a man of his owne profession dwelling about Cardiffe and hauing much dealing about Lōdon stomacked as diuers men of one trade doo the great dealings of Randolph Randolph séemed to be a man of gentle nature and verye open to his fréend taking Dernley for no 〈◊〉 of his for Dernley was priuie that Randolph had receiued aboue thrée hundred pound and was to ride from London through Ailsbury toward Wales Whereupon he acquainted one Parry dwelling in Shorditch and Richardson another of his confedrats dwelling in Knight-rider stréete in London wyth Randolphs condition charge of money and the way hee had to ride They fell in company with Randolph a little from London and verie curteousty bare him company to Ailsbury and by the way one Tailer of Ailsbury chanced among them and noting by Randolphs talke that hee concealed not his charge of mony besides obseruing how Parrey and Richardson were horst and weaponed tolde Randolphe secretly at his comming to Ailsbury that hee did not wisely to ride so open and willed him to looke well to Parrey and Richardson for hee mistrusted them The good old man beléeuing the faire spéeches of the ill intending murderers better than the honest aduise of the plaine meaning man replied they were very fréendly Gentlemen dwelling in London such as had vsed him very kindly and that for a world of wealth he would not haue an euill thought of them so honest they séemed so gentle so faire conditioned whereupon Tailer séeing Randolphs minde des●●●ed to vse more words But this talke of his either by Randolphs meanes or some other course came to Parrey and Richardsons hearing whereupon making shew or displeasure in the morning they went before him out of towne pretending hast also of their way Randolph hearing they were gone greatly blamed the Chamberlaine and with all spéed hasted to poast after them comming about some mile from Ailsburie met one who tolde him two such Gentlemen were easely riding not a full mile 〈◊〉 When 〈◊〉 is marhed to mischance with what violence doth his euill 〈◊〉 draw him onward As fast as horse could runne he galleys after and to some get sight of them that were readye to him his fight with eternal darknesse when hee was 〈◊〉 them they were 〈…〉 hollow hearted companions vnder coleur of kinde salutation turning their horses heades to bid him welcome Parrey first with a Iudas like welcome dischargd his pistol in his bosome with the entrance of the bullet the poore man laid his faint hand on his wounded brest while Richardson with the second bullet shot him through hand and belly So fell he downe and they like bloodsucking wolues ceasd on this innocent dubbling in his death wound vpon wound mangling his face with such inhumane cruelty as no barbarous tirant coulde more outragiously haue done Then drew they him into a thicket and rifled his dead body where Richardson yet vnsatisfied with cruelty stabd him into the necke with such violence that in pulling back his hand the pummell and handle of his dagger cam off but she blade he left sticking in his neck which blade was one witnes against the murdrous maister This done they turnd his horse into the wood and houer about the country some two daies and more after For it was the second day before the murdred body was found by a fellow that sought cattle When the hue and cry came to Ailsbury Tayler among other went to see the body and by the apparell better than the face he knew it was the carcasse of that wretched man who had refused his counsell at Ailsbury the other night before He descried their apparell proportions horses and all such markes as hee aduisedly had taken while he rid in their company To London toward Wales euery way the hue and cry went Parrey was taken in Wales and contest the fact Richardson at his owne doore in London A while he denied the deed but long he stood not in it both of them accused Dernley and to Ailsbury they are all gone to suffer desera●d death God giue them repentant hearts so lament earnestly the cruelty of their handes for which more bloodinesse haue I not heard a murder of lōg time to be followed The murdred man as I before said was plaine simple of no mistrustfull heart The murderers to the worlde eye well thought off Dernley the causer of Randolphs death a very wealthy man estéemed of honest conuersation Parrey and Richardson the executioners borne of honest parentage faire conditioned not thought to liue so disorberly as it séemeth they now did For had they not béen exercised to robbery and spoyle howe durst Dernley haue broke so hainous a matter to them or if he had not before time so purpost how could hée so sodainly haue found them for his purpose but the community of the euill hath an euil end and though they band themselues for a time together death gapes for them their destruction commeth sodainly Would some by these and many more examples would take heed It is impossible murder should be hid and therefore it is folly for any man to follow it This brother in law and father in law Graygoose wright Murderers of innocent Thomas Chambers thought that their secret mischiefe could haue been as secretly conceiled as wickedly conceiued but euen the day the dead body was found their treachery was found Murdox thought he had made sure worke with youg Pets but hee yet liues whom he cruelly intended to haue slaine and being but a child condemned him a man before the seate of iudgement These last thrée thoght thēselues as sure but blood cried from the earth and the voice of the reuenger hath made them tremble Looke looke ye murderers how many miseries ye bring to those that liue by your complotting others deaths the parents wiues children followers of those you murder that neuer ment you ill are when your hatefull déede is done vexing followers of you to your deserued deaths your parents wiues children followers fréendes mournfull and helplesse lamenters for your amisse your owne names perpetually inrolled among murderers If you be tempted to any ill remēber the end shame misery and confusion of face you that were wont to walke fréely must be led like bondmen that haue béen wel thought on must bee the peoples wonder that were fréends sole comfort are most sharp percing swords vnto their hearts Let thought of blood be farre from ye for it is a sinne God hats no man will not pity FINIS
