and
wilfull
reuolts
,
then
blindnesse
of
errour
or
folly
had
adhered
vnto
Perkin
,
or
any
of
his
associates
,
in
which
they
knew
there
was
reason
and
sufficiency
of
enforcement
.
For
amongst
themselues
,
the
petty
Lords
would
endure
no
competition
of
soueraignty
,
and
their
Law-Tanist
established
him
,
that
for
his
heroike
actions
deserued
to
bee
honoured
,
and
by
his
worthy
endeauors
obtained
the
jurisdiction
and
inheritance
.
So
that
their
owne
Priests
could
tell
them
,
Ex
paruis
magna
comparantur
,
and
if
it
were
so
in
petty
gouernments
,
what
was
it
in
mighty
Monarchies
and
with
regardable
Kings
,
amongst
whom
:
Nulla
fides
regni
socijs
,
omnisque
potestas
:
Impatiens
consortis
erat
:
—
Therefore
to
auoyde
the
imputation
of
treason
,
and
the
fearefulnesse
of
reuenge
,
from
a
Princes
incensed
indignation
,
hee
aduised
them
to
a
tenacity
and
strong
continuance
in
their
loyalty
.
To
this
their
answer
was
,
as
souldiers
in
a
camp
after
a
mutiny
,
sad
lookes
and
small
repentance
:
faire
words
,
but
little
performance
.
For
they
all
promised
assurance
off
aith
,
but
no
man
determined
the
due
performance
,
onely
the
better
sort
,
or
(
if
you
will
)
such
as
dwelled
within
the
English
pale
,
or
had
beene
enobled
or
enabled
by
the
Prince
,
to
liue
in
richer
forme
and
eminence
then
others
:
answered
directly
,
they
would
acknowledge
no
King
but
Henry
,
nor
supreame
Lord
,
but
such
as
should
be
extracted
from
the
vnion
of
the
mariage
betweene
the
two
Roses
,
and
to
this
they
were
the
rather
emboldned
,
because
the
Earle
of
Kildire
being
Deputy
,
seemed
to
maintaine
their
submission
,
and
iustifie
their
intents
:
so
that
Sr.
Ed.
Poinings
had
little
to
say
at
that
time
,
more
then
hee
hoped
in
the
confidence
of
their
promises
,
and
relied
on
their
worthy
integrity
:
yet
I
dare
sweare
,
if
hee
had
beene
examined
on
his
conscience
,
and
brought
to
the
barre
of
discouery
for
his
thoughts
,
he
would
haue
cried
out
with
the
Poet
:
At
paucos
,
Whereupon
hee
prepared
all
his
forces
against
the
wilde
Irish
,
to
whom
,
as
hee
was
enformed
,
diuers
of
the
rest
had
fled
for
succour
.
I
could
heere
enlarge
this
discourse
with
a
topographicall
description
of
the
countrey
,
and
conditions
of
the
people
,
because
I
haue
personally
ouerlooked
their
actions
,
and
beene
a
passenger
euen
from
one
side
of
the
countrey
to
the
other
,
but
the
times
are
full
of
the
experience
of
many
men
,
and
diuers
explorations
haue
discouered
the
vnswept
corners
of
this
sauage
and
superstitious
people
,
whom
neuer
man
shall
see
ciuill
or
once
affecting
the
handsomnesse
and
wealth
of
the
other
parts
of
Europe
,
till
either
it
grow
more
populous
,
or
the
King
be
as
willing
as
hee
is
able
,
to
extirpate
(
as
it
were
by
the
roots
)
the
Bards
,
Rimers
,
Harpers
and
Priests
,
that
hang
vpon
them
,
and
sticke
close
vnto
them
,
as
some
deformed
wen
in
a
straight
growing
tree
,
or
(
if
you
will
)
venemous
cankour
,
which
will
in
time
either
eat
out
root
and
rinde
,
or
(
for
the
time
)
disfigure
and
disproportion
the
proudest
comelinesse
of
the
best
Cedars
in
the
forrest
.
But
to
our
story
.
Sr.
Edward
Poinings
,
Heluetij
,
Whereupon
the
worthy
Generall
,
with
his
other
Captaines
,
began
to
complaine
,
but
knew
no
way
of
redresse
,
his
men
died
,
the
Souldiers
were
slaine
,
the
army
decayed
,
the
Irish
insulted
,
the
auxiliaries
failed
,
and
not
a
man
which
promised
assistance
,
came
in
to
help
him
:
so
that
he
was
enraged
at
the
perfidiousnesse
,
and
compelled
to
retire
to
Dublin
,
all
exasperated
to
despight
,
by
which
hee
aimeth
at
the
highest
in
his
displeasure
,
laying
the
fault
and
blame
of
his
preposterous
proceedings
on
Gerald
Earle
of
Kildare
,
But
when
he
came
before
the
King
and
Councell
to
bee
examined
of
treason
,
and
matters
laid
to
his
charge
,
eyther
his
innocencie
was
a
Perseus
shield
against
this
Gorgons
head
of
calumniation
,
or
his
wit
and
delicate
iudgement
brought
him
out
of
the
labyrinth
of
those
troubles
,
or
the
times
afford●d
not
such
seueritie
,
and
proceedings
,
or
the
King
had
other
matters
to
thinke
vpon
,
or
indeed
it
was
no
pollecie
to
rub
these
new
soares
with
rude
hands
,
according
to
the
rule
Horrent
admotas
vulnera
cruda
manus
:
For
hee
was
quietly
dismissed
,
thanked
,
rewarded
,
and
of
Deputie
made
Lieutenant
,
and
so
sent
backe
againe
,
vpon
the
engaging
of
his
hononr
to
withstand
the
landing
of
Perkin
,
if
euer
he
came
into
Ireland
.
By
this
occasion
the
King
was
without
feare
of
battaile
,
and
determined
his
progresse
about
Midsommer
to
visit
his
mother
,
lying
at
Latham
in
Lancashire
,
still
wife
to
the
earle
of
Derbie
:
But
as
he
was
preparing
his
iourney
,
Perkin
▪
or
Warbeck
,
or
Prince
,
or
Richard
Duke
of
Yorke
,
or
Richard
the
fourth
,
all
is
one
man
,
and
all
had
one
end
.
And
questionlesse
,
if
at
his
first
repairing
into
Ireland
,
hee
had
made
for
England
,
while
that
rumour
had
possessed
the
people
,
and
the
looking
after
nouelty
busied
them
with
strange
and
impossible
hope
,
while
euery
one
stood
amazed
to
gaze
after
wonders
,
while
the
conspiracy
was
in
growth
,
and
had
diuers
factious
Nobles
to
forme
it
to
a
larger
birth
,
while
the
souldiers
desired
to
bee
doing
,
and
men
grew
weary
of
ease
and
quietnesse
:
The
businesse
might
haue
plunged
the
Kingdome
,
and
successe
tooke
a
flight
with
strong
wings
indeede
,
whereby
you
may
perceiue
the
sweetnesse
and
benefit
of
expedition
in
all
dangerous
businesse
,
and
resemble
vniustifiable
actions
to
theeuish
bargaines
,
which
either
must
bee
made
away
in
the
darke
,
or
hastned
apace
in
the
proudest
market
place
according
to
the
saying
:
—
Praceps
facit
omne
timendum
Victor
,
Notwithstanding
,
our
great
Duches
remained
vndaunted
,
and
in
a
manner
of
scorne
to
depend
vpon
others
promises
,
she
aduentured
on
her
owne
power
,
and
determined
to
put
him
vnder
the
wings
of
Fortune
,
let
her
ouershade
him
as
she
pleased
:
so
gathering
his
forces
together
,
and
furnishing
her
ships
with
a
sufficient
company
,
and
some
valiant
Captaines
,
shee
sent
him
to
sea
,
and
onely
prayed
to
the
wrathfull
Nemesis
,
as
authour
of
her
reuenge
,
for
successe
and
thriuing
in
so
glorious
an
attempt
.
Heere
were
of
all
nations
and
conditions
of
men
,
Bankrupts
,
Sanctuary-men
,
Theeues
,
Robbers
,
Vagabonds
,
and
diuers
others
,
who
affecting
liberty
,
rapine
and
spoile
,
desisted
from
honest
labor
,
to
be
the
seruants
of
dishonest
rebellion
.
His
fortune
(
as
we
now
prophanely
abuse
that
terme
)
draue
him
on
the
coast
of
Kent
before
Deale-Castle
,
—
In
infinito
enim
exercit●
Incoercita
turba
,
Whereupon
hee
durst
not
land
himselfe
,
and
was
sorry
so
many
of
his
company
were
on
shore
,
but
seeing
there
was
no
remedy
,
he
sent
others
,
if
neede
were
,
to
releue
them
,
or
bring
them
backe
againe
to
his
ships
.
When
the
Kentishmen
beheld
such
a
rabble
of
strangers
and
dissolute
persons
,
and
wisely
foresaw
that
there
was
no
no
man
of
honor
or
eminence
to
giue
credit
to
the
attempt
,
they
presently
coniectured
,
that
they
came
rather
to
spoile
and
forage
the
coasts
,
then
to
releeue
a
distressed
Prince
in
his
right
:
and
so
running
the
right
way
indeed
,
stood
firmly
for
their
Countrey
,
and
set
vpon
them
as
they
were
stragling
vp
and
downe
in
the
villages
,
enforcing
the
better
sort
and
better
armed
backe
againe
to
their
boats
,
and
surprizing
such
,
as
could
not
maiutaine
the
quarrell
,
and
had
presumed
too
farre
from
the
maine
battell
,
Moumford
,
Corbet
,
Whight
,
Bets
,
Quintine
,
or
Geuge
:
who
were
all
brought
to
Sr.
Iohn
Pechy
high
Sheriffe
,
and
so
raled
in
ropes
,
like
horses
drawing
in
a
cart
,
sent
vp
to
London
,
and
there
executed
in
diuers
places
adioyning
to
the
City
,
whereby
Perkin
had
matter
of
disconsolation
for
the
time
,
and
time
enough
to
saile
backe
againe
into
Flanders
,
to
entertaine
better
aduice
and
more
company
.
The
King
(
as
you
heard
)
vnderstanding
of
this
attempt
,
left
his
progresse
and
came
to
London
,
where
assured
of
this
good
successe
,
he
sent
Sr.
Richard
Guilford
into
Kent
to
thank
the
Sheriffe
and
the
people
,
for
their
loyalty
,
obedience
,
and
valiant
circumspection
,
which
had
so
quickly
dissipated
his
enemies
,
and
quieted
the
Countrey
,
giuing
present
order
to
his
Nauy
to
scowre
the
narrow
seas
,
to
the
Prouince
to
keep
the
coasts
,
to
the
Watches
to
fire
the
Beacons
,
to
the
Captaines
to
prepare
their
Souldiers
,
and
to
all
sorts
to
attend
their
seuerall
charges
,
according
to
the
ancient
and
laudable
custome
of
the
Kingdome
.
When
Perkin
and
his
Captaines
were
arriued
in
Flanders
,
and
found
,
how
their
former
delaies
had
beene
a
great
obstacle
,
and
hindrance
to
their
proceedings
,
they
resolued
to
remedy
the
same
in
their
following
courses
,
and
by
the
contrary
celerity
and
speedinesse
to
wipe
away
the
blots
of
their
weaknesse
,
and
faint
proceedings
,
as
if
they
had
learned
of
our
Poet
:
Sic
agitur
censura
,
Notwithstanding
,
because
they
were
now
resolued
,
that
the
King
taking
notice
of
this
on-set
and
attempt
,
would
fortifie
the
Coasts
,
and
be
in
a
readinesse
with
well
prepared
forces
:
they
determined
to
saile
into
Ireland
,
MOst
mighty
and
renouned
King
:
Iudicis
officium
est
vt
res
,
ita
tempora
rerum
quaerere
—
and
therefore
I
come
not
to
you
altogether
like
a
cast
away
or
banquerout
,
to
recouer
my
estate
by
a
cosening
agreement
with
my
creditours
for
a
trifle
,
when
there
may
be
sufficient
to
pay
the
principall
:
nor
like
a
run-away
from
a
hard-hearted
Master
:
or
if
you
will
,
to
take
my
liberty
the
better
,
to
cast
of
the
yoake
of
honest
and
ciuill
obedience
,
where
there
is
a
duty
and
necessity
of
seruice
imposed
:
but
as
a
stranger
subiect
to
shipwrack
,
and
the
hassardous
endurances
of
a
tempest
,
I
am
enforced
to
your
refuge
,
as
much
enduced
with
your
Princely
delight
in
deeds
of
charitie
and
hospitality
,
as
my
owne
wants
or
recouery
:
I
might
adde
your
famous
actions
,
renowne
,
and
heroicke
commiseration
of
a
dis-esteemed
Prince
,
but
Pudor
est
vlteriora
loqui
:
And
although
I
may
confesse
my selfe
to
resemble
the
man
in
the
Gospell
that
fell
amongst
theeues
,
whom
diuers
looking
vpon
passed
by
without
reliefe
:
yet
,
at
last
he
found
one
Samaritan
to
pay
the
cost
and
defray
the
charges
of
the
Surgerie
:
so
haue
I
done
a
worthy
aunt
,
friend
,
and
noble
kinswoman
to
acknowledge
her
afflicted
Nephew
,
who
hath
helped
me
accordingly
:
so
that
I
make
no
question
,
that
from
the
example
of
a
woman
your
Princely
commiseration
and
powerfull
coadiutement
shall
open
their
larger
embraces
,
considering
that
you
aboue
all
other
Princes
haue
beene
made
acquainted
with
the
distractions
of
our
family
,
and
from
time
to
time
know
how
the
house
of
Yorke
hath
beene
dilacerated
,
and
torne
in
peeces
by
the
cruell
hand
of
Tyrants
and
home-bred
Wolues
,
which
whether
it
were
the
permission
of
God
or
the
secrets
of
his
diuine
Iustice
;
I
will
not
now
dispute
vpon
:
Only
,
I
must
be
bold
to
say
,
that
when
my
father
obtained
the
Crowne
,
and
reuenged
his
fathers
wrongs
and
death
,
there
were
signes
of
Gods
fauour
and
assistance
in
the
faire
issue
prepared
,
and
sweet
fruit
of
such
a
flourishing
tree
,
namely
two
sonnes
and
fiue
daughters
,
who
were
simply
committed
to
the
tutelage
and
protectorship
of
an
vnnaturall
Vncle
,
who
proued
a
tyrant
and
destroier
of
our
blood
and
progeny
,
so
that
I
may
well
cry
out
as
Ariadne
to
Theseus
:
Mitius
inueni
,
quam
te
,
genus
omne
serarum
:
Notwithstanding
,
Most
mighty
King
,
how
euer
my
Princely
Brother
miscarried
,
as
swallowed
vp
in
the
iawes
of
cruelty
and
slaughter
,
It
should
seeme
the
murtherers
were
affrighted
at
that
they
had
done
already
,
and
desisted
from
a
full
prosecution
of
the
Tyrants
command
,
or
confounded
with
compunction
of
spirit
spared
me
,
and
secretly
conueied
me
out
of
the
hands
of
such
an
homicide
and
blood
sucker
(
for
so
I
hope
without
offence
I
may
rightly
tearme
him
)
and
although
by
this
meanes
and
the
supportation
of
high
borne
Buckingham
he
obtained
the
Diadem
:
yet
did
God
follow
him
with
the
swiftest
pace
of
wrath
and
anger
,
and
at
last
I
must
needs
say
,
scourged
him
with
rods
of
vengeance
indeed
;
for
he
presently
lost
his
sonne
,
and
his
friend
and
coadiutor
lost
himselfe
:
what
afterwards
chanced
vnto
me
,
as
my
strange
deliuerance
,
my
bringing
vp
in
Tornay
vnder
certaine
supposed
parents
of
honest
reputation
,
my
trauailes
into
forraine
Countries
,
my
aduentures
abroad
,
my
endurances
at
home
,
with
such
like
;
it
would
be
to
tedious
to
relate
,
and
therefore
I
desist
to
put
you
now
to
further
wonder
and
amasement
at
the
same
,
because
I
haue
them
as
it
were
registred
in
a
scedule
,
which
at
your
Princely
pleasure
you
may
ouer-looke
,
with
the
Duches
and
Councels
of
Burgundies
hands
to
confirme
the
same
:
so
that
I
confesse
when
the
King
of
France
sent
for
me
out
of
Ireland
,
I
was
in
a
manner
secure
of
my
estate
,
and
thought
vpon
no
further
assurance
,
then
his
gratious
apprehension
of
my
ind●bitate
claime
.
But
it
should
seeme
(
most
gratious
King
)
that
you
are
reserued
for
the
glory
of
this
businesse
,
and
euerlasting
memory
of
so
remarkeable
an
action
,
wherein
I
submit
my selfe
,
ships
,
and
people
to
your
guidance
and
direction
,
Oh
doe
not
then
annihilate
my
confidence
,
nor
reiect
my
demands
.
For
next
to
the
high
controuler
of
mens
actions
,
I
haue
put
my selfe
vnder
the
shadow
of
your
supportation
,
and
altogether
rely
on
the
vnity
of
your
willingnesse
and
power
,
to
beare
me
through
the
difficulties
of
this
passage
.
When
he
had
made
an
end
and
giuen
them
cause
of
some
amasement
at
his
yeares
and
tendernesse
of
experience
to
deliuer
yet
his
minde
so
freely
,
Hinc
amor
,
hinc
timor
est
,
ipsum
tim●r
auget
amorem
:
he
gaue
order
for
his
entertainment
accordingly
,
whereby
he
had
time
with
his
wearied
people
to
repose
himselfe
,
and
the
King
,
occasion
to
thinke
of
many
matters
:
yet
rather
for
custome
then
to
be
diuerted
from
his
resolutions
,
he
called
his
Councell
and
disputed
the
matter
with
them
;
they
again
,
(
as
it
happened
to
Rheoboam
,
and
shall
be
withall
the
Princes
in
the
World
)
grew
to
contradiction
,
and
deuided
themseelues
,
some
standing
for
their
Countrie
,
some
for
their
priuate
affection
,
some
to
please
the
Prince
,
and
some
to
enioy
a
good
opinion
of
polecie
,
and
wisedome
.
The
grauer
sort
and
of
greatest
experience
disannulled
all
the
former
intimation
of
the
Prince
,
with
the
impossibility
of
the
businesse
,
as
if
he
were
but
a
bare
assumer
of
titles
indeed
.
The
quieter
sort
and
such
as
had
smarted
with
the
dissentions
betweene
England
and
Scotland
disclaimed
any
further
warr●
,
and
were
weary
with
that
which
had
passed
.
The
yonger
sort
apprehended
it
,
as
a
worthy
enterprise
,
and
though
it
had
but
colour
of
commiseration
,
yet
considering
he
was
befriended
from
the
Emperour
,
King
of
the
Romains
,
and
the
whole
state
of
the
Low-Countries
,
it
could
not
choose
but
help
them
with
many
friends
.
There
was
another
sort
,
who
confessing
the
pouerty
of
their
Countrie
,
concluded
,
that
by
this
meanes
by
forraging
,
spoiling
a●d
getting
good
booties
in
England
,
much
wealth
might
inrich
them
without
losse
or
hindrance
of
their
owne
,
and
so
cared
not
how
the
warre
began
,
nor
how
long
it
continued
.
The
last
sort
consisted
of
such
,
who
because
they
would
haue
their
credit
enlarged
from
an
opinion
of
States-men
,
and
high
reaching
capacities
,
argued
(
as
we
say
)
on
both
sides
,
pro
&
contra
,
and
from
a
kind
of
Enthymema
raised
profit
and
emolument
to
the
Kingdome
out
of
their
sophistry
:
That
if
the
Duke
were
assisted
and
preuailed
,
Scotland
was
sure
to
confirme
their
owne
conditions
:
If
he
were
countenanced
,
though
not
preuailing
,
the
King
of
England
would
accord
to
any
offers
or
demands
,
rather
then
King
Ieames
should
take
part
with
his
aduersarie
and
so
strange
a
competitor
.
Whereupon
it
was
resolued
,
that
without
further
diffidence
,
or
drawing
the
Duches
of
Burgundies
businesse
in
question
,
the
King
should
entertaine
the
Prince
,
who
presently
honored
him
accordingly
,
and
caused
him
to
be
proclaimed
the
Duke
of
Yorke
,
shewing
him
all
the
fauours
the
Countrie
could
afford
,
and
affording
him
such
entertainement
,
as
they
imagined
was
both
befitting
his
person
and
condition
:
He
againe
,
as
if
that
spes
bona
dat
vires
cheered
himselfe
,
and
assumed
a
new
kind
of
behauiour
,
both
tempered
with
grauity
,
and
yet
commended
for
cheerefull
and
well
becomming
:
so
that
by
the
way
of
solace
and
inuitation
to
pleasure
and
delight
,
he
hauked
and
▪
hunted
,
yea
,
the
Ladies
of
the
Country
graced
the
Court
,
and
came
with
all
conueniencie
and
befitting
their
estates
to
the
Citie
.
For
vnderstanding
so
great
a
Prince
;
in
possibilitie
to
be
one
of
the
mightiest
Kings
of
Europe
;
not
full
eighteene
yeares
of
age
,
yong
,
wise
,
and
in
the
compleate
strength
of
beauty
,
was
resident
amongst
them
,
they
conceiued
matters
beyond
the
Moone
,
and
thought
themselues
happy
if
he
would
fancy
or
fasten
vpon
any
of
them
.
What
should
I
say
,
although
with
the
Poet
:
Tarda
solet
magnis
rebus
inesse
fides
:
Yet
heere
was
no
mistrust
,
nor
any
way
giuen
to
feare
and
displeasure
,
but
as
the
time
,
businesse
,
and
place
afforded
,
shewes
,
masques
,
and
sundry
deuises
inuited
him
to
his
contentment
,
and
the
present
ouercomming
all
pensiuenesse
:
so
he
courted
with
some
,
danced
with
others
,
Katherine
Gourdon
daughter
to
Alexander
Earle
of
Huntle
nigh
kinswoman
to
the
Crowne
:
and
because
she
should
not
thinke
him
barren
of
education
,
nor
heart
bound
to
his
ambitious
designes
,
he
tooke
an
opportunitie
thus
to
discouer
his
loue
vnto
her
,
and
good
opinion
of
her
.
Lady
(
said
he
)
and
the
first
of
Ladies
,
that
euer
vsurped
my
libertie
,
or
taught
my
tongue
to
pronounce
the
accent
of
affection
or
liking
,
If
I
proceed
not
so
passionate
as
your
sex
expects
,
or
you
may
imagin
is
the
custome
of
Courtiers
,
I
pray
you
impute
it
to
the
multiplicity
of
my
businesse
and
greatnes
of
my
affaires
:
besides
,
it
is
not
seemly
with
Princes
to
betray
their
high
spirits
into
the
hands
of
deceit
and
ouerworki●g
fancy
;
yea
,
foppishnes
either
of
words
,
or
gesture
:
yet
,
concerning
your
person
,
I
can
say
with
Paris
to
Helena
.
Si
tu
Venisses
pariter
certamen
in
illud
,
in
dubium
Veneris
Palma
futura
fuit
:
and
touching
my
good
will
;
If
I
liue
,
I
will
make
you
as
great
in
the
World
as
my selfe
,
and
desire
no
more
but
that
you
keep
you
within
the
limits
of
loue
and
obedience
,
that
our
children
may
be
our
owne
,
and
the
Common-wealth
reioice
they
bee
not
mocked
or
deceiued
with
extra●eall
enheritors
:
What
I
am
,
you
now
see
,
and
their
is
no
boasting
in
distresse
:
what
I
may
be
,
I
must
put
it
to
the
triall
,
and
submit
to
the
diuine
prouidence
:
If
you
dare
now
aduenture
on
the
aduersity
,
I
sweare
to
make
you
partaker
of
the
prosperity
;
yea
,
lay
my
Crowne
at
your
feet
,
that
you
shall
play
with
me
as
Apame
did
with
Darius
,
to
command
and
I
obey
:
Take
me
now
then
into
your
embraces
,
and
I
will
adore
and
reuerence
your
vertues
,
as
you
commiserate
my
misfortunes
:
Oh
giue
me
leaue
to
say
no
more
,
lest
I
be
transported
to
vndecencies
;
be
now
conformable
,
and
let
me
be
the
seruant
of
your
desires
,
and
you
shall
be
hereafter
the
Mistris
of
my
performances
;
If
I
preuaile
,
let
this
kisse
seale
vp
the
contract
,
and
this
kisse
be
a
witnesse
to
the
endentures
,
and
this
kisse
,
because
one
witnesse
is
not
sufficient
,
consummate
the
assurance
,
and
so
with
a
kind
of
reuerence
,
and
fashionable
gesture
,
after
he
had
kist
her
thrise
,
he
tooke
her
in
both
his
hands
crosse-wise
,
&
gazed
vpon
her
with
a
kind
of
putting
her
from
him
and
pulling
her
to
him
,
and
so
againe
and
againe
rekissed
her
,
and
set
her
in
her
place
with
a
prety
manner
of
enforcement
.
The
yong
Lady
pleased
as
well
with
the
complement
of
his
behauiour
,
as
the
matter
in
hand
(
which
was
the
hope
of
one
of
the
greatest
Diadems
in
the
World
)
whether
as
louers
,
who
in
a
simpathy
of
liking
,
applauding
any
thing
from
their
amorosos
,
seemed
pleased
with
the
very
accent
of
his
voice
,
and
variety
of
the
Court-ship
:
or
vnaccustomed
to
such
wooers
,
she
remained
glad
of
the
opportunity
:
or
taught
before-hand
what
to
doe
,
she
resolued
to
cast
away
all
peeuishnesse
and
nicety
:
or
indeed
rauished
with
the
thing
proposed
,
she
was
loath
to
be
silent
,
considering
she
was
pleased
,
and
could
not
be
displeased
,
considering
he
had
begun
so
kindely
with
her
,
and
therefore
answered
him
with
a
prety
blushing
modesty
,
to
this
effect
.
My
Lord
,
If
I
should
act
a
true
womans
part
,
Non
ego
sum
titulis
surripienda
tuis
:
whereupon
some
resemble
vs
to
lapwings
,
that
make
a
great
ciulation
farthest
from
their
nests
:
But
I
meane
not
to
deale
so
with
you
,
but
come
as
neere
as
I
can
in
my
answere
to
that
which
consorteth
with
reason
and
probabilitie
:
If
I
were
then
absolutly
at
my
owne
dispo●ing
,
I
would
thanke
you
more
then
I
doe
,
and
thinke
you
for
your
gentlenesse
and
faire
demeanour
worthy
of
any
creature
,
or
thing
you
could
desire
.
As
for
your
disclaiming
deceitfull
words
and
flattering
Oratory
concerning
our
beautie
,
comelinesse
,
vertues
,
and
such
like
baits
to
draw
vs
into
the
net
of
selfe-loue
,
and
amasement
:
I
like
it
the
better
,
and
wish
that
all
women
were
of
my
minde
to
marry
vpon
faire
and
reasonable
conditions
,
and
not
be
hurried
away
sometimes
to
their
ouerthrowes
with
the
violence
of
passion
and
affection
,
which
is
the
best
excuse
they
can
make
for
their
folly
,
yea
many
times
simplicity
.
But
you
see
I
am
the
Fathers
daughter
,
and
the
Kings
cosin
,
so
that
I
will
in
no
sort
preferre
my
owne
will
before
their
directions
,
and
disposing
of
me
:
If
then
it
pleaseth
them
to
hazzard
me
,
or
(
as
you
please
)
to
bestow
me
in
this
sort
,
I
shall
be
proud
to
call
you
mine
,
and
glad
if
you
vouchsafe
to
esteeme
me
yours
:
Lay
then
your
foundation
on
them
,
and
you
shall
see
the
frame
of
the
building
erected
to
your
owne
liking
:
For
belieue
it
,
such
Wardes
as
my selfe
,
may
well
be
resembled
to
delicate
plant●
in
rich
grounds
which
either
grow
too
rancke
and
out
of
order
for
want
of
pruning
and
looking
to
:
or
thriue
not
in
their
situation
for
lack
of
refreshing
and
manuring
,
all
wich
is
reformed
by
the
discretion
of
a
skilfull
gardner
and
aduised
ouerseer
:
Therefore
noble
Sir
repaire
I
say
to
the
Master
of
the
family
,
leaue
is
light
&
know
their
pleasures
for
your
admission
into
this
Nursery
,
and
then
shall
I
be
glad
to
be
a
flower
of
your
owne
choise
,
whether
it
be
for
profit
,
pleasure
,
or
exornation
.
What
need
more
words
?
the
mariage
was
consummated
,
Ipse
locus
misero
ferre
volebat
opem
:
But
when
he
more
and
more
perceiued
,
that
the
Scots
(
like
a
peece
of
wax
)
were
rolled
together
by
his
warming
hand
,
and
fashioned
to
what
forme
hee
pleased
,
hee
then
made
no
question
to
hammer
out
his
designes
on
the
anuile
of
preuailing
,
to
their
euerlasting
glory
,
and
his
establishment
:
yet
heerein
hee
went
beyond
himselfe
,
and
deceiued
both
them
and
himselfe
,
by
warranting
powerfull
aydes
in
his
assistanc●
,
from
all
the
parts
of
the
Realme
,
as
soone
as
he
should
set
footing
in
England
:
notwithstanding
,
they
prepared
all
things
for
an
inuasion
,
and
euery
man
was
ready
to
please
the
King
and
pleasure
the
Prince
:
yea
,
they
were
so
forward
,
that
in
hope
of
gaine
,
spoile
,
victory
,
renowne
,
and
reuenge
,
they
cared
not
whether
the
Dukes
title
were
good
or
no
,
and
so
with
a
well
appoynted
army
and
sufficient
forces
,
they
marched
towards
the
confines
and
borders
of
the
North.
Intrepidus

Spectator

:
Wherein
questionlesse
they
had
gone
forward
,
but
that
they
perceiued
no
ayde
or
succour
to
come
from
any
parts
of
England
to
restore
this
titular
Duke
.
Besides
,
the
souldiers
(
full
of
spoile
and
bloud
)
would
goe
no
further
,
till
they
had
sent
their
presents
to
their
wiues
and
children
,
or
returned
themselues
to
gratifie
one
another
,
after
such
a
victory
:
but
in
truth
the
King
resoluing
it
would
bee
reuenged
,
determined
rather
to
retire
with
this
assured
victory
,
then
to
tarry
the
nuncupatiue
Dukes
vnsure
and
vncertaine
proceedings
,
and
so
reculed
into
Scotland
againe
.
Some
remember
,
Surely
,
—
fletus
quid
fundis
inanes
?
Me
thinkes
your
care
is
rather
ridiculous
then
super
fluous
,
to
bee
thus
dolent
for
another
mans
possessions
:
yea
,
I
see
not
,
but
your
claime
is
so
remote
and
disanulled
,
that
it
must
be
an
Herculean
labour
to
settle
you
in
any
of
their
cities
and
petty
prouinces
.
But
for
calling
England
your
land
and
Realme
,
and
the
Inhabitants
your
people
and
subiects
,
it
is
as
wonderfull
to
me
,
as
displeasing
to
your selfe
,
that
in
all
this
time
,
neither
Gentleman
,
nor
man
of
worth
hath
extended
a
daring
hand
,
or
(
if
you
will
)
commisserable
arme
of
assistance
toward
you
:
nay
,
though
the
warre
was
begun
in
your
name
,
for
your
sake
,
and
within
your
Realme
,
of
which
you
say
you
are
the
indubitate
heire
,
and
inuited
to
the
same
by
your
owne
people
and
faction
.
Alas
,
—
Turbam

,
Although
this
came
roundly
of
,
and
sauoured
some
what
better
then
the
former
:
yet
the
King
replied
not
at
all
,
but
was
content
with
his
first
reproofe
,
being
more
fearefull
euery
day
then
other
,
that
this
intricate
businesse
would
be
a
worke
of
wonder
,
and
to
fashion
the
lump
of
such
deformity
,
to
any
handsome
or
substantiall
proportion
,
must
be
dangerous
and
preiudiciall
for
euer
to
the
Scottish
crowne
.
After
the
Nobles
had
beene
thus
startled
in
Northumland
with
the
clamours
of
the
people
,
and
saw
the
Inhabitants
flie
euery
way
from
the
fury
of
the
Scots
,
they
fortified
their
holds
,
The
twelfth
yeere
began
with
a
Parliament
,
both
for
the
settling
the
vncertaine
affaires
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
the
obtaining
a
subsidy
,
or
other
disbursements
of
money
for
the
furnishing
an
army
into
Scotland
,
to
which
all
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
opened
willingly
their
cofers
,
and
cheerefully
their
hearts
,
exclaiming
against
their
immanity
,
and
proclaiming
their
loyalty
and
endeauours
,
to
prosecute
them
with
all
reuenge
,
that
durst
so
affright
the
Kingdome
,
and
affront
the
peace
and
tranquility
of
the
Common-wealth
.
Of
this
army
,
was
Giles
Lord
Dawbney
,
the
Kings
Chamberlaine
,
made
Lieutenant
Generall
,
a
man
of
no
lesse
wit
then
experience
,
of
no
lesse
experience
then
hardinesse
,
of
no
lesse
hardinesse
then
moderation
and
gouernment
.
But
see
the
changes
of
human
life
,
and
the
mischeefes
to
which
the
best
men
and
greatest
Princes
are
subiect
,
as
if
the
Poet
were
againe
to
cry
out
:
Heu
non
est
quic
quam
fidum
:
neque
certa
faelicit
as
:
As
he
was
marching
forward
with
his
forces
,
Thomas
Moorton
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
Sr.
Reinold
Brey
,
as
principall
directours
&
setters
forward
of
these
impositions
against
them
,
saying
plainely
,
it
was
a
shame
,
that
a
small
incursion
of
the
Scots
,
which
was
not
onely
customary
,
but
as
soone
extinguished
as
kindled
,
should
raise
such
exactions
,
and
incite
the
Kingdome
to
vnsufferable
turmoiles
,
with
a
generall
warre
and
tumultuous
hurliburly
:
to
which
things
,
when
the
Commissioners
would
haue
gently
answered
,
and
honestly
maintained
the
Kings
purposes
and
prarogatiues
,
Thomas
Flamock
a
Gentleman
learned
in
the
Lawes
,
and
Michael
Ioseph
a
Black-smith
,
tooke
vpon
them
the
defence
of
the
Commons
,
threatning
without
further
reasoning
the
matter
,
both
the
receiuers
,
and
all
such
,
whom
they
imployed
as
inferiour
officers
vnder
them
.
By
which
occasion
,
according
to
that
saying
,
Res
vehemens
multitudo
,
improbos
cum
habuerit
praefectos
:
he
became
a
monstrous
head
to
these
vnruly
bodies
,
exhorting
the
people
to
arme
themselues
,
and
not
be
afraid
to
follow
them
in
this
quarrell
.
For
they
intended
neither
hurt
to
any
creature
,
O
rabies
inaudita
!
O
wretched
and
abused
people
!
that
thinke
of
nothing
but
present
rages
,
nor
once
admit
of
any
prouidence
,
to
consider
of
following
punishments
,
what
euer
sudden
euents
contriue
,
but
in
their
disobedience
against
God
▪
their
Prince
and
Countrey
,
resemble
a
violent
sea
,
a
burning
torrent
,
a
tempes●uous
winde
,
all
which
(
with
extremity
and
impetuous
force
)
spoile
the
trees
,
ouerrunne
and
swallow
vp
the
lower
ground
,
consume
all
things
,
and
in
the
end
leaue
the
mischeefe
to
the
wringing
of
hands
,
crying
of
the
people
,
&
deprecations
of
the
better
sort
,
who
impute
such
vengeance
to
the
power
and
Iustice
of
God
,
that
punisheth
sins
,
&
will
not
suffer
disobedience
&
horrible
villanies
vnrewarded
.
For
neuer
rebellion
preuailed
in
their
greatest
forwardnesse
,
nor
ended
without
vnsufferable
damages
wrought
by
their
vnrulinesse
,
which
rather
tended
to
thefts
,
robberies
,
spoiles
and
slaughters
,
then
reformation
or
honest
coercion
of
disorders
.
But
to
our
story
.
When
the
King
was
aduertized
of
these
troubles
and
exorbitant
attempts
,
which
gathered
like
a
clowd
,
threa●ning
a
tempest
round
about
him
,
and
saw
into
what
perplexity
he
was
now
detruded
,
hauing
warre
on
euery
side
,
he
compared
himselfe
to
a
man
rising
in
a
darke
night
,
and
going
into
an●vndrest
roome
,
hitting
his
head
against
that
post
,
running
against
that
table
,
meeting
with
his
shinnes
such
a
stoole
or
forme
,
and
staggering
vp
and
downe
against
one
blocke
or
another
:
and
so
stood
(
for
the
time
)
amazed
,
not
knowing
what
to
say
,
what
to
do
,
or
with
whom
to
find
fault
,
till
with
a
kind
of
sigh
he
vented
out
this
saying
of
Euripides
.
—
Similes
sumus
nautis
,
But
to
complaine
of
God
or
men
,
would
rather
aggrauate
his
greefe
,
then
procure
his
redresse
,
and
therefore
although
he
well
knew
that
Princes
were
the
tennis-bals
of
fortune
,
and
subiects
of
mutabilitie
and
alteration
,
whereas
he
must
submit
to
the
diuine
prouidence
:
yet
,
he
also
vnderstood
there
was
no
iying
still
in
this
deploration
without
the
ordinary
practise
of
such
remedies
as
God
had
appointed
in
their
seuerall
workings
,
and
therefore
prepared
his
Armies
either
to
bring
this
disturbance
to
a
quiet
attonement
,
or
whip
the
Rebellion
with
the
scourges
of
fire
and
sword
:
But
when
againe
he
considered
the
Scots
were
his
enemies
,
and
must
be
suppressed
;
the
Westerne
Rebels
were
at
his
doores
and
must
be
repugned
:
France
was
wauering
,
and
must
be
looked
vnto
:
Flaunders
threatning
,
and
must
be
appeased
:
Perkin
Warbeck
lay
at
aduantage
,
and
must
be
watched
;
yea
,
ouer-watched
as
indeed
the
principall
fire-brand
,
that
set
all
this
on
a
blase
,
and
in
the
midst
of
these
hurliburlies
came
ouer
Embassadours
from
the
French
King
,
who
must
be
answered
;
he
grew
somewhat
perplexed
againe
,
till
shaking
off
all
the
hindrances
of
his
amasement
,
he
fell
to
practise
and
orderly
performances
.
Whereupon
he
called
his
Councel
together
,
&
they
without
any
great
difficulty
determined
the
busines
in
this
manner
:
To
attend
vpon
the
Scots
,
Thomas
Howard
Earle
of
Surrey
,
a
puissant
and
politike
Captain
,
prisoner
at
the
ouerthrow
of
King
Rich.
the
3.
and
within
two
yeares
set
at
liberty
,
and
after
Iohn
Lord
Dinham
made
high
treasurer
of
England
,
was
appointed
to
muster
the
forces
of
the
Countie
Palatine
of
Durham
,
&
the
borders
round
about
,
&
so
attend
that
seruice
.
To
represse
the
Western
Rebels
,
the
Lord
Dawbney
with
his
whole
power
prepared
for
Scotland
,
was
recalled
to
march
against
them
wheresoeuer
they
encamped
;
to
look
vnto
France
;
Calice
and
Guisnes
with
the
Garisons
were
much
augmented
,
and
prouided
for
.
To
preuent
Flaunders
,
the
Nauy
was
prepared
,
&
the
Staples
for
the
Merchants
setled
:
To
keep
Warbeck
from
comming
into
England
&
ioining
with
the
Rebels
,
the
whole
nobility
combined
themselues
,
especially
the
earle
of
Essex
,
&
Lord
Montioy
;
who
came
of
purpose
to
London
to
offer
their
seruice
to
his
Maiesty
,
&
so
all
places
were
looked
vnt●
with
a
vigilant
eye
,
&
manned
with
strength
of
soldiers
:
and
to
answere
the
Embassadors
of
Charles
the
French
King
,
he
sent
honourable
persons
to
receiue
them
and
conueigh
them
to
Douer
,
and
there
a
while
to
detaine
them
,
till
some
of
these
tumults
and
rebellions
were
extinguished
and
suppressed
,
which
indeed
was
so
wisely
and
politikely
handled
,
that
none
of
the
Embassadors
were
troubled
so
much
as
with
the
rumors
of
these
commotions
.
But
see
the
horror
of
despight
,
and
with
what
a
contracted
brow
misfortune
can
looke
vpon
Kings
themselues
:
so
that
a
man
may
well
say
to
this
Rebellion
,
as
Ouid
did
to
Cupido
in
his
first
booke
of
Elegies
:
Sunt
tibi
magna
puer
,
nimiumque
potentia
regna
:
Cur
opus
affectas
ambitiose
nouum
:
For
,
as
these
Rebels
and
Cornish
men
departed
from
Wels
,
they
entertained
for
their
chiefe
Captaine
Iames
Twichet
Lord
Audley
,
Kent
,
George
Lord
Aburgaue●y
,
Iohn
Brooke
Lord
Cobham
,
Sir
Edward
Poinings
,
Sir
Richard
Guilford
,
Sir
Thomas
Burchier
,
Sir
Iohn
Pechy
,
William
Scot
,
and
many
others
with
a
well
mustred
army
were
not
only
ready
to
defend
their
Countrie
from
al
mischiefe
and
destruction
:
but
determined
to
offend
them
in
their
facinorous
attempts
,
and
preiudiciall
intrusion
,
which
loialtie
somewhat
rebated
the
forwardnesse
of
the
Cornish-men
,
and
they
began
to
suspect
themselues
,
being
so
farre
from
their
Countrie
,
and
remote
from
any
supply
.
Notwithstanding
,
loth
to
dis●earten
their
spirits
with
any
depressing
humor
,
they
cast
away
all
doubts
,
and
presuming
on
their
owne
strength
and
forces
,
as
also
animated
by
their
leaders
and
conductors
,
they
were
now
asmuch
exasperated
against
the
Kentish-men
for
deceiuing
their
assistance
,
Blanditiae
Comites
tibi
erunt
terrórque
furorque
and
they
were
abused
with
a
vale
of
ignorance
and
couering
of
obstinacy
:
For
the
King
disposed
of
his
affaires
with
great
policie
and
circumspection
,
not
determining
to
giue
them
battaile
,
or
exagitate
them
at
all
till
he
had
them
farre
from
their
proper
dwellings
and
flattering
friends
,
till
they
were
in
despaire
of
reliefe
and
wearied
with
long
and
tedious
iournies
,
till
their
treasure
was
spent
,
their
vitaile
consumed
and
prouision
failing
,
till
their
company
dropped
from
them
like
rotten
hangings
on
a
moistned
wall
,
and
their
whole
designes
and
expectation
quite
disanulled
;
and
then
,
when
he
imagined
their
soules
vexed
with
the
terror
of
a
guiltie
conscience
,
their
fury
asswaged
with
compunction
and
penitency
,
their
spirits
daunted
with
repentance
and
remorse
,
and
all
their
army
affrighted
with
madnesse
and
doubtfull
extacies
,
would
he
set
vpon
them
,
and
in
some
conuenient
place
circumuent
and
inuiron
them
to
his
owne
best
aduantage
,
and
their
irrecouerable
damage
and
destruction
.
As
for
the
Citie
of
London
:
—
Quoties
Romam
fortuna
lacessit
,
There
was
chaining
the
streetes
,
shutting
vp
the
shops
,
making
strong
the
gates
,
doubling
the
watches
,
hiding
their
treasure
,
cries
,
feares
,
terrors
,
and
euery
one
more
disturbed
for
the
losse
of
his
priuat
goods
,
then
the
encumbrances
of
the
Common-wealth
.
Here
was
mustering
of
soldiers
,
watching
all
day
in
armor
,
staccadoing
the
riuer
,
filling
the
streets
with
companies
of
horse
and
foot
,
cutting
down
the
Bridge
,
locking
vp
their
dores
,
shutting
the
Gates
,
and
what
else
named
before
,
to
be
put
in
practise
with
aduantage
of
many
peeces
of
ordnance
both
in
Southwarke
and
the
Suburbs
,
and
the
strength
of
the
Tower
which
they
knew
was
reserued
for
the
King
himselfe
.
Notwithstanding
,
such
was
the
instabilitie
of
the
Citizens
being
a
little
disturbed
from
their
quietnesse
and
rest
,
their
dainties
and
ease
,
their
banquetings
and
meetings
,
their
feasts
and
sumptuousnesse
,
their
pastimes
and
pleasures
,
that
they
rather
complained
on
the
King
and
his
Councell
for
the
first
occasion
of
these
tumults
,
then
exprobrated
the
rebell
for
ingratitude
and
disobedience
:
But
the
King
without
further
disputing
against
their
peeuishnesse
,
or
laying
open
the
abuses
of
such
refractary
people
,
deliuered
them
of
this
feare
:
For
he
presently
sent
Iohn
Earle
of
Oxford
,
Henry
Burchier
Earle
of
Essex
,
Edmond
de
la
Poole
Earle
of
Suffolke
,
Sir
Rice
ap
Thomas
,
Humphrey
Stanley
,
and
other
worthy
martiall
men
,
with
a
company
of
Archers
and
horsemen
to
enuiron
the
Hill
where
the
Rebels
were
encamped
round
about
:
Him-selfe
with
the
maine
battaile
and
forces
of
the
Citie
,
much
ordnance
and
great
prouision
tooke
St.
Georges
field
;
where
,
on
a
Friday
at
night
he
quartred
himselfe
,
and
on
the
Saterday
very
early
in
the
morning
he
poasted
Lord
Dawbney
to
Dertford
,
who
by
breake
of
day
gat
the
bridge
of
the
Strand
in
despight
of
resisters
,
which
manfully
defended
it
a
while
,
shooting
arrowes
a
full
yard
long
,
and
demeaning
themselues
like
scholerly
and
eloquent
Orators
,
pleading
for
the
time
in
a
bad
cause
with
good
words
,
and
handling
an
ill
matter
too-too
well
.
From
thence
he
went
couragiously
against
the
whole
company
,
and
what
with
the
former
Earles
assaulting
them
on
the
one
side
▪
and
his
owne
charges
on
the
other
side
,
as
knowing
how
the
Kings
businesse
stood
to
make
an
end
of
the
warre
,
the
battaile
began
apace
,
and
not
a
man
but
prepared
himselfe
to
fight
it
out
,
till
at
last
the
Lord
Dawbney
engaged
himselfe
so
farre
,
that
he
was
taken
prisoner
:
but
whether
for
feare
,
or
through
his
owne
wit
and
pollicie
,
—
Via
nulla
sa●utis
,
Non
fuga
,
non
virtus
,
vix
spes
quoque
mortis
honestae
:
and
I
may
truely
report
of
the
contrary
:
neuer
was
a
battaile
so
well
fought
and
so
quickly
determined
.
For
before
the
King
was
ready
to
goe
to
dinner
,
there
were
slaine
two
thousand
Rebels
,
and
many
more
taken
prisoners
,
the
rest
hardly
escaped
home
;
who
for
all
their
defeature
,
and
vncomfortable
newes
to
the
people
,
were
rather
accelerated
to
reuenge
their
companions
wrongs
,
then
exanimated
from
further
attempts
,
or
seemed
grieued
at
the
King
and
Countries
molestation
,
shewing
sad
lookes
,
but
stomachous
hearts
,
and
so
remained
intoxicated
in
their
braines
,
and
ready
vpon
euery
occasion
to
a
new
rebellion
,
as
you
shall
heare
hereafter
.
When
this
battaile
was
ended
,
and
so
delicately
contriued
(
for
the
King
lost
not
aboue
foure
hundred
men
)
some
imputed
it
to
the
Kings
policy
,
who
appointing
the
same
on
Monday
,
by
way
of
anticipation
fell
vpon
them
on
Saterday
,
and
so
taking
them
somewhat
vnprouided
,
had
the
fortune
to
preuaile
and
thriue
in
his
aduantage
:
Such
as
were
taken
and
apprehended
had
their
pardon
,
except
the
principall
and
fire-brands
of
the
mischiefe
:
For
the
Lord
Audeley
was
drawne
from
Newgate
to
the
Tower-Hill
in
a
Coat
of
his
owne
armes
painted
vpon
paper
reuersed
and
all
to
torne
,
Iune
.
Thomas
Flamoch
and
Michael
Ioseph
were
executed
after
the
order
of
Traitors
,
and
their
quarters
sent
into
Cornwall
for
the
terrifying
of
the
people
,
some
were
dispatched
at
sundry
Townes
as
they
deserued
:
amongst
whom
the
Smith
,
and
diuers
others
of
his
immodest
friends
had
no
excuse
to
make
for
this
rebellion
,
but
whether
they
preuailed
or
no
,
they
were
sure
to
be
registred
to
eternity
for
daring
to
doe
somewhat
in
behalfe
of
their
Countries
liberty
,
and
bidding
battaile
to
Kings
and
Princes
at
their
Pallace
Gates
,
and
before
the
Citie
Wals
,
euen
London
it selfe
,
that
great
Citie
,
the
Chamber
for
their
treasury
,
and
strength
of
their
roialtie
:
which
makes
me
remember
a
saying
of
Lucan
:
—
Sed
me
velsola
tueri
Fama
potest
rerum
,
and
this
was
the
end
of
the
twelfth
yeare
.
In
this
time
you
must
know
,
that
the
King
of
Scots
lay
not
idle
,
but
meerely
vpon
supposition
of
what
would
follow
,
Richard
Fox
Bishop
of
Durham
,
a
man
of
great
learning
,
courage
,
experience
and
fidelitie
,
suspecting
as
much
,
had
well
stored
and
fortified
the
same
,
and
was
in
it
with
such
power
,
munition
and
prouision
as
he
was
able
to
raise
,
sending
the
King
word
of
the
siedge
,
and
inuiting
the
Earle
of
Surrey
to
come
to
his
reskue
with
all
expedition
:
The
Earle
was
mustering
of
men
in
Yorke-shire
,
when
this
newes
extended
it selfe
,
and
like
a
worthy
seruitor
hastned
his
iourney
the
rather
,
and
so
with
twelue
Earles
and
Barons
of
the
North
Countrie
,
—
This
answere
of
the
Kings
did
rather
harme
then
good
to
poore
Perkin
.
For
,
they
perceiued
the
King
was
weary
of
this
warre
,
and
loth
to
take
his
part
any
longer
,
and
so
they
rested
a
while
displeasingly
pleased
.
But
the
truth
was
the
Earle
of
Surrey
was
so
enraged
at
the
bragging
and
ouer-daring
Prince
,
that
he
followed
him
at
the
heeles
,
and
in
reuenge
of
many
mischiefes
perpetrated
by
him
in
such
audacious
manner
,
The
King
of
Scots
was
within
a
mile
of
the
siedge
,
and
yet
durst
not
reskue
the
same
,
only
by
way
of
ostentation
,
he
sent
Marchemount
and
another
Herrald
to
the
Earle
of
Surrey
with
a
kind
of
defiance
,
and
challenge
either
to
encounter
with
him
Army
to
Army
,
or
body
to
body
;
conditionally
,
that
if
the
victory
fall
to
his
maiesty
,
the
Earle
should
deliuer
and
surrender
for
his
ransome
the
Town●
of
Barwicke
with
the
fish-garthes
of
the
same
,
if
the
Earle
againe
were
Victor
,
the
King
would
pay
1000.
pound
sterling
for
his
redemption
.
Causa
iubet
melior
superos
sperare
secundos
:
But
it
should
seeme
,
these
affronts
were
meere
flourishes
:
For
neither
battell
,
nor
combat
,
nor
any
enterprize
worth
the
recording
was
put
in
practise
,
although
the
English
forces
had
layen
long
in
the
Countrey
to
the
same
purpose
:
wherupon
the
Lord
Generall
,
loth
to
spend
his
time
so
inconsiderately
,
and
somewhat
wearied
with
the
distemperature
of
the
Climate
,
and
vnseasonablenesse
of
〈◊〉
weather
,
the
Countrey
affoording
nothing
but
mists
and
foggs
at
this
time
of
the
yeere
,
raised
his
camp
,
and
retired
to
Barwicke
.
But
when
the
truth
was
further
enlarged
,
the
King
commauded
him
so
to
doe
by
his
letters
of
priuate
intelligence
.
For
now
came
a
time
,
in
which
the
windowes
of
heauen
seemed
to
open
,
and
the
God
of
mercy
thought
to
recompence
his
patience
and
goodnesse
,
with
a
quiet
end
of
his
troubles
,
and
happy
successe
in
his
enterprizes
,
which
fell
out
vpon
this
occasion
.
Ferdinando
King
of
Spaine
,
Peter
Hialos
a
man
of
great
learning
,
experience
,
and
prudency
,
as
an
Embassadour
to
Iames
King
of
Scots
by
way
of
mediation
to
contract
a
league
of
peace
and
absolute
amity
betweene
the
King
of
England
and
him
,
Addidit
inualidae
rebus
facundia
causae
,
And
for
an
entrance
into
〈◊〉
same
,
he
assured
the
King
,
that
there
was
g●●at
likelihood
to
lay
downe
the
bloudy
colours
of
defiance
,
and
flourish
the
pleasant
ensignes
of
tranquility
.
For
the
King
of
Scots
had
already
protested
,
hee
was
onely
emulous
of
King
Henries
vertues
,
and
not
maligned
or
despighted
his
person
,
and
for
Perkins
title
he
made
it
a
matter
of
conscience
and
charity
.
For
he
knewe
him
the
right
heire
,
if
he
were
the
right
creature
,
and
the
Cleargy
warranted
the
actions
as
meritorious
.
The
better
sort
disclaimed
all
tyrannous
prosecutions
:
For
except
their
obedience
to
the
King
,
they
spent
and
consumed
their
estates
,
and
onely
returned
with
teares
and
lamentations
for
the
lo●se
of
〈◊〉
friends
.
The
inferiour
sort
imputed
all
to
the
superiour
commands
,
and
as
for
the
formidable
effects
and
bloudy
issue
of
warre
,
it
was
only
the
chance
and
fortune
of
encounters
,
the
action
of
fury
,
and
the
vengeance
or
curse
appropriate
to
dissentions
,
according
to
that
worthy
author
of
excellent
sentences
and
proprositions
.
—
Whereupon
King
Henry
boasting
of
the
character
of
Prince
of
peace
,
so
that
he
might
not
be
branded
with
ignominy
of
basenesse
,
pusillanimity
and
dishonour
,
quickly
consented
to
such
agreement
,
and
for
the
same
purpose
sent
Richard
Fox
Bishop
of
Durrham
,
who
stilllay
in
the
bāttered
Castle
of
Norrham
,
as
his
cheefe
Commissioner
,
Peter
Hialos
,
at
the
towne
of
Iedworth
in
Scotland
,
whither
the
Embassadour
from
King
Iames
likewise
repaired
.
Heere
were
many
matters
disputed
vpon
,
many
conditions
layd
open
,
many
difficult●es
raised
,
many
greeuances
vrged
,
and
many
conclusions
argued
:
but
because
they
failed
in
the
maine
poynt
,
nothing
was
determined
.
For
the
King
of
England
required
Perkin
Warbeck
to
bee
deliuered
into
his
hands
,
as
the
principall
fountaine
of
this
venomous
streame
,
the
cheefe
●ccasion
of
his
vnquietnesse
,
the
perturber
of
his
Realme
,
the
seducer
of
his
subiects
,
and
the
author
of
many
rebeilions
.
But
the
King
of
Scots
(
like
a
Prince
indeed
)
would
not
buy
his
peace
with
the
bloud
of
Innocents
,
especially
a
man
comming
to
him
for
succour
,
shewing
all
the
markes
of
a
distressed
and
abused
Prince
,
allied
vnto
him
by
marriage
,
commended
by
the
Emperor
,
assisted
by
the
Duches
of
Burgundy
,
&
in
himselfe
of
faire
demeanour
,
sweet
behauiour
,
and
of
a
most
royall
and
well
esteemed
spirit
.
Therefore
(
I
say
)
he
would
by
no
meanes
betray
him
into
the
hands
of
his
enemies
,
that
was
so
long
admitted
into
the
bosome
of
his
friends
,
nor
should
it
bee
sayd
,
that
in
any
such
degree
,
for
any
wordly
respect
whatsoeuer
,
King
Iames
of
Scotland
would
bee
base
or
perfidious
,
which
he
had
learned
from
the
example
and
punishment
of
Prusias
King
of
Bithynia
,
whom
the
Romans
deposed
,
for
consenting
to
betray
Hanibal
into
their
hands
,
though
they
had
promised
large
rewards
,
and
threatned
seuere
vengeance
.
The
Commissioners
answered
directly
,
that
they
intended
not
by
way
of
defamation
,
or
contumelious
discouery
of
the
vanity
of
the
man
,
or
impossibility
of
his
businesse
to
make
him
odious
or
corroborate
their
owne
purposes
,
by
the
destruction
of
so
silly
a
creature
,
or
discrediting
so
poore
a
businesse
:
but
meerely
to
shew
the
truth
,
and
vnfold
the
secrets
of
the
deceit
,
that
such
a
Prince
as
King
Iames
,
might
not
be
colluded
with
shadowes
and
apparitions
,
but
orderly
drawen
into
this
holy
and
generall
league
,
wherein
both
Emperour
,
France
and
Spaine
desireth
a
combination
of
amity
with
England
,
onely
there
wanted
himselfe
to
make
the
number
compleat
,
that
the
horne
of
Achelous
might
bee
sent
from
nation
to
nation
,
from
kingdom
to
kingdom
.
For
I
can
assure
you
,
the
Marchants
of
England
haue
been
receiued
into
Antwerp
with
generall
procession
,
the
Emperor
is
pleased
with
this
combination
,
the
King
of
Spaine
pretendeth
a
marriage
,
the
King
of
France
endeauoureth
a
league
,
and
all
the
Princes
of
Europe
seeke
after
a
true
confirmation
of
quietnesse
.
Therefore
once
againe
,
be
not
an
enemy
to
the
good
of
all
Christendome
,
nor
so
aduerse
to
this
holy
combination
,
that
the
world
shall
rather
esteeme
you
wilfull
and
preiudicate
,
then
wise
and
considerate
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
forcible
and
effectuall
intimation
,
the
King
of
Scots
would
not
consent
to
deliuer
Perkin
Habet
confugium
b●llua
quidem
petram
,
Yet
with
much
adoe
hee
was
brought
to
a
truce
for
certaine
yeeres
,
and
condescended
to
this
,
that
Perkin
should
bee
no
longer
succoured
,
harboured
,
or
maintained
by
him
,
or
in
his
territories
and
dominions
:
with
which
answer
,
and
orderly
ratification
of
the
same
,
the
Embassadours
departed
,
the
Armies
retired
,
the
Souldiers
discharged
,
the
King
of
England
satisfied
,
the
Orators
of
France
(
who
from
Do●er
had
audience
at
London
about
the
same
purpose
)
rewarded
,
and
of
all
others
the
worthy
Peter
Hialos
,
as
principall
worke-man
in
this
intricate
businesse
,
liberally
and
bountifully
recompenced
.
Only
poore
Perkin
,
whose
glorious
meteor
began
now
to
bee
exhaled
,
seemed
disconsolate
and
examinated
at
this
newes
and
determination
,
especially
when
King
Iames
began
to
expostulate
and
reason
the
matter
with
him
.
First
,
from
a
repetition
of
the
benefits
and
fauours
receiued
by
his
Princely
liberality
and
gentlenesse
.
Secondly
,
from
his
consanguinity
,
in
marrying
his
kinswoman
vpon
dangerous
hopes
and
triuiall
aduentures
.
Thirdly
,
from
his
many
trialls
of
sundry
conflicts
in
England
,
proouing
all
his
promise●winde
and
smoke
,
and
his
best
enterprizes
triuiall
&
fana●icall
.
Fourthly
,
vpon
the
now
combination
of
amity
with
all
the
Princes
of
Europe
,
which
could
not
be
done
without
the
King
of
Englands
consent
and
agreement
.
Fiftly
,
vpon
the
fatherly
regard
of
his
Countrey
,
which
had
neede
haue
some
breathing
time
of
ease
and
rest
,
and
must
questionlesse
take
a
loue
day
of
consolation
and
desisting
from
turmoiles
.
Last
of
al
,
from
the
care
of
the
Religion
&
Mother-Church
,
vnto
whose
obedience
and
regard
hee
was
now
absolutely
sworne
:
Therfore
he
desired
him
to
take
some
other
course
,
and
depart
out
of
his
Realme
.
For
(
as
hee
heard
)
hee
was
now
interessed
in
the
confederacy
of
the
peace
of
Christendome
,
When
Perkin
had
heard
him
out
,
although
euery
word
was
worse
then
the
croking
of
some
night-rauen
or
scrich-owle
,
and
the
amazement
(
for
the
time
)
might
haue
much
disabled
him
:
yet
loth
to
discredit
his
cause
by
any
demisnesse
or
pusillanimity
,
and
seeing
all
answers
were
superfluous
,
and
the
very
messengers
of
despaire
and
disconsolation
,
he
raised
himselfe
with
some
outward
cheerefulnesse
,
and
as
well
to
auoyd
ingratitude
toward
so
great
a
Benefactour
,
as
to
countenance
himselfe
and
his
businesse
,
he
thus
casting
away
all
feare
and
abashing
timidity
,
replied
.
Most
worthy
Prince
:
Mortale
est
quod
quaeris
opus
:
mihi
fama
perennis
.
And
therefore
God
forbid
,
that
my
commorance
in
your
Court
and
Kingdome
,
or
the
weakned
cause
of
my
attempts
should
prooue
disaduantagious
o●
ominous
vnto
you
,
both
in
regard
of
the
many
fauours
your
Princelinesse
hath
heaped
vpon
me
vndeserued
,
and
mine
owne
willingnesse
not
to
bee
too
too
troublesome
or
offensiue
vnto
so
benigne
a
Maiesty
,
which
rather
then
it
should
bee
hazarded
for
my
sake
without
a
cheerfull
and
liberall
willingnesse
,
the
fame
and
glory
of
the
enterprize
shall
be
sufficient
for
mee
,
and
I
will
not
onely
disclaime
my
right
and
interest
in
the
Kingdome
of
England
,
my
lawfull
inheritance
by
descent
:
but
poure
out
my selfe
,
and
spend
my
life
most
profusely
for
your
sake
.
Onely
this
I
must
entreat
at
your
hands
,
to
giue
me
leaue
to
rigg
and
calcke
vp
my
ships
,
and
gather
together
that
dispersed
company
I
haue
,
or
such
as
would
willingly
and
voluntarily
attend
me
.
Which
seeming
but
reasonable
,
and
no
way
repugning
the
former
agreement
with
the
Embassadours
,
was
quickly
condescended
vnto
:
so
with
many
gifts
,
He
had
not
beene
long
in
Ireland
,
but
his
false
fortune
began
once
againe
to
play
with
him
,
as
flattering
him
with
assured
confidence
and
warrantize
,
that
the
Westerne
men
would
welcome
and
entertaine
him
,
from
whom
he
had
this
notice
:
that
they
could
not
forget
their
former
iniuries
and
slaughters
,
nor
determined
a
setled
and
true
obedience
to
the
Lancastrian
family
:
whereupon
because
something
must
be
done
,
or
else
he
should
be
for
euer
discredited
:
or
that
God
in
his
Iustice
derided
all
su●h
enterprises
to
scorne
:
or
else
in
his
mercy
would
giue
King
Henry
a
breathing
time
to
set
his
other
Princely
qualities
of
wisedome
,
magnificence
,
quietnesse
,
religion
,
charitie
,
gouernment
and
pol●ecy
on
worke
:
he
sailed
out
of
Ireland
with
fiue
small
Ships
,
and
two
hundred
men
,
his
wife
and
attendants
,
his
substance
and
wealth
,
and
in
a
word
all
that
he
had
.
But
when
he
was
to
conferre
about
his
landing
and
setting
forward
his
designes
,
Iohn
Heron
a
mercer
,
and
banquerout
.
Iohn
of
Water
sometimes
Maior
of
Cork
:
Richard
Sketon
a
Tailer
:
and
Iohn
Astley
a
Scriuener
:
men
in
generall
defame
for
dishonest
actions
,
and
in
particular
reproach
,
for
vnderstanding
nothing
but
what
consorted
to
their
own
wilfulnesse
,
and
outragious
appetites
;
of
whom
I
may
say
,
as
Ouid
complaines
in
another
case
in
his
Elegies
:
Non
bene
conducti

,
Non

:
With
this
crue
about
the
month
of
September
he
landed
at
a
place
called
Bodnam
,
and
there
so
sollicited
,
and
excited
the
multitude
and
wau●ing
people
,
that
when
they
heard
him
proclaimed
Richard
the
fourth
,
as
the
indubitat
sonne
of
Edward
the
fourth
,
whom
the
Duke
of
Glocester
,
or
if
you
will
,
Richard
the
Tyrant
determined
to
murther
,
but
that
he
escaped
by
the
prouidence
of
God
,
they
flocked
vnto
him
to
the
number
of
4000.
and
according
to
the
nature
of
children
running
after
newfangled
toies
or
painted
pictures
:
submitted
to
his
princelines
,
and
sware
with
all
allegeance
to
maintaine
his
dignity
&
royaltie
:
with
which
confidence
&
company
after
they
had
taken
the
musters
of
his
Army
,
and
concluded
to
get
some
strong
Townes
into
their
possession
,
that
so
they
might
not
only
augment
their
forces
,
but
still
haue
places
of
supportation
and
refuge
to
retire
vnto
,
they
went
directly
to
Excester
,
—
Serpens
,

,

,

Dulcia

When
Perkin
and
his
associats
saw
so
strong
and
strange
opposition
,
Non
habet
euentus
sordid
a
praeda
bonos
.
he
came
short
of
his
reckning
,
and
the
Items
of
his
accounts
went
much
curtailed
of
their
former
length
and
computation
.
But
in
truth
the
posts
of
the
Country
brought
comfortable
tidings
of
the
Kings
Army
approaching
,
of
which
the
Lord
Daubney
,
Edward
Courtney
Earle
of
Deuonshire
,
Lord
William
his

,
Sir

,
Sir

,
Sir
Iohn
Croker
,
Walter

,
Peter
Egecomb
,
William
Sentnaure
,
and
diuers
others
,
brought
forward
the
forces
of
the
countrey
,
to
raise
the
siege
of
Exester
,
which
not
onely
animated
and
encouraged
the
Citizens
,
but
rebated
the
fury
of
the
contrary
,
and
diuerted
them
from
that
sore
and
outragious
manner
of
assaulting
the
walls
,
where
in
the
last
onset
,
the
noble
Earle
,
with
diuers
others
,
were
hurt
with
arrowes
;
he
wounded
in
the
arme
,
and
the
rest
in
seuerall
parts
of
their
bodies
,
but
very
few
slaine
:
And
so
with
much
adoe
,
this
famous
and
honour-thirsting
City
,
with
the
honest
Inhabitants
of
the
same
,
were
deliuered
and
releeued
.
By
this
time
,
the
royall
standards
of
King
Henry
were
aduanced
in

of
the
City

O

When
the
King
approached
the
towne
of
Tawnton
,
whether
out
of
policie
not
to
hazard
the
whole
army
at
once
,
or
out
of
suspicion
of
some
reuolters
in
his
company
,
or
humbly
considering
there
might
be
a
turning
of
Fortunes
wheele
,
as
still
Rota
fortunae
in
Gyro
in
the
encounters
of
a
battell
,
or
harping
vpon
some
stratagem
and
enterprize
,
as
prouidently
forecasting
both
the
worst
and
best
,
which
might
chance
:
Hee
sent
before
him
Robert
Lord
Brooke
the
Steward
of
his
house
,
Giles
Lord
Daubney
,
and
Sr.
Rice
app
Thomas
to
giue
the
onset
and
beginne
the
battell
,
that
hee
with
the
rest
,
as
a
strong
Ambuscado
and
releefe
,
might
come
to
the
reskue
,
if
they
were
wearied
and
de●atigated
.
But
little
needed
this
policy
,
or
procrastination
:
For
poore
Perkin
(
desperate
of
his
fortunes
,
and
quite
exanimated
to
encounter
with
the
Kingsforces
,
in
so
warlike
a
manner
and
fearefull
a
preparation
,
contrary
to
all
the
motiues
of
a
true
Roman
Honour
,
and
without
knowledge
of
his
army
)
about
midnight
,
Iohn
Heron
,
Thomas
a
Water
,
and
others
,
registred
themselues
as
persons
priuiledged
.
O
what
a
God
art
thou
!
that
canst
one
way
humble
settled
Princes
,
with
the
very
shadowes
of
perill
and
danger
,
making
them
confesse
their
frailty
and
ticklish
estate
of
mortality
,
by
the
seuerall
encumbrances
and
mischeefes
,
to
which
they
are
subiect
:
and
another
way
confound
the
mightiest
proiects
,
and
annihilate
their
enterprizes
,
turning
all
actions
and
mountaines
of
pride
,
sedition
,
conspiracies
and
ambition
,
to
powder
and
dust
,
and
then
blowing
it
away
like
smoake
and
vapour
:
and
another
way
protect
the
right
of
the
innocent
and
distressed
,
sending
remedy
and
comfort
,
when
they
least
thinke
of
it
,
or
know
to
helpe
and
aduance
themselues
:
and
another
way
whip
with
the
rods
of
vengeance
,
the
freneticall
and
vaine
multitude
,
who
know
nothing
,
but
rudenesse
and
clamorous
outcries
,
nor
practize
any
thing
but
vndecencies
and
outragiousness
:
so
that
we
may
well
say
:
O
Iupiter
,
cur
nam
miser●s
sapere
dicunt
Homines
!
ex
te
enim
pendemus
,
When
King
Henry
knew
that
Perkin
was
fled
,
and
departed
from
his
camp
,
Thus
as
a
conquerour
without
manslaughter
and
effusion
of
blood
,
But
all
this
was
nothing
in
comparision
of
that
which
followed
:
For
his
horsemen
prosecuted
the
chase
so
diligently
and
honestly
,
that
they
pursued
the
Lady
Katherine
Gourden
wife
to
this
Perkin
,
Siv●s
nobilitas
,
generosaque
nominatangunt
.
I
know
you
will
vse
me
like
your selues
,
and
vnderstand
I
am
a
Prince
euery
way
,
so
they
gaue
her
leaue
to
adorne
her selfe
,
and
brought
her
like
a
bond●woman
and
captiue
to
the
King
,
who
wondering
at
her
beawtie
and
attractiue
behauiour
,
lifted
vp
his
hands
to
Heauen
in
her
behalfe
to
see
so
great
a
worth
betraied
to
fanaticall
hopes
,
and
freneticall
deceit
,
thanking
God
for
himselfe
,
that
he
had
such
a
Trophe
of
his
endurances
and
victories
in
his
hands
,
nor
was
the
Emperour
Aurelius
more
proud
of
Zenobia
,
then
he
reioiced
in
this
aduenture
:
some
say
he
fantasied
her
Person
himselfe
,
and
kept
her
neere
vnto
him
,
as
his
choisest
delight
;
yea
,
so
doted
on
her
perfections
,
that
he
forgat
all
other
things
,
then
the
contentment
,
which
he
receiued
by
her
,
insomuch
that
many
dared
to
libell
against
him
with
that
saying
of
Deianira
to
Hercules
.
Quem
nunquam
Iuno
,
seriesque
immensa
laborum
fregerit
,
huic
Iolen
imposuisse
iugum
:
Some
report
,
he
durst
not
let
her
marry
for
feare
of
ambitious
tumors
in
such
,
as
could
attaine
to
such
a
fortune
:
Some
confirme
,
that
she
was
of
that
greatnesse
of
spirit
,
that
she
scorned
all
others
in
regard
of
her selfe
,
both
by
the
priuiledge
of
her
birth-right
,
and
the
possibility
of
her
greatnesse
.
Howsoeuer
,
he
intreated
her
most
honorably
and
amiably
(
such
a
power
hath
beauty
and
comlinesse
euer
in
distresse
)
and
sent
her
to
the
Queene
so
maiestically
attended
,
as
if
she
had
beene
a
Queene
indeed
.
In
the
meane
while
my
Lord
Dawbney
imploied
himselfe
and
his
company
so
effectually
,
that
enuironing
the
sanctuary
wherein
Perkin
was
with
two
companies
of
light
horse
,
who
were
vigilant
,
cautelous
,
strong
and
couragious
,
and
so
lay
in
the
aduantage
●f
watching
the
place
,
that
Perkin
could
no
way
escape
:
but
the
King
was
not
satisfied
with
thi●
protraction
,
and
therefore
loth
to
loose
him
,
or
giue
him
liberty
to
runne
with
the
blinde
mole
into
further
cauerns
of
the
earth
to
cast
vp
heaps
and
little
hills
of
commotion
and
affrighting
his
estate
and
yet
daring
not
to
infringe
the
priuiledge
of
these
holy
places
(
such
a
hand
had
superstition
,
and
the
Popes
fulmination
got
ouer
all
the
Princes
of
Europe
)
he
went
more
politikely
to
worke
,
and
sent
diuers
persons
of
account
to
perswade
his
submission
,
and
render
himselfe
wholly
into
the
Kings
hands
,
who
not
only
promised
him
pardon
of
life
,
but
comfort
of
liberty
,
yea
,
honourable
maintenance
vpon
the
easie
conditions
of
desisting
to
perturb
the
Common-wealth
any
further
,
and
disclaiming
so
iniuriously
to
pretend
any
title
to
the
Diadem
.
When
Perkin
saw
to
what
streights
his
Barke
was
driuen
,
and
that
he
must
either
split
on
the
rocks
of
despaire
,
or
retire
back
againe
into
the
troublesome
Ocean
of
despight
,
according
to
the
nature
of
cowardly
and
irresolute
men
,
he
chose
the
worst
part
to
saue
his
life
,
and
submit
to
the
Kings
acceptation
,
not
remembring
,
because
he
was
neuer
acquainted
with
the
secrets
of
maiesty
,
that
he
,
which
hath
beene
once
a
Prince
,
must
neuer
looke
for
a
setled
quietnesse
in
a
priuat
estate
(
because
he
is
still
subiect
to
the
Conquerors
pleasure
)
but
an
ignominious
life
,
then
which
,
an
honourable
death
is
tenne
thousand
times
better
,
which
made
the
noble
Hecuba
,
as
a
worthy
patterne
to
al
vnfortunate
Princes
,
thus
answere
the
proudest
conquerors
themselues
.
Porrigam
collum
cordatè
intrepidè
,
But
as
I
said
he
now
only
recounted
the
difficult
passages
of
his
former
trauailes
,
the
dangers
escaped
,
the
deceit
pretended
,
the
perill
imminent
,
and
the
misfortune
too-too
apparant
,
as
being
in
no
securitie
in
the
place
,
he
was
fled
vnto
,
nor
hauing
any
confidence
in
the
persons
,
he
had
chosen
:
For
though
he
knew
there
was
a
reuerence
appropriate
to
sanctuaries
;
yet
kings
,
if
they
pleased
,
will
be
tied
neither
to
law
nor
Religion
,
but
performe
what
they
list
,
or
vnder
colour
of
their
owne
security
,
say
they
are
compelled
vnto
:
Therefore
without
any
further
aggrauation
,
The
King
not
much
wondred
at
him
:
for
he
only
found
him
superficially
instructed
of
a
naturall
wit
,
of
reasonable
qualities
,
wel
languaged
and
indifferent
apprehension
,
but
farre
from
that
highnesse
of
spirit
,
or
heroick
disposition
to
deserue
the
character
of
a
Prince
,
or
lay
claime
to
a
Diadem
:
yet
loth
with
any
boisterous
strength
to
handle
a
bruized
arme
,
or
draw
the
feltow
into
a
new
selfe-loue
,
or
good
opinion
of
himselfe
,
hee
passed
ouer
his
examination
the
slightlier
,
and
brought
him
immediately
to
London
,
being
met
all
the
way
with
great
co●courses
of
people
,
who
both
came
to
gratifie
him
and
his
auspicious
successe
,
and
to
see
Perkin
like
some
strange
meteor
or
monster
:
or
,
if
you
will
,
because
wee
will
deale
more
cleanlier
with
him
,
like
a
triumphant
spectacle
,
to
mooue
amazement
,
delight
and
contentment
,
according
to
that
saying
of
our
Poet
:
Nocte
pluit
tota
,
redeunt
spectacula
manè
:
But
when
they
began
to
capitulate
,
that
being
a
stranger
and
an
alien
borne
,
hee
durst
not
onely
abuse
so
many
Princes
and
Common-wealths
with
lies
,
fictions
,
and
abominable
deceit
:
but
euen
bid
battell
to
Kings
and
Princes
:
yea
,
bring
Kings
and
Princes
into
the
field
for
his
assistance
,
they
fell
from
wondring
at
him
,
to
raile
and
abuse
him
,
both
with
checkes
and
opprobrious
taunts
:
yea
,
diuers
dared
to
put
in
practise
many
vndecencies
,
both
of
rage
and
indignation
,
had
not
the
reuerence
of
his
Maiesties
presence
diuerted
their
inconsideration
,
and
commanded
no
further
rumour
,
gazing
vpon
him
,
or
violent
threatnings
against
him
.
To
conclude
,
the
King
brought
him
quietly
to
London
,
and
for
all
he
had
giuen
him
life
,
and
affoorded
him
a
kinde
of
liberty
:
yet
did
hee
set
a
guard
ouer
him
,
that
hee
could
neither
haue
free
conference
,
nor
doe
what
he
wantonly
listed
without
them
.
By
this
time
you
must
consider
,
that
Lady
Margaret
in
Flanders
,
Duches
Dowager
of
Burgundy
,
was
not
so
ill
befriended
,
or
negligent
in
her
owne
affaires
,
but
shee
had
both
intelligence
from
England
,
and
espialls
of
her
owne
,
to
acquaint
her
with
all
occurrences
and
aduentures
,
Quae
mea
Coelestes
iniuria
fecit
iniquos
!
Quodue
mihi
miserae
●idus
obesse
querar
!
So
that
if
shee
had
had
power
to
her
implacable
hatred
,
K.
Henry
should
haue
felt
the
scourges
of
her
wrathfull
hand
,
euen
to
the
lowest
deiection
,
and
she
had
questionlesse
shewed
him
a
tricke
of
a
womans
will
,
or
(
if
I
might
speake
without
offence
)
wickednesse
.
In
this
while
Perkin
hauing
two
yeeres
liberty
to
ruminate
on
his
businesse
,
and
swell
vp
his
vexed
soule
with
vncomfortable
commemoration
of
precedent
misfortunes
,
would
many
times
cast
out
abrupt
and
vncertaine
speeches
,
concerning
his
distresse
,
and
the
maleuolent
aspect
of
his
fate
,
cursing
his
miserable
life
,
and
complaining
on
his
vnprofitable
Genius
,
that
had
stood
him
in
no
better
steed
,
wishing
hee
had
beene
borne
to
any
mechanicall
drudgery
,
rather
then
from
the
royall
bloud
of
Plantaginet
:
Insomuch
,
that
his
keepers
mistrusted
him
in
these
extasies
,
and
the
King
was
still
troubled
,
that
hee
could
neither
make
him
confesse
the
truth
,
nor
disclaime
this
high
assumption
of
another
dignity
and
royalty
.
But
at
last
,
as
all
such
discontentments
and
eruptions
must
haue
avent
,
and
so
a
determination
,
whether
the
opprobry
of
this
kinde
of
imprisonment
greeued
him
,
or
the
vnquietnesse
of
his
thoughts
vexed
him
,
or
the
basenesse
of
his
submission
abused
him
,
or
the
losse
of
his
sweet
wife
confounded
him
,
or
the
instigations
of
others
disturbed
him
:
or
indeede
,
because
the
last
act
of
his
Tragedy
and
Catastrophe
was
now
in
hand
,
he
not
onely
studied
which
way
to
escape
;
but
put
the
same
in
practise
in
despight
of
his
owne
knowledge
,
that
the
King
was
acquainted
with
all
his
discontentments
.
For
alas
;
Princes
haue
long
hands
and
prying
lookes
,
to
reach
into
the
furthest
parts
of
their
Kingdome
,
and
search
into
the
secretest
close●s
of
their
palaces
,
yea
,
other
mens
houses
,
Incidit
in
Scyllam
,
cupiens
vitare
Charybdim
:
And
by
seeking
after
liberty
,
hee
brought
himselfe
to
a
more
straighter
and
vnkindlier
endurance
.
For
when
hee
had
gone
to
the
sea-coasts
,
and
heard
the
exclamations
of
the
people
against
him
,
saw
all
places
debarred
,
knew
great
searches
made
for
him
,
vnderstood
what
an
indignation
the
Countrey
had
conceiued
of
his
mockeries
and
illusions
,
and
found
the
whole
Kingdome
vp
in
his
search
,
and
posting
after
him
,
he
was
quite
exanimated
,
and
(
like
a
man
distracted
)
knew
not
what
to
do
.
At
last
,
vnstable
in
his
former
wilfulnesse
,
he
once
againe
altred
his
pretended
iourney
,
and
came
to
the
house
of
Bethelem
,
called
the
Priory
of
Shene
,
The
Prior
(
glad
to
haue
interest
in
such
a
meritorious
worke
,
and
proud
to
bee
seruiceable
to
his
Prince
and
Countrey
)
came
with
conuenient
speed
to
the
Court
,
and
acquainted
his
Maiewy
with
the
accident
,
leauing
no
circumstance
of
any
validity
vnrecounted
,
which
ended
to
the
Kings
wonderfull
content
,
and
the
whole
Courts
disdaine
and
amazement
.
But
all
times
are
not
alike
,
and
Princes
(
in
their
mercies
&
pardons
)
are
not
so
flexible
,
as
presumption
buildeth
vpon
:
Yet
to
please
the
Prior
,
hee
gaue
him
his
life
,
which
to
a
generous
and
free
borne
spirit
was
more
irksome
then
death
.
For
hee
was
first
taken
and
brought
to
Westminster
with
all
scorne
and
repr●ch
,
—
Vitamque

In
some
of
your
Chronicles
you
haue
this
confession
at
large
,
as
in
Grafton
,
which
to
make
the
story
compleat
,
I
haue
a
little
contracted
,
and
thus
expose
the
same
.
BE
it
knowen
vnto
all
men
,
Iohn
O●beck
Controller
of
the
said
towne
,
and
my
mother
Katherine
Haro
,
my
grand-father
Direck
Orsbeck
,
after
whose
decease
my
grand-mother
married
Peter
Flamine
Receiuer
of
Tourney
,
&
Deane
of
the
boat-men
ouer
Lescheld
,
my
mothers
father
was
called
Peter
De
Faro
,
which
kept
the
keyes
of
St.
Thomas
gate
within
the
said
towne
.
I
had
also
an
vnckle
Mr.
Iohn
Statime
of
St.
Pias
Parish
,
with
whom
I
dwelled
very
young
,
hee
married
mine
aunt
Iane
,
and
brought
me
vp
very
well
;
yet
my
mother
not
contented
,
as
being
very
chary
of
mee
,
had
mee
to
Antwerp
to
lea●●e
Flemish
more
exactly
to
a
kinsman
of
my
fathers
Iohn
Steinbeck
,
with
whom
I
remained
a
full
halfe
yeare
,
but
by
reason
of
the
wars
I
returned
to
Tourney
,
where
I
was
placed
with
Mr.
Barlo
,
who
within
another
yeere
carried
me
to
the
mart
at
Antwerp
,
where
I
fell
sicke
awhile
,
and
so
was
boorded
in
a
Skinners
house
much
conuersant
with
the
English
nation
,
whereby
I
learnt
the
language
,
as
you
see
.
From
thence
I
went
to
Barrow
mart
,
&
lodged
at
the
old
man
:
Afterward
,
Mr.
Barlo
,
left
me
at
Middle-borough
with
Iohn
Strew
a
Merchant
,
who
first
made
me
beleeue
,
I
was
better
then
I
was
.
From
Antwerp
I
sailed
into
Portugall
with
my
Lady
Brampton
in
a
ship
called
the
Queenes
ship
,
&
serued
a
Knight
in
Lichborne
called
Don
Peter
Las
de
Cogna
,
who
had
but
one
eye
;
yet
the
manner
of
his
behauiour
and
order
of
his
house
,
made
mee
tarry
a
yeere
.
Then
Pregent
Meno
a
Brittaine
carried
mee
into
Ireland
,
and
either
commanded
so
by
my
Lady
Margaret
,
who
(
as
shee
said
)
was
my
aunt
,
or
proiecting
something
for
his
own
priuate
,
would
needs
perswade
me
I
was
a
Plantaginet
of
the
house
of
Yorke
.
For
when
I
arriued
in
Corck
,
because
I
was
somwhat
handsomly
apparrelled
,
they
would
needs
bestow
vpon
me
the
title
of
the
E.
of
Warwick
sonne
to
George
Duke
of
Clarence
formerly
in
Ireland
,
which
Iohn
Le
Wellin
the
Maior
maintained
,
and
for
as
much
as
my
deniall
was
contrary
to
their
expectation
,
they
brought
me
to
the
crosse
,
and
made
me
sweare
:
which
I
did
,
disclaiming
him
,
or
any
of
his
kinred
,
vntill
Stephen
Poitron
,
with
Iohn
a
Water
came
vnto
me
,
as
resolued
I
was
King
Richards
bastard-sonne
(
then
in
the
hands
of
the
King
of
England
)
perswading
mee
not
to
bee
afraid
or
daunted
at
any
thing
:
For
they
would
ayd
me
&
assist
me
,
euen
to
the
obtaining
the
crowne
of
England
;
yea
,
they
knew
of
their
owne
knowledge
,
the
Earles
of
Desmond
and
Kildare
were
ready
to
aduenture
their
liues
and
estates
for
my
sake
:
After
this
they
carried
mee
into
Flanders
,
to
Lady
Margaret
Regent
and
Duches
of
Burgundy
,
who
preuailed
so
far
with
me
,
that
I
took
vpon
me
the
person
of
Richard
Duke
of
Yorke
,
second
sonne
of
King
Edward
the
fourth
,
and
so
with
reasonable
preparation
,
I
returned
backe
againe
into
Ireland
,
where
the
sayd
Iohn
a
Water
,
Stephen
Poinings
,
Iohn
Tiler
,
Hubert
de
Brough
,
the
foresayd
Earles
,
and
many
others
entred
with
mee
into
a
dangerous
rebellion
,
and
I
was
proclaimed
by
them
Richard
the
fourth
.
From
hence
the
King
of
France
sent
for
me
by
Loyte
Lucas
and
Stophen
Frian
,
but
making
peace
with
England
,
he
left
me
to
my
fortunes
:
Then
I
sayled
into
Flanders
,
where
my
supposed
Aunt
made
more
of
me
then
before
,
so
I
attempted
England
,
but
was
driuen
backe
againe
into
Flanders
,
from
whence
I
went
into
Scotland
,
and
from
thence
againe
into
Ireland
,
and
so
into
England
.
When
the
people
had
heard
him
out
,
they
wondred
both
wayes
at
the
matter
,
and
stood
(
as
it
were
)
confounded
betwixt
shame
and
indignation
.
If
it
were
a
co●lusion
,
to
thinke
how
grossely
the
Kingdome
,
and
some
of
the
best
therein
,
yea
many
Kingdomes
had
beene
abused
with
such
an
imposture
,
to
the
prosecuting
seuerall
●acinorous
actions
,
and
disturbance
of
the
peace
and
tranquility
of
the
Common-wealth
:
If
it
were
not
so
,
and
that
for
feare
of
life
hee
confessed
the
contrary
,
being
the
true
Plantaginet
,
and
a
Prince
borne
to
so
great
a
fortune
:
then
they
wondred
if
any
man
could
bee
so
base
,
as
to
deiect
himselfe
to
such
ignominy
and
opprobrious
disgraces
,
when
to
die
had
been
honorable
,
&
to
sell
ones
life
in
the
field
,
far
better
then
to
plead
on
a
scaffold
,
where
the
many
changes
must
needs
distract
him
,
and
make
a
poore
soule
neither
fit
for
life
nor
death
:
But
whatsoeuer
he
was
,
they
could
not
chuse
but
deplore
his
estate
and
misfortune
,
as
naturally
and
ordinarily
all
men
are
bemoaned
in
aduersity
,
especially
such
an
one
,
that
was
so
forward
in
the
race
and
iourney
to
Maiesty
,
and
pulled
backe
so
often
by
the
sleeue
,
and
turned
with
a
fury
into
the
house
of
desolation
,
and
dungeon
of
disconsolate
wretchednesse
when
to
haue
perished
at
once
,
had
beene
a
fauour
of
death
and
fortune
indeede
,
according
to
our
Poet
:
Mitins
ille
perit
subita
qui
mergitur
vnda
,
When
the
King
had
this
way
satisfied
himselfe
,
and
pleased
the
people
,
Peter
Warbecks
example
,
taught
a
poore
scholler
one
Ralph
Wilford
to
take
vpon
him
the
title
of
the
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
as
yet
in
the
Tower
of
London
:
but
supposed
to
escape
,
as
corrupting
his
keepers
,
intimating
the
glory
of
the
action
,
and
the
brauery
of
such
an
enterprize
,
wherein
who
would
be
so
base
and
cowardly
,
as
not
aduenture
his
life
,
and
put
in
practise
any
designe
to
attaine
to
a
Diadem
,
especially
by
so
easie
meanes
,
as
personating
a
Prince
,
and
assuming
the
title
of
the
next
heire
to
the
crowne
:
And
when
some
of
his
better
vnderstanding
friends
laid
open
the
danger
&
impossibility
of
the
attempt
,
with
the
odiousnes
&
perf●diousnes
of
the
Treason
,
he
answered
the
first
with
one
Poet
:
Fa●naque
post
Cineres
maior
venit
,
But
although
this
mischiefe
was
quietly
blowne
ouer
like
a
weake
and
thin
cloud
suddenly
dispeirced
by
a
forcible
winde
(
For
both
Master
and
Scholer
were
quickly
apprehended
:
the
one
hanged
on
Shrouetuesday
at
Saint
Tho.
Watrings
,
and
the
Fryar
condemned
to
perpetuall
imprisonment
)
yet
it
left
such
an
impression
behinde
,
to
the
troub●●●g
,
as
a
man
may
say
the
whole
Region
of
the
aire
,
that
the
King
would
dally
no
longer
,
but
like
the
Sunne
in
his
full
strength
at
the
next
incensing
of
his
maiesty
,
dissolued
all
such
vapours
,
and
gaue
the
law
leaue
to
play
her
part
to
the
finall
extirpation
of
the
very
roots
of
sedition
,
which
presently
was
thus
set
on
worke
.
Peter
Warbeck
impatient
at
this
restraint
of
his
liberty
,
and
stomaching
his
former
disgraces
&
indignities
,
would
endure
no
longer
,
but
studied
euery
hower
how
to
escape
,
not
yet
knowing
what
to
do
,
when
he
did
escape
,
to
which
purpose
by
faire
promises
and
false
perswasions
,
he
corrupted
his
keepers
:
Strangwaies
,
Blewet
,
Astwood
,
and
long
Roger
seruants
of
Sir
Iohn
Digby
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
to
slay
their
said
Master
:
and
set
both
Perkin
and
the
true
Earle
of
Warwicke
at
large
,
and
so
to
make
their
fortunes
,
as
they
could
either
by
domestike
or
forraine
friends
:
to
which
,
when
the
innocent
Prince
condiscended
,
as
glad
any
way
to
enioy
his
libertie
,
and
to
be
freed
of
his
imprisonment
(
for
you
see
birds
kept
in
golden
cages
beat
and
flutter
vp
and
downe
as
scorning
their
enclosure
,
Perkin
Warbeck
,
Iohn
a
Water
sometimes
Maior
of
Corck
,
and
his
sonne
were
the
16.
of
Nouember
arraigned
and
condemned
at
Westminster
of
high
Treason
,
and
the
23.
hanged
at
Tyburn
:
Perkin
mounted
on
a
scaffold
reading
his
confession
,
and
contrary
to
all
expectation
,
a●king
the
King
and
Country
forgiuenesse
,
and
dying
penitently
with
great
remorce
of
conscience
,
and
compunction
of
spirit
:
Et
sic
●inis
Priami
—
Not
long
after
Edward
Earle
of
Warwick
,
who
had
beene
the
21.
of
Nouember
arraigned
at
Westminster
before
the
Earle
of
Oxford
high
Constable
of
England
for
the
present
,
Omne
tulit
secum
Caesaris
ira
malum
:
But
the
King
was
indeed
glad
of
this
occasion
,
and
fortune
gaue
vertue
the
check
,
because
as
he
had
imprisoned
him
without
a
cause
,
he
knew
not
what
to
doe
with
him
without
a
fault
:
yet
some
report
that
the
principall
reason
of
accelerating
his
death
was
a
speech
of
Ferdinando's
king
of
Spaine
,
who
should
sweare
,
that
the
mariage
betweene
Lady
Katherine
his
daughter
,
and
Prince
Arthur
of
Wales
should
neuer
be
consummated
,
as
long
,
as
any
Earle
of
Warwick
liued
.
For
the
very
name
and
title
was
not
only
formidable
to
other
Nations
,
but
superstitions
to
the
wau●ring
,
and
vnconstant
English
:
whereupon
the
King
was
the
gladder
to
take
hold
of
this
opportunitie
,
where
in
the
conuiction
of
Law
had
cast
this
stumbling-block
of
treason
in
his
walke
and
race
to
a
longer
life
,
and
yet
was
there
nothing
done
,
but
by
orderly
proceedings
,
and
iustifiable
courses
:
more
then
when
the
silly
Prince
submitted
to
his
mercy
,
he
thought
it
the
greatest
point
of
mercy
to
looke
to
himselfe
,
and
so
for
the
benefit
of
his
posteritie
,
and
the
sedation
of
all
troubles
both
present
and
to
come
,
struck
off
his
head
,
and
with
him
the
head
of
all
diuision
and
dissention
.
