made a definition But yet the Lady Anglia toke me by the sleeue And sayde Holme I haue more inquisition Of a latter commotion which greatly doth me gréeue Doone by sir Frauncis Bigot which maketh my heart fremeske For he was reconed one of the veritie perculent And what a shame was it contrarie to flameske And to forsake the truth such wrongfull things petent According to the prouerb and it please your grace quod I The Dog is reuersed vnto his vomit againe And the Sowe cleane washed in hir puddle wil she lye What nowe quod Anglia I see thou dost but fayne For shewedst thou not me who as beleeue plaine Had the holy Ghostes gyft to keepe them to saluation That saying quod I I will not once refrayne If it please your grace to heare with good deliberation It followeth not the gyft should kéepe alway from sinne For the olde Adam wil rebel and the Deuil is inuidious The flesh with the spirite to repugne he will begin That is the il spirit with the good is euermore contrarious To make thornes to growe to let the corne fructious Howbeit the holy Ghost to them which be elect At the last will subdue the olde Sathan viscous And kepe to saluation this is the true effect And I doubt not

Anglia no more but now of this defyne And shewe me how he roâ—e and the insurrection Forsooth Madame quod I I will the same combine And it please you giue audience vnto his yl suggestion Truth it is after the commons had their pardon The king sent Aske and diuers moe than he And lyke a condigne Prince to their costage and guerdon Some had twentie pound some sortie some more verily But Bigot this perceyued with all his affinitie And thought the king wold stay the mater by his prudeÌ„ce And or euer they came home by their peruicacie They purposed by craft to take Hull for defence So Monkes Friers and Chanons and Eigot altogether With many moe of counsell they sent for to espye Hull One Halame a yeoman but when he came thether Knowles had an inkling of his comming at the full Which manfully tooke him and there brake his skull And rypping him found letters of a great pauitude Which purposed playne clearly to disanull The Kings purpose before by their high gratitude But when Bigot heard that Halame was in captiuitie He burned vp a Bekyn and raysed nygh twentie score And sente fourth diuers letters to collect more companie Himselfe toward Hull drawing euer more and more And sent to them thither Halame to restore Craftely colouring that was his whole pretence But by that Aske came home the Captaine before Which wrote him a letter to leaue his frowardnesse When Bigot perceyued this letter described Not only by Aske but by moe of habilitie Of his counsell before then shortly he contriued To deuise in his heart this craftie subtiltie To call the Burgeses of Beuerley to him openly Beseeching them record he did not pretend The kings grace ne his counsell any ignobilitie But Halame to obtaine an yl déed to amend And of this stale away sodenly from his host With a knauish Fryer or a Paliard or twaine After that diuers Gentlemen being of the coaste Toke of them whoÌ„ they thought most busiest for certaine By deede obligatorie bynding eche for other playne To appeare at

coniecture another tyme was better Surseased of their purpose and naughtie enterprise For openly they knewe by many sundry letter The Duke of Norfolk would come this nugous thing they herd And thought theÌ„ more ample their purpose to obtain For they perceyued he would amongst them long retard Therefore they regarded not their fact for to refrayne But marke the prouision which God dyd prouide For the king commaunded Iustices at Hull for to sitte To inquire and to sée what fault might be espide And there by the countrey was determined euery whit Among them selues they could it not remyt But condemned Halame with other two so thée Thus hanged were they thrée for the fault they dyd coÌ„mit As Haman in the stéede of Mardocheus verily Soone afterward the Duke to their newes according Came downe by commaundement Iustice to redresse By the waye diuers of Bigots counsell méeting Commaunded by the king to apeare for their businesse But procéede dyd the Duke more wrongs to oppresse And kéept at Yorke a Oyer Determiner Where by due executioÌ„ were hanged for their frowardnes Ten of pertinacitie of Bigots partie cleare At that tyme present in a chappell in Cumberland Bigot was taken and had to Carlyle Castle Then by Priestes inticements rose the coÌ„mons of Westmerland With Cumberland associate purposing to expel Bigot from the Castle but then the citie Carlyle According to aligiaunce their malice did floxipend Estéeming them as traitours so falsly to rebell And them perturbed manfully their citie to defend The Duke then intending more iustice to execute In diuers other places this Insurrection hering Gathered a great number these traitours to confute For Rychmondshire Kendal came at a short monishing And there was of Yorkeshire in his trayne following Diuers gentlemen furnished to this battaile vigorous But at Barney Castle when they were there gathering â–ª The Commons had a brawle to them ignominious For at Carlile they lost with shooting at the Citie Al their arrowes their artillerie most principall And then fled away from their villanous enormytie This perceyued by the citie and gentlemen patrimoniall They came forth with Speares v. C. substantiall Well horsed in aray following in a chace By whome they lost their Crosse their standard principal And had thrée hundreth taken within a little space The other fled awaye as Shéepe with Wolues chased Some oppressed some spoyled some with lamentation Thus sixe thousand by fiue hundred were vtterly defaced Latrant like Dogs for their abomination But after these newes and this expiation The Duke of Norfolk as a Prince not in hebitude Came swiftly to Carlyle to do ministration Of iustice for their faultes to their great penitude For there was hanged vppon their heades capitall Thrée score and sixteene vnto their friendes puderous On trees in their Gardens to record for memoriall Thus héere was the end of this acte periculous But then began Tyndale like traitours contencious To ryot vp with Rydsedal as they would make a brawle The Duke héering this as
