come in Mr. Beasley and these honourable Lords with you And then Mr. Beasley would have put the three Lords before and she said come in Mr. Beasley for you know the house and they do not This is a strange thing said they one to another that she knows us and never saw us before And they came in there being a good fire And Mr. Beasley said by your leave Mother Shipton and she said you are welcome Mr. Beasley Then the other three Lords said the like And she called them all by their names and bid them welcome and bid them sit down and bade her maid fetch some ale and cakes she did so And they all drank and were very merry Then said the Lord Duke if ye knew what we came about you would not make so much of us And she said the M●ssenger mu●t be either headed or hanged Mother Shipton said the

be in there a great while and when she saw that it would not burn she took her staff and turned it in the fire and it would not burn then she took it out of the fire and shaked it and put it on her head again Now said the Lord Duke mother Shipton what mean you by this She said if his had burned I might have burned also Mother Shipton said the Duke what must I do My Lord said she the time will come when you shall be in as low an office as I am in and that is a low office indeed Then said the Lord Piercy Mother Shipton what must I do My Lord said she shooe your horse in the quick and you shall do well if not your body shall be buried in York pavement and your head shall be stolne from the Barr and carried into France And they laughed and said this is a great hop indeed between the head and the body Then said the Lord Darcy Mother Shipton what must I do Ye have made a great Gun said she shoot it off for it will never do you good you are going for warfare but you will pine many a man but kill none So they drank and gave her money and went to Mr. Beasleys house and lay there all night The next morning they went up to the King Soon after the Cardinal came to Cawood and stayed there three days and three nights and the third day the Cross of the house top sell down and brake the Stewards head The Cardinal hearing of it said I fear a greater cross then this In the afternoon the Cardinal went to the top of the house and many Knights with him He asked where stood York And they shewed where it stood How far is it thither said he And they answered seven miles Saith he one said I shall never see York Nay my Lord said one of the Knights she said you might see York but never come at it Then he made a vow he would burn her and the Priests that boarded at her house if they lacked their vestments The Priests hearing of this were sore afraid and she bade them keep themselves content and they should have twenty to morrow if they would Then at night the Cardinal supped and after supper he charged that no man should come in And when the company was gone that supped with him the Lord Piercy came to the gate and knocked The Porter asked who was there Saying that no man might come in The Lord Piercy thereupon changed his name for one of the kinsfolk of the Cardinal and so got in And when he saw the Lord Piercy he said mercy my Lord Piercy No traitour said the Lord Piercy thou shalt to London And they set him upon a horse and rode for London with him And hiptons wife said to Mr. Beastry youder is a goodly stall made for the Cardinal in the Minster of gold pearl and precious stones go and pull down one of the pillars and present it King Henry and as she bade him so he did Now the third day as the Cardinal was going towards London he poysoned himself and so he
