you

vpon
such

it

,
of
the
late
execution
of
.
D.
Storie
,
who
suffred
at
Tiburne
the
first
of
Iune
last
.
It
is
notorious
howe
euyll
and
vnloyally
he
behaued
hym selfe
here
in
Englande
before
he
departed
the
Realme
,
and
howe
earnest
a
persecutor
afterward
he
was
of
all
the
good
subiectes
of
Englande
,
hauyng
cause
to
be
in
the
lowe
countreys
,
both
before
the
arrest
made
of
late
by
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
as
sence
that
tyme
a
multitude
of
honest
marchauntes
knowe
it
,
both
Englyshe
&
others
,
and
a
great
number
haue
felt
it
by
imprisonment
procured
by
hym
,
and
by
seasyng
and
confiscatyng
of
their
goodes
,
so
as
there
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
,
but
that
he
was
to
his
power
as
earnest
an
enemie
to
the
state
of
Englande
his
naturall
countrey
,
and
the
Queenes
Maiesties
good
subiectes
,
as
any
man
borne
in
this
Realme
coulde
be
.
Neuerthelesse
,
because
at
the
place
of
his
execution
before
his
death
,
he
vsed
long
&
many
speeches
to
moue
some
of
simple
vnderstandyng
,
or
that
dyd
not
knowe
his
rancor
and
malice
agaynst
the
Queenes
Maiestie
,
and
the
state
of
this
Realme
,
and
for
that
it
was
not
then
conuenient
,
nor
at
least
coulde
be
imagined
aforehande
that
he
woulde
haue
vsed
suche
speeches
at
that
tyme
,
and
so
he
was
suffred
to
speake
altogether
without
contradiction
,
whereby
the
trueth
percase
may
be
made
to
you
obscure
,
you
shall
vnderstande
of
what
detestable
crymes
he
was
gyltie
,
and
therewith
shoulde
haue
ben
particulerly
charged
at
the
tyme
of
his
arraignement
in
the
Kynges
Benche
,
but
that
he
craftyly
and
traytorously
,
knowyng
by
his
examination
wherwith
he
was
to
be
charged
,
and
howe
much
he
hym selfe
had
confessed
in
the
Towre
:
and
beyng
wrytten
in
certayne
leaues
of
paper
had
subscribed
with
his
owne
hande
wrytyng
,
refused
to
haue
any
tryall
made
thereof
,
alleaging
that
he
ought
not
to
answere
,
nor
would
answere
,
because
he
was
subiect
to
the
Kyng
of
Spayne
,
and
not
subiect
to
the
Queenes
Maiestie
&
the
crowne
of
Englande
:
and
so
although
he
was
charitably
,
earnestly
,
and
reasonably
required
at
his
arraignment
to
answere
to
the
matters
wherwith
he
was
charged
by
inditement
,
as
a
borne
subiect
of
this
Realme
,
yet
he
woulde
not
,
but
traytorouslye
refused
to
answere
thereto
,
in
such
sort
,
as
if
he
had
ben
indyted
of
felonie
,
as
he
was
of
hygh
treason
,
he
should
for
his
not
answeryng
haue
suffred
the
payne
of
pressyng
to
death
,
which
maner
of
iudgement
is
not
vsed
in
cases
of
treason
by
the
lawes
of
the
Realme
,
but
was
adiudged
gyltie
of
the
treasons
conteyned
in
the
inditement
,
as
of
necessitie
and
iustice
he
ought
to
be
,
for
other
iudgement
coulde
not
be
geuen
:
and
so
by
iustice
of
lawe
he
was
iudged
to
the
death
which
he
suffred
.
But
for
that
it
may
serue
to
the
satisfaction
of
all
men
,
to
consyder
howe
farre
he
was
gyltie
of
the
treasons
conteyned
in
his
indytement
,
hereafter
foloweth
a
true
,
iuste
,
and
playne
report
of
the
matters
,
both
wherof
he
was
accused
and
examined
,
and
which
also
he
did
confesse
in
the
Towre
.
He
was
to
be
charged
that
he
dyd
traytorously
conspire
agaynst
the
Queenes
Maiestie
,
with
one
Prestall
an
Englyshe
man
,
who
was
a
fugityue
,
and
principall
deuisor
of
the
first
Treason
intended
by
the
young
Pooles
.
xi
.
yeres
past
,
and
therof
was
indited
and
outlawed
:
and
afterwarde
of
late
tyme
he
practised
an
other
great
treason
with
certayne
persons
,
wherof
one
disclosed
the
same
to
the
Duke
of
Norfolke
,
who
also
verye
duetifullye
reuealed
the
same
to
the
Queenes
Maiestie
,
wherevpon
the
sayde
Prestal
beyng
sought
for
to
be
apprehended
,
fledde
into
Scotiande
,
where
also
he
ioyned
hym selfe
with
the
Englyshe
rebelles
,
and
there
attempted
sundry
treasons
against
her
Maiestie
,
and
from
thence
he
fledde
into
Flaunders
.
With
this
maner
of
Traytor
had
this
.
D.
Storie
a
continuall
intelligence
to
further
his
treasons
,
insomuche
as
he
sayde
,
not
long
before
he
came
into
Englande
,
to
one
that
for
dueties
sake
disclosed
it
,
&
is
redy
to
proue
it
,
that
Prestall
shoulde
or
it
were
long
,
be
the
leader
of
.xl.
thousand
men
into
Englande
,
agaynst
that
woman
whiche
toke
vpon
her
to
be
Queene
,
and
●
the
same
Story
,
I
woulde
to
God
she
were
in
the
bottome
of
the
sea
,
with
other
vile
and
reprochfull
wordes
not
meete
to
be
reported
.
With
which
traytorous
speeches
he
should
haue
ben
charged
,
yf
he
woulde
haue
abydden
tryall
accordyng
to
the
lawes
of
the
Realme
.
The
sayde
Storie
sayde
also
in
the
presence
of
two
persons
of
English
byrth
,
who
were
redy
to
haue
charged
hym
therewith
,
yf
he
woulde
haue
stande
to
tryall
,
that
he
had
written
letters
to
Bruxels
,
that
yf
the
matters
conteyned
therein
shoulde
be
reuealed
where
he
shoulde
be
charged
therewith
,
he
shoulde
be
hanged
,
drawen
,
&
quartered
.
And
immediatly
after
this
speeche
he
went
to
Bruxels
with
Prestall
,
where
he
and
Prestall
were
rewarded
with
money
:
and
there
Prestall
declared
to
certayne
persons
,
redy
also
to
haue
auowed
the
same
,
that
he
had
opened
his
whole
purposes
to

D.
Story
,
whereto
.
D.
Story
was
sworne
to
kepe
the

But
of
the
thynges
intended
by
Prestal
and
Story
at
that
tyme
,
neyther
of
them
woulde
be
then
knowen
,
but
yet
Prestall
affirmed
that
he
had
an
art
to
poyson
any
body
a
farre
of
,
beyng
not
present
with
them
,
and
that
none
coulde
do
it
but
he
.
And
to
shew
some
taste
of
their
mischiefes
,
a
gentleman
belongyng
to
Courteuile
,
a
secretarie
to
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
tolde
an
Englyshe
man
,
redye
also
to
auowe
the

,
that
.
D.
Story
and
Prestall
were
about
such
matters
,
and
such
vyle
treason
,
as
the
saide
partie
sayde
that
no
man
coulde
deuise
worse
,
and
that
.
D.
Story
was
suche
a
wicked
man
as
could
not
be
found
the
like
,
and
that
he
thought
veryly
they
were
about
murdring
of
some
great
persons
in
England
.
The
sayde

also
receaued
certayne

beyng

dyd

he
procured

D.
Saunders
,
with
certayne
Englyshe
fugityues
harboured
in

,
went
to
Antwerpe
to

Rebelles
,
and
there
Saunders
made
to
them
a
solemne
long
oration
in
prayse
of
their
actes
.
Story
also
declared
in
Antwerpe
in
presence
of
such
as
should
haue
auowed
it
at
his
arraignement
yf
he
woulde
haue
denyed
it
,
that
the
Rebellion
shoulde
be
renewed
in
Englande
,
and
that
at
the
same
instant
also
Irelande
shoulde
rebell
,
whereof
he
sayde
he
was
well
assured
by
aduertisement
from
an
Iryshe
bishop
that
hadde
scaped
out
of
the
Towre
of
London
,
and
that
at
the

instant
also
the
Scottes
shoulde
with
an
ayde
out
of
Fraunce
inuade
Englande
,
and
set
vp
the
Scottyshe
Queene
.
The
sayde
Story
also
vsed
commonly
this
maner
of
prayer
after
his
meates
,
whereof
there
are
diuers
persons
redy
to
witnes
the
same
that
haue
hearde
hym
,
and
lastly
euen
in
the
Roy
wherein
he
was
before
he
came
last
into
Englande
,
in
the
presence
of
diuers
persons
,
that
yf
the
Queenes
Maiestie
,
whom
he
woulde
neuer
tearme
but
by
the
name
of
dame
Elzabeth
that
tooke
vppon
her
to
be
Queene
,
woulde
not
speedylye
turne
to
Queene
Maries
religion
,
he
prayed
that
she
myght
be
ouercome
with
sworde
and
fyre
,
and
all
that
woulde
take
her
part
.
And
though
he
myght
haue
ben
charged
with
sundry
other
traytorous
and
haynous
conspiracies
in
the
lowe
countreys
,
&
with
aydyng
of
the
Rebelles
there
,
whereof
out
of
the
saide
lowe
countreys
aduertisement
was
geuen
by
sundry
of
good
credite
:
yet
of
set
purpose
no
more
is
aboue
recited
,
but
suche
thynges
only
as
wherwith
he
shoulde
haue
ben
charged
openly
by
witnesses
at

arraignement
,
who
yf
he
woulde

And
howe
many
of
the
thynges
before
recited
are
to
be
iudged
true
&
probable
,
it
is
to

by

,
of

sydes
of
a

and
so

Item
,
he
sayth
that
Hamelton
tolde
hym
that
Prestall
had
written
,
that
the
matter
which
Prestall
had
tolde
Story
and
the
sayd
Hamelton
that
an
Englyshe
man
nowe
in
Irelande
could
do
,
would
not
be
done
without
a
great
summe
of
money
,
whiche
matter
was
to
make
the
Kyng
of
Scottes
away
:
for
Prestall
had
told
this
examinat
and
Hamelton
,
that
the
Scottes
woulde
hardlye
be
reduced
to
obedience
as
long
as
the
Queene
of
Scottes
was
without
an
husbande
,
and
no
man
of
estimation
woulde
haue
her
so
long
as
the
Boy
lyued
,
and
yf
he
were
dead
,
he
hoped
the
Emperours
brother
woulde
haue
her
,
and
wyshed
he
myght
be
an
entreater
in
that
matter
.
And
further
Prestall
said
,
that
the
said
man
nowe
in
Irelande
had
tolde
the
Pooles
and
hym
the
very
month
,
the
daye
,
and
houre
,
that
the
Queene
of
Englande
shoulde
be
in
hazarde
of
her
lyfe
,
and
that
the
same
Englishe
man
could
dispatch
the
King
of
Scottes
for
money
:
And
beyng
asked
what
the
same
Englyshe
mans
name
was
,
Story
sayth
of
trouth
he
knoweth
not
,
but
hath
forgotten
it
,
yet
Prestal
told
it
him
:
but
whither
he
is
in
Irelande
,
or
of
what
estate
,
degree
,
or
condition
he
is
of
,
he
knoweth
not
.
And
further
that
Prestall
tolde
him
he
coulde
do
much
with
that
Englyshe
man
in
Irelande
,
wherein
this
examinat
discouraged
hym
.
And
the
sayde
Story
sayth
he
thynketh
of
his
conscience
that
Prestall
would
do
all
the
harme
that
he
coulde
to
this
Realme
of
Englande
.
And
further
sayth
,
that
Prestall
tolde
hym
he
woulde
take
any
thyng
in
hand
to
inuade
Englande
,
so
he
might
haue
good
assistance
,
and
not
be
vsed
as
an
vnderlyng
.
But
Prestall
neuer
tolde
hym
by
what
deuice
Englande
shoulde
be
inuaded
.
And
more
he
sayth
,
that
Ienny
and
Markenfelde
hath
made
suite
to
Courteuile
and
to
Northcarne
,
as
Northcarnes
secretarie
tolde
hym
,
for
the
reliefe
of
the
Nortons
and
Neuyls
:
and
after
this
Courteuile
called
this
examinat
,
wyllyng
hym
to
byd
Markenfeld
to
come
to
hym
that
day
at
two
of
the
clocke
,
and
then
this
examinat
prayed
that
yf
he
shoulde
come
about
the
money
for
the
reliefe
of
the
Nortons
,
and
others
,
that
then
one
Parkar
myght
be
payed
for
theyr
charges
,
and
so
it
myght
be
delyuered
to
Parkar
.
He
sayth
he
wrote
a
letter
to
the
elder
Norton
from
Bruxels
,
and
shewed
the
sayde
elder
Norton
,
that
he
woulde
be
glad
to
do
for
hym
euen
the
best
that
lay
in
the
sayde
Stories
power
to
do
,
and
that
he
woulde
rather
stay
his
owne
suites
to
the
Duke
,
then
not
to
do
the
best
he
could
for
hym
,
and
this
was
all
the
effecte
of
his
letter
to
the
sayde
eldest
Norton
:
but
afterwarde
he
called
to
remembrance
he
wrote
vnto
him
,
that
he
was
glad
that
he
and
his
company
were
so
well
come
into
the
catholyke
Realme
,
&
safely
arryued
there
.
He
sayth
he
doth
not
remember
that
he
wrote
to
the
sayde
Nortons
and
the
reste
,
that
where
they
were
before
but
worshipful
,
they
were
nowe
worthy
double
honor
:
but
he
sayth
it
may
be
he
dyd
write
so
,
because
he
thought
so
:
and
thynkes
he
dyd
wryte
vnto
them
that
he
woulde
come
shortly
to
Antwerpe
,
&
geue
them
their
welcome
,
because
he
meant
so
to
do
.
After
Markenfelde
and
Ienny
came
ouer
,
&
one
Leedes
with
hym
,
and
first
they
came
to
Parkers
house
,
where
the
sayde
Ienny
declared
openly
at
the
boorde
,
in
the
presence
of
this
examinat
and
others
,
the
order
of
the
sayde
late
Rebellion
.
And
hereupon
this
examinat
made
reporte
to
Northcarnes
secretarie
,
that
the
sayde
Ienny
was
a
frende
to
the
Catholykes
and
the
Earles
,
and
is
a
very
trusty
frende
,
and
hath
ventured
his
lyfe
for
the
Catholykes
.
But
afterwarde
this
examinat
perceauyng
the
contrary
of
Ienny
by
a
Scotte
,
he
gaue
Northcarnes
secretarie
warnyng
to
take
heede
of
Ienny
.
Shortly
after
this
,
the
sayde
Story
came
to
Antwerpe
to
Parkars
house
,
where
syttyng
at
dynner
,
the
sayde
elder
Norton
and
some
other
of
his
company
came
in
from
the
Churche
,
and
one
saide
,
this
is
Norton
,
and
thereupon
this
examinat
rose
and
gaue
hym
place
,
and
bad
him
welcome
:
and
so
the
elder
Norton
sate
downe
in
the
said
Stories
place
.
After
olde
Norton
shyfted
his
lodging
,
and
this
examinat
,
with
one
Shawe
Nortons
sonne
in
lawe
,
went
to
the
sayde
olde
Nortons
lodging
to
dyner
,
and
there
dined
with
hym
,
and
that
day
all
their
talke
was
of
the
suspition
that
Norton
had
of
Iennys
firste
commyng
to
the
Rebelles
in
Englande
from
the
Earle
of
Sussex
,
and
so
he
tooke
hym
styl
but
a
spye
,
and
to
couer
hym selfe
with
to
the
Duke
,
with
labouryng
for
them
.
He
sayth
that
he
hearde
by
Markenfeldes
report
,
that
the
sayde
Nortons
and
Neuyls
&
their
company
,
had
two
hundred
crownes
geuen
them
from
the
Duke
at
their
firste
commyng
,
and
shoulde
haue
two
hundred
crownes
more
afterwarde
.
More
he
sayth
,
that
before
the
Dukes
last
commyng
to
Antwerpe
,
the
saide
Story
and
Sir
Iames
Shelley
beyng
at
Louain
,
were
there
sent
for
to
come
to
.
D.
Saunders
to
heare
a
certayne
booke
read
,
of
the
reasons
that
the
Bull
late
sent
ouer
into
Englande
should
be
obeyed
as
he
suspected
,
and
thither
the
sayde
Story
promised
to
come
:
but
that
after
noone
he
was
dryuen
to
go
to
Bruxels
,
and
so
sir
Iames
Shelley
went
thyther
,
and
brought
worde
to
this
examinat
being
with
one
Leedes
at
dyner
,
that
yf
he
had
come
,
he
shoulde
haue
hearde
goodly
reasons
that
he
would
haue
wel
lyked
,
about
the
booke
that
Saunders
had
made
.
Further
the
sayde
Story
doth
say
,
that
he
was
neuer
sworne
to
King
Philip
,
nor
to
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
nor
neuer
by
any

was

The
sayde
Iohn
Story
this
.xx.
day
of
December
beyng
examined
,
sayth
that
about
two
yeres
sence
,
he
dyd
deale
by
wrytyng
with
Courteusle
,
shewyng
vnto
hym
that
the
Catholykes
in
Englande
dyd
dayly
decay
,
and
the
Scismatykes
dyd
there
daylye
encrease
,
and
therfore
yf
the
King
of
Spayne
had
any
meanyng
to
wryte
to
the
Queene
of
Englande
,
or
otherwise
to
helpe
to
restore
religion
in
Englande
,
he
shoulde
do
it
betyme
,
or
els
it
woulde
be
to
late
:
and
eyther
he
dyd
wryte
further
,
or
sayde
by
mouth
to
the
sayde
Courteuile
,
that
yf
the
Kyng
of
Spayne
dyd
but
come
into
the
low
countrey
out
of
Spayne
with
a
number
of
shyppes
,
the
Catholykes
of
Englande
would
thynke
as
this
examinat
thought
,
that
he
were
come
to
restore
religion
,
and
would
take
the
Kyng
of
Spaynes
part
.
And
the
said
Story
confesseth
that
he
wrote
to
Courteuile
,
that
if
about
the
realme
of
England
there
might
go
a
number
of
shyppes
,
as
men
went
about
Ierico
,
then
the
Catholykes
of
Englande
woulde
take
courage
to
prepare
entry
for
them
that
went
so
about
with
the
said
shyppes
.
To
which
ende
of
entry
,
by
the
Kyng
of
Spaynes
power
into
Englande
,
the
saide
Story
dyd
write
to
Courteuile
many
tymes
by
his
letters
and
perswasions
therein
,
hopyng
therby
that
either
the
King
of
Spayne
woulde
write
to
the
Queene
of
Englande
to
restore
the
Catholyke
religion
,
or
els
would
make
some
entry
into
England
,
&
refourme
religion
,
according
as
he
was
bounde
by
his
title
of
Catholyke
Kyng
,
as
the
sayde
Story
thought
.
Further
the
sayde
Story
sayth
,
that
Iohn
Prestall
at
such
tyme
as
he
talked
with
Hamelton
and
this
examinat
about
the
death
of
the
Kyng
of
Scottes
as
is
aforesayde
,
when
Prestall
had
tolde
hym
as
aforesayde
,
that
the
Englyshe
man
that
fledde
into
Irelande
had
tolde
the
sayde
Prestall
,
of
the
tyme
and
houre
the
Queenes
Maiestie
should
be
in
peryll
of
her
death
as
is
aforesayde
,
then
Prestall
sayde
,
that
yf
the
sayde
Englyshe
man
in
Irelande
myght
be
plyed
,
he
could
bryng
the
Queenes
hyghnes
to
death
in
deede
,
and
sayde
he
thought
surely
he
coulde
do
it
,
and
then
this
examinat
sayd
that
was
to
be
done
by
Necromancie
.
Subscribed
Iohn
Story
.
It
is
here
to
be
consydered
also
howe
lykely
it
is
that
the
thynges
whiche
he
spake
at
Tiborne
for
his
purgation
were
true
,
when
at
the
same
tyme
he
woulde
haue
had
by
his
earnest
speeches
then
vsed
,
all
the
hearers
beleue
that
he
vsed
neuer
any
crueltie
in
Queene
Maries
time
against
any
that
were
then
burnt
for
religion
:
but
as
he
sayde
,
he
dyd
but
only
chyde
them
,
and
that
he
was
no
cause
of
the
death
of
any
,
but
that
the
Bishoppes
dyd
procure
the
sentences
of
death
.
And
howe
vntrue
this
speeche
of
his
was
in
that
behalfe
as
to
excuse
hym selfe
,
a
number
of
witnesses
lyuyng
that
manifestly
saw
his
extreme
cruelties
,
and
some
that
felt
thereof
are
very
plenteous
.
And
what
his
hart
was
towards
the
Queenes
Maiestie
,
may
playnly
appeare
by
his
traytorous
wordes
in
the
parliament
house
,
where
he
sayde
,
that
yf
his
counsel
had
ben
folowed
,
the
root
should
haue
ben
stryken
downe
,
and
not
the
braunches
.
And
howe
horrible
,
traytorous
,
and
monstruous
a
meanyng
he
had
to
refuse
to
answere
at
his
arraignement
,
by
refusyng
his
naturall
allegeaunce
to
the
Queenes
Maiestie
and
this
crowne
,
from
which
no
lawe
in
the
worlde
coulde
separate
hym
,
&
by
auowyng
that
he
was
a
subiecte
to
the
Kyng
of
Spayne
,
it
may
appeare
in
that
he
sayde
at
his
arraignement
for
defence
of
his
traytorous
refusall
of
his
obedience
:
That
Kinges
were
chosen
at
the
first
by
the
people
for
their
necessitie
,
&
not
the
people
for
their
kynges
:
and
therfore
the
people
myght
leaue
their
kynges
when
they
hadde
no
more
neede
of
them
.
And
so
the
conclusion
in
his
opinion
serued
for
hym
that
he
myght
refuse
his
naturall
liege
lady
and
Queene
.
And
so
consequently
by
that
monstruous
reason
,
all
kynges
may
be
depriued
of
their
subiectes
,
or
of
as
many
as
woulde
enter
into
that
traytorous
&
monstruous
error
,
at
their
pleasure
.
A
thyng
of
it selfe
worthy
of
some
monstruous
death
,
accordyng
to
the
monstruousnes
of
the
treason
.
Otherwyse
to
remember
the
vnworthynes
of
this
.
D.
for
his
long
lewde
lyfe
in
all
tymes
past
,
is
not
conuenient
,
because
he
is
dead
,
of
whom
also
nothyng
should
be
now
in
this
sort
written
,
but
that
by
his
craftye
traytorous
doynges
at
his
arraignement
,
and
by
his
vntruethes
vttered
at
his
death
,
trueth
it selfe
shoulde
take
harme
,
by
mistakyng
&
misreportyng
:
and
only
in
fauour
of
trueth
haue
I
collected
the
premisses
,
&
for
no
other
purpose
,
&
so
I
pray
you
vse
it
accordyng
as
you
shal
thynke
meete
.
For
al
those
thynges
which
are
before
recited
,
are
manyfestly
to
be
proued
,
partly
by
the
very
wrytynges
extant
,
and
in
no
worde
altered
,
and
the
rest
by
sufficient
witnesses
,
whereof
I
haue
hadde
good
regarde
euen
for
truethes
sake
,
knowyng
that
almyghtie
God
is
the
auenger
of
all
vntrueth
