❧ The purgacion of the ryght honourable lord Wentworth , concerning the crime layde to his charge , made the. x. of Ianuarie . Anno. M. D. L. viii . ALas where is the man , that liueth and doth not rue : To see how falsely I am charged , with thinges that be vntrue . My seruice true is knowen , howe ready I haue bene : Both with my body and my goodes , to serue the Kyng and Quene : And yet some haue deuisde , to charge me with vntruth : which euermore hath bene my shielde , euen from my very youth . Alas to what intent , all eyes maye easely see : That theyr deuise and practise is , to make an ende of mee . Alas they seeke my lyfe , and not for my desertes : But by consent of wycked men , which haue vngodly hartes . Suche haue conspired my death , as nowe euen so beforne : That I may say wo woorth the tyme , that euer they were borne . Alas there is no man , more innocent then I. And yet the wicked seeke my lyfe , and know no iust cause why . For there is not a man , that lyueth and hath breath : Can iustly say for my vntrothe , that I am worthy death . Though they say what they please , as they can wel deuise : Yet all theyr trauell in this thyng , is knowen to be but lyes . Alas what hartes haue they , that cannot lyue content : Tyll they haue spoyled the lyfe of hym , that is an innocent . As touching the sayde cryme . or any parte therein : I doo protest for verye thought , that I am voyde of synne . But thys wyll not suffise , to mitigate theyr yre : Nor nothing els that can be sayde , wyll pease theyr long desyre . Yet shall my truthe appeare , whych they would fayne conceale : And my obedience to the crowne , and to the common weale . Though truth be now subiect , vnto a frowarde wyll : Yet shall it euermore appeare , I neuer ment no yll . Eyther vnto my Prince , to whom I am most bounde : Nor yet vnto the common weale , but it must needes be founde . Wherefore I saye alas , bewaylyng my estate : A noble pere , a subiect true , rewarded thus with hate . And thus I make an ende , wyth woordes that be vnfaynde : Though I am nowe a prysoner , my truth cannot be staynde . God keepe our noble Queene , God prosper her intent : God shorten all her enmies dayes , or graunt them to repent . Thys is the wyshed daye , to see her in this place : God graunt vs true obedience . vnto her noble grace . Finis quod Iohn Markant .
