A08119	Norfolkes furies, or a view of Ketts campe necessary for the malecontents of our time, for their instruction, or terror; and profitable for euery good subiect, to incourage him vpon the vndoubted hope of the victorie, to stand faithfully to maintayne his prince and countrey, his wife and children, goods, and inheritance.

intangled with the blinde illusions of Southsayers they chose a certayne Vally not farre off as appointed to this warre by destinie Although surely as is recorded there wanted not strange and euident tokens of Gods heauy displeasure against them For a Snake leaping out of a ro●ten Tree did spring directly into the bosome of Ketts wife which thing strooke not so much the hearts of many with an horrible feare as it filled Kett himselfe with doubtfull ca●es But here peraduenture it will not be impertinent to remember how these men puffed vp with the opinion of an idle error turned themselues to pestilent things Which when surely they portended the anger and vengeance of God as it seemed yet swelling with raging cruelty and obstinacy they all neglected So great a mist of darknesse vndoubtedly is Satan wont to bring vpon the mindes of men as oft as he findeth them drowned in mischiefe For while there were many doting Prophecies among the People out of which they sucked I know not what hope of victorie yet they imbraced certayne vnsauo●ie and sottish Verses tokens of the foolish cruelty of their minds aboue al the rest Which they vsed euery day often speaking of them for false prophets almost euery houre instilled such fopperies into their eares For example there was a toy neuer heard of before which exceeded all credit as at the mention whereof how their furious senses were stir●ed vp may appeare and with how great and vaine delight they carried themselues may easily be seene although by these Verses alone had beene prophecied to them prosperity and victorie but vnto vs destruction and a miserable ruine of all things The Verses were these The Countrey gn●offes Hob Dick and Hick VVith clubbes and clou●ed shoone Shall fill vp Dussyn dale VVith slautered bodies soone While these Verses were sung continually euery where the Deuill infused such poyson into the mindes of these most wretched men as they decreed to commit their hope of good successe to a doubtfull euent of a false place Therefore all their Dennes and lurking places euery where which they had made on Moushold of tymber and other prouision being now set on fire insomuch as the smoke rising from so many places distant one from another seemed to bring night almost vpon the whole skeyes and couered the Plaines with thick darkenesse From thence they went to the Valley called Dussyns Dale with twenty ancients and ensignes of Warre So great was the Rebels hope of prey and the multitude allured through impu●ity There they practise all they can and beginne to deuise how to take away from our men the assault and hope of giuing the charge Insomuch as they intrenched then themselues as in a moment and made Bulwarks and other defences Moreouer they brought a ditch ouer the high wayes and cut off all passage pitching their Iauelins and stakes in the ground before them When Warwick had intelligence hereof he also purposed to trye the euent of warre that whom by lenity and patience he could not perswade those he might by force of Armes subdue Therefore the day following that was the sixt of the Kalends of September setting his Armie in order hee marched against the Enemy through Cosleny Gates There ioyned with him the Marquesse of Northhampton VVilloughby Poijsie Bray Ambros● Dudley Warwicks sonne and besides of Noble and valiant men a choise company Notwithstanding before they came into the fight of the enemie they sent Edmund Kneuet and Thomas Palmer Gentlemen and famous in the Court and as many other with them to inquire whether they would leaue off their furies and forsake their wickednesse crueltie and purpose of making warre against their Countrie now at the last for so great and incredible is the goodnesse and clemency of the Kings Maiestie that although with an impietie neuer to be forgotten they had abused his Maiestie and dignitie and stained themselues with euerlasting notes of villanie yet he hath commanded once againe to bee offered vnto them peace and pardon notwithstanding al that they had committed yea to euery of them one or two excepted so as they would turne to dutie now at the last being ledde with repentance from this course of malice and wickednesse but if they purposed peeuishly and vngodly to persist in their madnes and to trie the end Now let them know there was come at the last the iust punishment of their foolish lightnesse and disloi●ltie and Warwicke himselfe although late yet the sure reuenger of so horrible a conspiracie Hereunto they all stoutly made one answere That they would not Which answere returned to Warwicke he without any long exhortation perswaded his souldiers alreadie burning with a feruent desire of the battell that they should valiantly inuade the enemie and cast no doubts but repute and take the company of Rebel● which they saw not for men but bruit beasts indued with all crueltie Neither let them suppose that they were come out to fight but to take punishment and should speedily require it at the h●nds of these most vngratious robbers that they should lay euen with the ground afflict punish and vtterly roote out the baine of their Country the ouerthrow of Christian Religion and dutie Finally most cruell beasts and striuing against the Kings Maiestie with an irrecouerable madnesse When he had thus spoken because the enemie was within shot he giueth a signe of the battel but the Campers perceiuing our men comming against them so d●sposed their company as fi●st they placed in the sore-ranke of the battell all the Gentlemen which they carried with them after the manner of condemned persons chained together and bound with giues and fetters Which they did to this end that our friends might be slaine of our selues but by the prouidence of God vsing the incredible courage of our Souldiers it came to passe otherwise then the enemie looked for so as they escaped safe almost all of them For Miles who as we said of late was Ketts Master Gunner and most skilful in that Arte with an iron bullet strooke the Kings Standerd-bearer thorow the thigh which strooke also the horse he rode on thorow the shoulder so as both died with the same shot Which thing our men taking grieuously discharged also their peeces againe with such a terrible volly of shot vpon the enemie as it brake their rankes who by this occasion continually forced and disordered all the Gentlemen which were in the fore-f●ont flying escaped the storme of the battell Our horsemen after they perceiued the enemy to bee scattered and put to flight with the often shot of the Gunners and Harquebus●ers ranne vpon them sodainely with all their troupes and gaue them a charge where they were so farte from abiding the incounter as like sheep cōfusedly they ran away headlong as it were mad men But throug the noise and cry of our men following euen now in the last obstinacy of treason when their fierce
