compassion causing him to be well rubbed and chafed which Sir Walter Raleigh himselfe afterwards told vnto Mannowry laughing that he had well exercised Sir Lewis Stucley taught him to be a Physitian This fained fitte being thus past Sir Walter Raleigh called Mannowry and when he came hee prayed him to stay by him and said hee would take some rest Mannowrie shut the doore and being alone with him Sir Walter Raleigh tolde him That his vomite had done nothing as yet and said that hee would take another more violent but Mannowry assuring him that without doubt it would worke hee contented himselfe and asked Mannowry if hee could inuent any thing that might make him looke horrible and loathsome outwardly without offending his principall parts or making him sicke inwardly Mannowry studied a little and then tolde him that hee would make a Composition presently of certaine things which would make him like a Leper from head to foote without doing him any harme which at his intreatie hee effected speedily at which time Sir Walter Raleigh gaue him the reason why hee did it telling him that his beeing in that case would make the Lords of the Counsell affraide to come neere him and mooue them with more pitie to fauour him Soone after that Mannowry had put this Composition vpon his Brow his Armes and his Breast Sir Lewis Stucley came into the Chamber and Mannowry went away and Sir Lewis Stucley perceiuing the places where Mannowry had put this Composition to be all pimpled his face full of great blisters of diuers colours hauing in the middest a little touch of yellow and round about like a purple colour and all the rest of his skinne as it were inflamed with heare hee beganne to apprehend the danger of the disease that it was contagious and being very much astonished at the suddaine accident he asked Mannowry what he thought thereof but Mannowry iudged it fit to conceale it from him at that time seeing Sir Walter Raleigh had not yet tolde him that hee meant to flie out of England but that it was onely to gaine time to satisfie his Maiestie Vpon Mannowry his vncertaine answere to Sir Lewis Stucley touching Sir Walter Raleigh his maladie Stucley resolued to goe to my Lord Bishop of Elie now of Winchester to relate vnto him in what case Sir Walter Raleigh was and brought vnto Raleigh two Physicians to see and visite him who being come could tell nothing of what humour the saide sickenesse was composed There came also a third a Bachelour in Physicke who all could not by all that they could doe discouer this disease Onely they gaue their opinion and aduise that the Patient could not be exposed to the Ayre without manifest perill of his life and thereof they made their report in writing vnto which Mannowry also set his hand Sir Walter Raleigh seeing that all these things fell out according to his intention was exceedingly contented thereat especially that in the presence of the sayde Physicians the vomit beganne to worke both vpwards and downewards And because he doubted that the Physicians would aske to see his water hee prayed Mannowry to doe something to make it seeme troubled and badde which to content him giuing him the Vrinall into his bedde Mannowry rubbed the inside of the glasse with a certaine Drugge which as soone as hee had made water therein the Vrine euen in the hands of the Physicians turned all into an earthy humour of a blackish colour and made the water also to haue an ill sauour which made the Physicians iudge the disease to be mortall and without remedy but from Heauen Hee made Mannowry also to tie his armes about with blacke silke ribband which hee tooke from his Poyniard to trie if it would distemper the pulse but that succeeded not as hee thought it would The day following hee called Mannowry and prayed him to make some more such blisters vpon him as vpon his nose his head his thighes and his legges which Mannowry hauing done it succeeded according to his desire for which he was very iocund and merry with Mannowry and sayde vnto him that the euacuation which his physicke had caused had so opened his stomacke that he was exceeding hungry and prayed Mannowry that hee would goe and buy him some meat secretly for quoth he if I eate publiquely it will bee seene that I am not sicke so according to his request Mannowry went to the White-hart in Salisbury and bought him a legge of Mutton and three loaues which he ate in secret and by this subtilty it was thought that he liued three dayes without eating but not without drinke Thus hee continued vntill Friday the last of Iuly seeming alwayes to be sicke in the presence of company and neuerthelesse beeing alone hee writte his Declaration or Apology and prayed Mannowry to transcribe it which was since presented to his Maiestie The same euening Sir Lewis Stuckley discoursing vpon his sickenesse and whence it should proceed Sir Walter Raleigh saide in these words As God saue mee I thinke I haue taken poyson where I lay the night before I came to this Towne I know that Master Parham is a great louer of the King of Spaine and a Papist and that hee keepes alwayes a Priest in his house but I will not haue any of you to speake of it nor you Mounsier quoth hee speaking to Mannowry Also Sir Walter Raleigh his Chamber doores beeing shutte walked vp and downe and only Mannowry with him there naked in his shirt and tooke a looking glasse and looking vpon the spots in his face whereat he tooke great pleasure and laughing said vnto Mannowry these words We shall laugh well one day for hauing thus cozened and beguiled the King his Councell and the Physitians and the Spaniards and all Vpon the Saturday that his Maiestie arriued at Salisbury which was the first of August Sir Walter Raleigh desired to speake with Mannowry in secret and seemed to haue a verie great apprehension of some thing and hauing made him shut the doores prayed him to giue him a redde leather coffer which was within another coffer which when hee had hee was a good while looking in it and then called Mannowry and putting nine peeces of Spanish money of gold into his hand hee saide thus There is twenty Crownes in Pistolets which I giue you for your Physicall receipts and the victuall you bought mee and I will giue you fiftie pound a yeere if you will doe that which I shall tell you and if it happen that Sir Lewis Stucley doe aske you what conference you had with mee tell him that you comfort mee in mine aduersity and that I make you no other answere then thus as is here written which hee had alreadie written with his owne hand in a little peece of paper for Mannowries instruction as followeth Vela M.

Thomé All this while Sir W. Raleigh staied at Pont degallo by the space of some 9. weekes during which time it was much noted by those that remained with him that the speech of the Mine was dead wheras men in expectation do commonly feede themselues with the talke of that they long to heare of Nay more after he had receiued newes of the taking of the Towne which had beene the fittest time to pursue the enterprize of the Mine in regard the Towne that might haue beene the impediment was mastered hee neuer entertained any such designe but contrariwise hauing knowledge at the same time that his son was slaine who as it seemes was his onely care amongst the Land souldiers he did mooue very inhumanly to remooue not a little from Pont degallo to Port-hercule in respect of the danger of the Current as hee pretended but to goe for the Charibes many leagues off accompting as it seemeth the land Souldiers but as fruges consumere natos and hauing his thoughts onely vpon Sea forces which how they should haue beene imployed euery man may iudge And whereas some pretence is made by him as if hee should leaue some word at Pont degallo of direction to what place the land Souldiers should follow him it is plaine he knew them at that time so distressed for victuall as famine must haue ouertaken them before they could ouertake him at which time one of his Captaines told him that he had deliuered out 52. men to that seruice which were then at the enterprize on Land whose liues hee held at a deare rate and that he would not weigh Anchor as long as he had a Cable to ride by or a Cake of bread to eate So Sir W. Raleigh finding no consent in that which hee propounded that cruell purpose was diuerted It was also much obserued that after that vnfortunate returne of Kemish notwithstanding Sir W. Raleigh did publiquely giue out that hee would question him for failing to prosecute the Mine hee had him at Dinner and Supper and vsed him as familiarly and as kindly as before And to Geo. Raleigh the Sergeant Major to whom he did vse the like discountenances in publique who tooke it more tenderly and complained and brake with him about it he did open himselfe more plainely telling him that hee must seeme to doe as much as he did to giue satisfaction After all this when the prosecution of this imaginarie Mine vanished and was defeated and that his Company cast a sad eye homewards finding they were but abused Sir Walter Raleigh called a Councell of his Captaines and helde the same in his Cabbine where hee propounded to them that his Intention and designe was First to make to the New-found lands and there to revictuall and refresh his Ships And thence to goe to the Westerne Islands and there to lie in waite to meete with the Mexico Fleete or to surprise some Carrackes and so hauing gotten treasure which might make him welcome into any forreine Countrey to take some newe course for his future fortunes valuing himselfe as a man of great enterprise and fame abroad but then and at diuers times hee did directly and openly declare that it was no comming for ENGLAND for that he knew not how things would be construed and that he for his part would neuer put his head vnder the Kings girdle except hee first saw the great Seale for his pardon At which time his cogitations imbracing East and West rather then any returne into his Countrey hee did in particular make promise to a principall Commander in his Company to giue him a Ship to goe into the East Indies if hee would accompanie him thither But according to his first proiect hee went to the New found Land which hee needed not to haue done if his purpose had been for England for that hee had victuals enough and to spare for that iourney and there at New found Land his other company hauing formerly dispersed and forsaken him his owne companie which was in his owne Ship began likewise to mutine And although some old Pirates either by his inciting or out of feare of their owne case were fierce and violent for the Sea and against the returne yet the far greater number were for the return at which time himselfe got aland and stood vpon the Sea banke ànd put it to a question whether they should returne for England or land at New found Land Whereupon there was a diuision of voyces the one part to the Starreboard and the other to the Larboard of which that part which was for the returne for England was two parts of three and would by no meanes be drawen to set foote on land but kept themselues in the Ship where they were sure they were masters which hee perceiuing for feare of further mutinie professed in dissimulation that hee himselfe was for the returne into England and came and stood amongst them that had most voyces But neuerthelesse after that he despaired to draw his companie to follow him further hee made offer of his owne Ship which was of great value to his company if they would set him aboard a French Barque The like offer he made when hee came vpon the Coast of Ireland to some of his chiefe Officers there But about the time of his arriuall vpon the coast of Ireland the forcing and sacking of Saint Thomé and the firing of the Towne and the putting the Spaniards to the sword was noysed abroad in all parts and was by speciall aduertisement comne vnto the knowledge of the Count de Gondomar then Ambassador for the King of Spaine with his Maiesty who therevpon prayed audience of his Maiesty and with great instance demanded Iustice against the persons and their goods who had committed those outrages and made those spoyles vpon his Maiesties subiects according to his Maiesties promise and the treaty of Peace Whereupon his Maiestie published his Royall Proclamation for the discouery of the truth of Raleighs proceedings and the aduancement of Iustice. Notwithstanding all which his Maiestie vsed a gracious and milde course towards Sir Walter Raleigh sending downe Sir L. Stucley Vice-admirall of the Countie of Deuon to bring Sir Walter Raleigh in faire manner and as his health would giue leaue by easie iourneyes to London For about this time Sir Walter Raleigh was comne from Ireland into England into the Port of Plimouth where it was easie to discerne with what good will hee came thither by his immediate attempt to escape from thence For soone after his comming to Plimouth before hee was vnder guard he dealt with the Owner of a French Barque pretending it was for a Gentleman a friend of his to make ready his Barque for a passage and offered him twelue Crownes for his paines And one night he went in a little Boate to haue seene the Barque that should haue transported him but the night being verie darke hee missed of the Barque and came backe againe nothing done wherein by the

effect de mon confidence au Roy. Which paper of Raleighs hand writing Mannowry produced And now Sir Walter Raleigh beganne to practise with Mannowrie and to tell him that hee would flie and get himselfe out of England and that if Mannowry would aide him in his escape it was all in his power and that Sir Lewis Stucley trusted in no bodie but Mannowry whereupon Mannowry made him an ouerture that at his comming to London he should keepe himselfe close in a friends house of Mannowries in Shire-lane in London whereunto he seemed to encline and found Mannowries aduise good for a while but in the end hee told him that hee was resolued otherwise and that hee had alreadie sent Captaine King to hire him a Barke below Grauelend which would goe with all windes and another little boate to carrie him to it For quoth hee to hide my selfe in London I should be alwayes in feare to be discouered by the generall searchers that are there but to escape I must get leaue to goe to my house and being there I will handle the matter so that I will escape out of the hands of Sir Lewis Stucley by a backe-doore and get mee into the boate for no bodie will doubt that I can goe on foote seeing mee so feeble as I seeme to bee And then Raleigh hauing mused a while without speaking Mannowrie asked him Sir wherefore will you flie your Apologie and your last Declaration doe not they iustifie you sufficiently Then all in choler Raleigh answered him in English thus Neuer tell mee more a man that feares is neuer secure which fashion of his put Mannowry to silence for that time Now there rested nothing but his Maiesties Licence to permit him to goe to his owne house without which hee sayde hee could nor possibly escape This Licence was after granted him by the meanes of Master Vice-chamberlaine and Master Secretarie Naunton which being obtained Mannowry tooke occasion to say to him That heereby one might see that his Maiesty had no meaning to take his life seeing that hee suffered him to goe to his owne house to recouer his health No quoth Raleigh they vsed all these kindes of flatteries to the Duke of Byron to draw him fairely to the prison and then they cut off his head I knowe that they haue concluded amongst them that it is expedient that a man should die to reassure the Trafficke which I haue broken in Spaine And thereupon brake foorth into most hatefull and Trayterous wordes against the Kings owne Person ending in a menace and brauery That if hee could saue himselfe for that time hee would plot such plots as should make the King thinke himselfe happy to send for him againe and render him his estate with aduantage yea and force the King of Spaine to write into England in his fauour Mannowry at that time did aske him further if hee escaped what should become of Sir Lewis Stucley and whether hee should bee put to death for him or not and whether hee should loose his Office and Estate Not to death quoth Raleigh but hee will bee imprisoned for a while but his landes the King cannot haue for that they are already assured to his eldest sonne and for the rest it was no part of his care Mannowry further asked him if it were not Treason in himselfe to be ayding to his escape No quoth hee for that you are a stranger neuerthelesse you must not bee knowne of any thing for then you will bee sure to bee put in prison In conclusion Mannowry demaunded of him yet further But what if it be discouered that I had any hand in your escape why quoth hee follow mee into France that is your Countrey and quit all and I will make you amends for all After Raleigh went on his iourney to Andolier and so to Hartford-bridge and from thence to Staines during which time Sir Lewis Stucley being made acquainted by Mannowry with Raleigh his purpose to escape vsed extraordinarie diligence in guards and watches vpon him which Raleigh perceiuing saide to Mannowry at Staines I perceiue well it is not possible for mee to escape by our two meanes alone Stucley is so watchfull and sets such strait guard vpon mee and will bee too hard for vs for all our cunnings therefore there is no way but to make him of our counsell and if wee can perswade him to let mee saue my selfe I wil giue him in hand two hundred pounds sterling worth and thereupon drew forth a Iewell and shewed it to Mannowrie and gaue it into his hand made in the fashion of haile powdered with Diamonds with a Rubie in the middest which hee valued at a hundred and fiftie pound sterling and said Besides this Iewell hee shall haue fiftie pound in money I pray you goe tell him so from me and perswade him to it I know he will trust you Mannowrie went presently to Stucley and told him as before and concluded with him that Mannowrie should report backe to Raleigh that hee would accept of his offer and bade him tell Raleigh also that hee was content to doe as hee desired but hee would chuse rather to goe away with him then to tarie behind with shame and reproach and hee bade Mannowrie aske him further how hee thought hee could doe this without loosing his Office of Vice-Admirall which cost him sixe hundred pounds and how they should liue afterwards and to what place they should go and what meanes he would carie with him to furnish this intended escape which Mannowrie did and was answered by the said Raleigh and prayed to tell Stucley that if hee would sweare vnto him not to discouer him hee would tell him his whole intent and that for the first point though Stucley should loose his Office yet hee should bee no looser vpon the matter and for afterwards assoone as hee was gotten into France or Holland his wife was to send him a thousand pounds Sterling and that hee caried with him onely a thousand Crownes in money and Iewells to serue for the present in his escape But after supper Raleigh said vnto Mannowrie Oh if I could escape without Stucley I should doe brauely But it is no matter said hee I le carie him along and afterwards I le dispatch my selfe of him well enough And after Mannowrie relating all that had passed to Stucley brought them together at which time Raleigh shewed the Iewell to Stucley and hee making shew to bee content prayed him a little respite to dispose of his Office whereupon Mannowrie seeing them so accorded vpon the matter in appearance tooke his leaue of them to goe to London and in the morning Mannowrie vpon the taking of his leaue said to Raleigh that hee did not thinke to see him againe while hee was in England Whereupon Raleigh gaue him a Letter directed to Mistris Herrys of Radford that shee should deliuer him an yron fornace with a Distillatory of Copper belonging vnto it and charged him to tell
