against persons of Nobility 〈◊〉 cunning to dissemble the same was sworne one of the six ordinary Gentlemen he was afterwards for lust and cruelty a monster of the court as apt to hate so a most sure executioner of his hate yet rather by practise then by open dealing as wanting rather courage then wit After his entertainment into a place of so neere seruice the King enioyed his health not long The Duke of Northumberland being now inferior vnto none of the nobility in title of honour and superior to all in authority and power could not restraine his haughty hopes from aspiring to an absolute command But before he would directly leuill at his marke the Duke of Somerset was thought fit to be taken away whose ●…re did was so great with the common people that although it sufficed not to beare out any bad attempt of his owne yet was it of force to crosse the euill purposes of others And now to begin the third act of his tragedie speeches were cast that he caused himselfe to be proclaimed King in diuers countries which albeit they were knowne to be false insomuch as the millers seruant at Battlebridge in Southwarke lost both his yeares vpon a pillory for so reporting yet the very naming of him to be King either as desired by himselfe or by others esteemed worthy brought with it a distastfull rellish apt to apprehend suspition to be true After this he was charged to haue persuaded diuers of the nobility to choose him Protector at the next parliament The Duke being questioned neither held silence as he might nor constantly denie it but entangled himselfe in his doubtfull tale One Whaly a busy headed man and desirous to be set on worke gaue first light to this appeachment but the Earle of Rutland did stoutly auouch it Herewith S r Thomas Palmer a man neither louing the Duke of Somerset nor beloued of him was brought by the Duke of Northumberland to the King being in his garden Heere he declared that vpon S t George day last before the Duke of Somerset being vpon a iourney towards the North in case S r William Herbert M r of the horse had not assured him that he should receiue no harme would haue raised the people and that he had sent the Lord Gray before to know who would be his friends also that the Duke of Northumberland the Marques of Northampton the Earle of Pembrooke and other Lords should be inuited to a banquet and if they came with a bare company to be set vpon by the way if strongly their heads should haue beene cut off at the place of their feasting he declared further that S r Ralph Uane had 2000 men in a readinesse that S r Thomas Arundell had assured the tower that Seymor and Hamond would waite vpon him and that all the horse of the Gendarmorie should be slaine To this M r Secretary Cecill added that the Duke had sent for him and said that he suspected some ill meaning against him whereto M r Secretary answered that if he were not in fault hee might trust to his innocencie if he were he had nothing to say but to lament him The Duke being aduertised of these informations against him by some who had some regard of honestie did forthwith defie the Secretary by his letters Then he sent for Sir Thomas Palmer to vnderstand what he had reported of him who denied all that he had said but by this hot humorous striuing he did but draw the knots more fast A few daies being passed the Duke either ignorant of what was intended or fearing if he seemed to perceiue it came to the court but somewhat later then he accustomed and as too mindes possessed with feare all things vnvsuall seeme to menace danger so this late coming of the Duke was enforced as a suspition against him and so after dinner he was apprehended Sir Thomas Palmer Sir Thomas Arundell Hamonde Nudigates Iohn Seymor and Dauid Seymor were also made prisoners the Lord Gray being newly come out of the country was attached S r Ralph Uane being twice sent for fled vpon the first message it was reported that he said that his Lord was not stout and that if he could get home he cared not for any but vpon pursuit he was found in his seruants stable at Lambeth couered with straw he was a man of a fierce spirit both sodaine bold of no euill disposition sauing that he thought scantnesse of estate too great an euill All these were the same night sent to the tower except Palmer Arundell and Vant who were kept in the court well guarded in chambers apart The day following the Dutches of Somerset was sent to the Tower no man grieuing thereat because her pride and basenesse of life ouerballanced all pitty and doubtlesse if any mischiefe were then contriued whereof many were doubtfull euery one giuing forth as he belieued it was first hammered in the forge of her wicked working braine for shee had alwaies wicked instruments about her whom the more she found appliable to her purposes the more fauors she bestowed vpon them who being engaged by her into dangers held it dangerous to fall from her also with her were committed one Crane and his wife and her own chamberwoman After these followed S r Thomas Holdcroft S r Miles Partridge Sir Michaell Stanhope Wingfield Banister Vaughan and some others In diuers of these was then neither any cause knowne or afterwardes discouered but the number raised the greater terror and doubled the conceit of the danger Sir Thomas Palmer being againe examined added to his former detection that the Gendarmorie vpon the muster day should be assaulted by 2000 foote vnder Sir Ralph Vane and by 100 horses of the Duke of Somersets besides his friends which should stand by and besides the idle people which were thought inclineable to take his part that this done he would runne throw the cittie and proclaime liberty and in case his attempt did not succeed hee would goe to the I le of Wight or to Poole Crane confessed for the most part as Palmer had done and futher added that the Lord Pagets house was the place where the nobility being inuited to a banquet should
