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
