by many additions are now growne to be the most absolute and famous of that kinde in Europe The Kings sicknesse daily increased and so did the Duke of Northumberlands diligence about him for he was little absent from the King and had alwayes some well assured to espie how the state of his health changed euery houre and the more ioyfull hee was at the heart the more sorrowfull appearance did he outwardly make whether any tokens of poyson did appeare reports are various certainly his Physitians discerned an inuincible malignitie in his disease and the suspition did the more increase for that the complaint being chiefly from the lights a part as of no quicke sense so no seat for any sharpe disease yet his sicknesse towards the end grew highly extreme but the Duke regarded not much the muttering multitude knowing right well that rumours grow stale and vanish with time and yet somewhat either to abate or delay them for the present hee caused speeches to be spread abroad that the King was well recouered in health which was readily beleeued as most desired to be true Hereupon all persons expressed ioy in their countenance and speech which they inlarged by telling the newes to others whom they incountred who haply had heard it often before and as the report increased so there with increased also the ioy Thus whilest euery men beleeued and no man knew it was made more credible by religious persons who openly in Churches gaue publike thankes for the Kings recouery But when the speech of his danger was againe reuiued and as in newe it happeneth the more stopped the more increased to the worse then as if the second time he had beene lost the people did immoderatly breake forth into passions complaining that for this cause his two Vncles had beene taken away for this cause the most faithfull of his Nobilitie and of his Councell were disgraced and remoued from Court this was the reason that such were placed next his person who were most assuredly disposed either to commit or permit any mischiefe that then it did appeare that it was not vainly coniectured some yeares before by men of iudgement and fore-sight that after Somersets death the King should not long enioy his life To qualifie these and some broader speeches it was thought conuenient that the King sometimes should shew himselfe abroad albeit little either with his pleasure or for his health yet a thing which in long consuming sicknesses euen to the last period of life men are often able to doe Whilest the King remained thus grieuously sicke diuers notable mariages were solemnized at once in Durham place The Lord Guldford fourth sonne to the Duke of Northumberland married Lady Iane the Duke of Suffolkes eldest daughter by Frances daughter to Mary second sister to King Henry the eighth also the Earle of Pembrokes eldest sonne married the Lady Katherine the Duke of Suffolkes eldest daughter by the said Lady Frances who then was liuing and Martin Kayes Gentleman Porter married Marie the third daughter of the Duke of Suffolke by the said Lady Frances lastly the Lord Hastings sonne to the Earle of Huntington tooke to wife Katherine youngest daughter to the Duke of Northumberland hereupon the common people vpon a disposition to interpret all Northumberlands actions to the worst left nothing vnspoken which might serue to st●…rre their hatred against the Duke or pitie towards the King but the Duke was nothing moued herear for being equally obstinate both in purpose and desire and mounting his hopes aboue the pitch of reason he resolued then to dissemble no longer but began openly to play his game For albeit the Lady Iane married to his fourth sonne had not right to the succession of the Crowne for that shee was excluded first by the two Ladies Mary and Elizabeth daughters of King Henry the eighth next by the issue of Lady Margret married into Scotland eldest sister to King Henry the eighth lastly by her owne mother the Ladie Frances who then was liuing yet Northumberland sottishly mad with ouer great fortune procured the King by his Letters Patents vnder the great Seale of England to appoint the Lady Iane to succeed him in the inheritance of the Crowne in this contriuance he vsed the aduice of two especially Lord chiefe Iustice Montague who drew the Letters Patents and Secretary Cecil these furnished the Patent with diuers reasons whereof some were of Law and some of policie in State The pretensions of Law were these that albeit the Crowne of the Realme by an Act of the fiue and thirtieth of King Henry the eighth was in default of his issue of his body and of the body of Edward his sonne lawfully begotten limited to remaine to the Lady Mary his eldest daughter and to the heires of her body lawfully begotten and in default of such issue the remainder thereof to the Lady Elizabeth his second daughter and to the heires of her body lawfully begotten vnder such conditions as should be limited by the said King vnder his Letters Patents vnder the great Seale or by his last Will in writing signed with his hand yet because the said limitations were made to persons illegitimate both the marriages betweene King Henry the eighth and their seuerall mothers being vndone by sentences of diuorce and the seuerall diuorcements ratified by authoritie of Parliament in the eight and thirtieth yeare of King Henry the eighth which Act remained then in force both the Lady Mary and the Lady Elizabeth were thereby disabled to claime the Crowne or any honours or hereditaments as heires

rage the seditious maintained their assault some being almost disable to hold vp their weapons would striue what they could to strike their enimies others being thrust through the body with a speare would runne themselues further to reach those who gaue them that deadly wounde at the last their obstinacy was overcome and they returned to their cabbines with losse of 300 of their company The residue of the night which was not much the souldiers within the citty applied in refreshing themselues but the next morning the seditious both with greater strength and better order entered the citty by the hospitall and began a most desperate surprise the forces of the Marques albeit inferior in numbers yet by reason of the freshnes of the place might haue beene sufficient if they had charged in order and together but being scattered in the streets they were not able to make resistance herewith they were much endammaged by the cittizens from their houses so as 100 of them perished many were hurt and the residue driven to forsake the citty the Lord Shiffields horse fell with him into a ditch wereby hee fell into the power of the seditious and as he pulled off his helmet to shew them who he was a butcher slew him with the stroak of a club Divers gentlemē to the number of 30 were taken and committed to streight prison where they were vexed alike with scarcity and scorne The seditious lost a bout seauen schoore of their company and yet much sleshed with this successe they spoiled many parts of the citty and fired the houses of those whom they esteemed not to bee their friends but the rage of the fire was at first hindred and then appeased by fall of a suddaine shower of raine wherevpon many presaged that the flames of this sedition should neither spread farre nor long endure The report of this repulse flying to London the most made of that which was true and many falsities added thereto The Earle of Warwicke was sent with such forces both English and strangers wherewith hee had appointed for seruice in Scotland when he came to Cambridge the Lord Marquis resorted vnto him and also the Lord Willoughby Powes and Bray his two sonnes Ambrose and Robert and many knights and gentlemen of name with these hee marched somewhat leasurely because the importance of the danger might make the service the more esteemed At length h●…e presented his forces consisting of 6000 foote and 1500 horse before the citty vpon the plaine and forthwith sent to summon the seditious and to offer pardon if it would be accepted but neither summons nor pardon was any thing regarded Insomuch as when the Kings pardon was offred by a herault a lewd boy turned towards him his naked britch and vsed words sutable to that gesture one standing by and moued with this barbarous behaviour discharged a harquebur vpon the boy and stroke him with the shot a little aboue the reines Hereat those seditious that seemed moderate before became desperate and those who were desperate seemed starke mad whence such tumults such confused hollowings and howlings ensued that the heralde was glad to withdraw himselfe Then the Earle planted his cannon against S t Stephens gate and se●… pioners to worke against the brazen gate The cannon against S. Stephens gate executed so well that in short time the Port●…ullis and gate were broken and entry opened into the city Others entered at the brazen gate but in that entrance some were slaine Also the Maiors deputy opened Westwicke gate where the Earle himselfe entred without resistance and possessed himselfe of the market place at these entrances 130 of the seditious were slaine 60 were taken and forthwith executed by martiall law As the Earles carriages were brought into the citty neither garded norregarded as they should divers of them were surprised by the seditious and driuen to Monsholde At this bootie they were more ioyfull then grieued at the losse either of the cittie or of their companions especially for that they were supplied thereby with good store of powder and shot wherein their want did most consist The Earle being in possession of the citty rampared all the gates except those who opened towards Monsholde wherein he planted good artillerie But the seditious the more terrible by reason of their more desperate fury fell vpon those gates albeit without order yet with such rude and carelesse courage and cries that they beat backe the guardes slew the principall gunners carried away their artillery and therewith certaine carts laden with munition here were boies obserued to be so desperatly resolued as to pull arrowes out of their owne flesh and deliuer them to be shot againe by the archers on their side herevpon the Earle was enforced to blocke vp those gates as hee had done the rest but the citty was so weake that it could hardly be defended For the seditious being now furnished with artillerie powder and shot battered Bishopsgate and cast downe agreat part of the walls vpon that side of the citty They afterwards passed the riuer likewise and assailed the Earles men vpon advantage in the streets of whom many they slew fired divers places prostrating two parishes almost entirely so they did mischiefe they little cared what they did or to what end and in such sort the danger encreased that many perswaded the Earle to submit courage to rage and for a time to abandon the citty But he not easily vincible in spirit and well assured that hauing stopped all passages for reliefe shortnesse of provision would in very short time draw the obstinacy of the seditious to shorter limits drew his sword and caused others to doe the like according to a souldiery custome in cases of extremity by enterchange of a kisse by every of them vpon the swords of others sealed a resolution to maintaine the place Assuredly as it is advantageable to a physition to be called to the cure of a declining disease so it is for a commander to suppresse a sedition which hath passed the height for in both alike the noxious humor doth first weaken and afterwards wast and weare to nothing and besides it is scarce possible that a rude and ruinous multitude should continue long together if any pr●…uention be applied but they will fall into irrepairable wants and so it hapned to these seditious who after three daies finding their provision to faile fired their cabbines built of timber and couered with bushes and with a broken noise betweene certaine questions and doubtfull answeres dislodged from their hill and entrenched them at the foote thereof in a valley called Dussendale where they invited the Earle to a present encounter and as there hath seldome hapned any sedition within this realme but the chiefe actors therein haue beene abused with some prophecies of doubtfull construction so the seditious were moued to remoue to this place vpon a prophecy much credited among them that they should fill it with slaughtered bodies but whether of their

russianlike falling into yeares apt to take offence either only caused or much furthered his condemnation For besides his naturall fiercenesse enslamed by his present disgrace he was the more free by reason of his great seruices in the field The time hath beene said he when I was of some esteeme but now we are in peace which reputeth the coward and couragious alike and so with an obstinate resolution he made choice rather not to regard death then by any submission to entreat for life indeed it was wellknowne that he had beene famous for seruice but therewith it was well knowen by whose fauour he had beene famous S Thomas Arundell was with some difficulty condemned for his cause was brought to triall about seauen of the clocke in the morning about noone the Iurors went together and because they could not agree they were shut in a house all the residue of that day and all the night following the next morning they found him guilty vnhappy man who found the doing of any thing or of nothing dangerous alike S r Miles Partridge and S r Michaell Stanhope were condemned as consociates in the conspiracy of Somerset Both reputed indifferently disposed to bad or good yet neither of them of that temper as to dare any dangerous fact either because they were so indeed or because their fauour or alliance with the dutchesse of Somerset made them to be of lesse esteeme Garter K. at armes was sent to the Lord Paget prisoner in the tower to take from him the garter and the George and to discharge him of that order The pretence of this dishonour was because he was said to be no gentleman of blood neither by Father nor by Mother The Garter and the George were Forthwith bestowed vpon the Earle of Warwicke eldest sonne to the Duke of Northumberland about this time the order was almost wholly altered as by the statutes thereof then made it appeares After these times few matters of high nature or obseruable note happened in England during King Edwards life Of these I will select such as I esteeme most fit for history both as being publique and as contained matter of some regard not alwaies obseruing the iust order of time but sometime coherence or propinquity of matter S r Philip Hobby was sent to pay 62000 pounds at Antwerp for paiment of which summe the King stood to diuers persons engaged This done he went to the Regent then lying at Brussels to declare vnto her certaine grieuances of the English merchants aduentures but he receiued nothing but faire promises which proued deceiuable Afterwards Mounsier de Couriers came from the Regent to the King to vnderstand more particularly the complaints of the Merchants and therewith to desire that her subiects ships might safely take harbour in any of the Kings hauens For the first a note of the merchants complaints was deliuered in writing but answere was deferred for want of instructions an vsuall pretence in like affaires Touching the second answere was made that the King had giuen order that Flemmish shipps should not be molested in any of his hauens which appeared in that they were there alwaies rescued from the pursuit and chase of the French But hee thought it not fit that more should enter his hauens at once then he had power to gouerne Assuredly the Merchant aduenturers haue beene often wronged and wringed to the quicke but were neuer quicke and liuely in thankes to those by whose endeauours they were freed The same merchants exhibited a bill at the counsaile table against the Merchants of the Stilliard After answere by those of the Stilliard and reply by the aduenturers it was conceiued vpon view of diuers Charters that the Merchants of the Stilliard were no sufficient corporation and that their number names and nation could not be knowen Also that when they had forfeited their liberties King Edward the fourth restored them vpon condition that they should couer no strangers goods which they had not obserued And againe whereas at the beginning they shipped not aboue 80 cloathes after that 100 afterwards 1000 after that 6000 at that time 44000 cloathes were shipped euery yeare in their names and not aboue 1100 by all strangers besides wherefore albeit certaine Embassadors from Hamborough Lubeck spake much in their behalfe yet a decree was made that they had forfeited their liberties were in the same condition with other strangers And albeit they made great moanes afterwards yet could they not procure this sentence to be reuersed A commission was granted to viii Bishops viii other Diuines viii Ciuilians and viii common Lawyers and in all xxxii to set forth ecclesiasticall lawes agreeable to the nature both of the people and of the religion then established in the Church of England but it tooke no effect For neither the number of the commissioners being many nor the quality of them being persons both in great offices and diuers farre remote could afford meetings for so great a businesse Also the difference both of porsessions of ends did of necessity raise much difference in iudgment The King had sixe Chaplaines in Ordinary touching whose attendance in court an order was made that two should remaine with the King by turnes and fower should trauaile in preaching abroad The first yeare two in Wales and two in Lincolneshire the next yeare two in the Marshes of Scotland and two in Yorkeshire The third yeare two in Deuonshire two in Hampshire The fourth yeare two in Northfolke and Essex and two in Kent Sussex so throw all the shires in England which happily did not only serue for a spirituall end namely instruction in religion but did also aduance a temporall purpose of peaceable obedience For as rude vntrained mindes are not only easily drawen but inclineable of themselues to sedition and tumult so by learning and religion men are especially both reduced and retained in ciuill quiet For better dispatch of businesse of diuers natures the body of the counsaile was diuided into seuerall commissions Some were appointed for hearing those suits which were vsually brought before the whole table to send matters of iustice to their proper courts to giue full deniall to such as they should not esteeme reasonable to certify what they thought meet to be granted and vpon allowance thereof to dispatch the parties Others were appointed to consider of penall lawes and proclamations in force and to quicken the execution of the most principall These were directed first to consider what principall lawes 〈◊〉 proclamations were most needfull to be executed The●… to enquire into the countries how they were disobeyed and first to punish greatest offendors and afterwards to proceede to the rest Lastly that they should enquire what other disorders were either dangerous or offensiue in euery shire and either to punish the offendors or else to report their iudgement therein Others were appointed to attend occurrences of state at large with whom the King did sit once euery weeke to
