I sayd he might see Yorke but never come at it But said the Duke when he comes to Yorke thou shalt be burned we shall see that said she and plucking her hankercher off her head she threw it into the fire and it would not burne then she tooke her staffe and turned it into the fire and it would not burne then she tooke it and put it on againe Then said the the Duke what meane you by this she replyed if this had burned I might have burned Mother Shipton quoth the Duke what thinke you of mee My Lord sayd she the time will come (a) The Duke was afterward beheaded you will be as low as I am and that is a low one indeed My Lord Piercy said and what say you of me My Lord said she shooe your horse in the quick and you will doe well but your (b) This proved true for he rose in rebellion in the North and by not flying when he might he was taken and beheaded at York where his body was buried but his head was ●●ol● away and carried into France te●g● Eliz R. body will be buried in Yorke pavement and your head shall be stolne from the Barre and carried into France At which they all laughed saying that would be a great lop betweene the head and the body Then said the Lord Darcy and what think you of me She said you have made a great Gun shoot it off for it will never doe you no good you are going to war you will paine many a man but kill none So they went away Not long after the Cardinall came to Cawood and going to the top of the Tower He asked where stands Yorke and how far it was thither and said that one said he should never see Yorke nay said one she said you might see Yorke but never come at it He vowed to burne her when he came to Yorke Then they shewed him Yorke and told him it was but eight miles thence he said that he would soone be there but being sent for by the King he died in his way to London at Leicester of a laske And Shiptons wife said to Mr. Besly yonder is a fine stall built for the Cardinall in the Minster of gold pearle and precious stones goe and present one of the pillars to King Henry and he did so Mr. Besly seeing these things fall out as she had foretold desired her to tell him some more of her Prophesies Mr. Besly said she before that (c) This came to passe for Trinity steeple in Yorke was blown downe with a tempest and Owse Bridge was broken downe with a great floud and what they did in repairing ●●e bridge in the day time with the stone of the steeple fell downe in the night untill they remembring thi●●rophesie laid the highest stone of the steeple for the foundation of the bridge and then the worke stood And by this was partly verified another of Mother Shiptons Prophesies viz.
