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
