The Prophecie of Mother Shipton in the Raigne of King Henry the eighth WHen shee heard King Henry the eighth should be King ●nd Cardinall Wolsey should be at Yorke shee said that Cardinall Wolsey should never come to Yorke with the King and the Cardinall hearing being angry sent the Duke of Suffolke the Lord Piercy and the Lord Darcy to her who came with their men disguised to the Kings house neere Yorke where leaving their men they went to Master Besley to Yorke and desired him to goe with them to Mother Shiptons house where when they came they knocked at the doore shee said Come in Master Besley and those honourable Lords with you and Master Besley would have put in the Lords before him but she said come in Master Besley you know the way but they doe not This they thought strange that she should know them and never saw them then they went into the house where there was a great fire and she bade them welcome calling them all by their names and sent for some Cakes and Ale and they drunke and were very merry Mother Shipton said the Duke if you knew what wee come about you would not make us so welcome and shee said the messenger should not be hang'd Mother Shipton said the Duke you said the Cardinall should never see Yorke Yea said shee I said hee might see Yorke but never come at it But said the Duke when he comes to Yorke thou shalt be burned Wee shall see that said shee and plucking her Handkerchieffe off her head shee threw it into the fire and it would not burne then shee tooke her staffe and turned it into the fire and it would not burne then she tooke it and put it on againe Now said the Duke what meane you by this If this had burn'd said she I might have burned Mother Shipton quoth the Duke what thinke you of me my love said she the time will come you will be as low as I am and that 's a low one indeed My Lord Percy said what say you of me My Lord said she shooe your Horse in the quicke and you shall doe well but your body will bee buried in Yorke pavement and your head shall be stolne from the barre and carried into France Then said the Lord Darcy and what thinke you of me Shee said you have made a great Gun shoot it off for it will doe you no good you are going to warre you will paine many a man but you will kill none so they went away Not long after the Cardinall came to Cawwood and going to the top of the Tower hee asked where Yorke was and how farre it was thither and said that one had said hee should never see Yorke Nay said one shee said you might see Yorke but never come at it He vowed to burne her when hee came to Yorke Then they shewed him Yorke and told him it was but eight miles thence he said that he will be soone there but being sent for by the King hee dyed in the way to London at Lecester of a laske And Shiptons wife said to Master Besley yonder is a fine stall built for the Cardinall in the Minster of Gold Pearle and precious stone goe and present one of the pillers to King Henry and hee did so
