AN
HISTOIRCAL
NARRATION
of
that
Memorable
Parliament
,
begun
at
Westminster
,
1386
,
in
the
tenth
year
of
the
Reigne
of
King
RICHARD
the
Second
.
THis
present
occasion
so
opportunely
be
fitting
me
,
I
am
resolved
to
treat
of
that
which
hath
beene
omitted
,
and
slipped
out
of
memory
long
since
,
concerning
divers
and
sundry
changes
and
alterations
in
England
,
in
former
times
:
Nor
will
it
be
any
way
burthensome
to
write
of
that
,
whereby
every
good
and
carefull
Reader
may
learne
to
avoid
diversities
of
miseries
,
and
the
danger
and
feare
of
cruell
death
.
I
will
therefore
speake
of
that
which
hath
laine
hid
in
the
darksome
shade
of
forgetfulnesse
,
concerning
men
who
have
been
led
away
by
the
deceitfull
path
of
Covetousnesse
,
and
have
come
to
a
most
shamefull
and
ignominious
death
:
a
famous
example
,
to
deter
all
men
from
practising
those
or
the
like
courses
.
ABout
the
yeere
of
Christ
,
1386
,
at
such
time
as
Richard
,
the
second
of
that
name
,
then
in
prime
of
his
youth
,
swayed
the
Imperiall
Scepter
of
our
Realme
,
there
flourished
famous
in
his
Court
certain
Peeres
,
though
some
of
them
not
of
any
honourable
descent
,
yet
favoured
by
fortune
;
by
name
,
Alexander
Nevill
,
Archbishop
of
Yorke
;
Robert
Vere
,
D.
of
Ireland
;
Michael
de
la
Pool
,
Earle
of
Suffolk
,
then
Lord
Chancelor
;
Robert
Tresilian
,
Lord
Chiefe
Justice
of
England
;
and
Nicholas
Brambre
,
sometimes
Major
of
London
.
These
men
being
raised
from
meane
estates
by
the
speciall
favour
of
the
King
,
and
advanced
to
the
degree
of
Privie
Counsellors
,
were
the
men
who
had
the
onely
rule
of
the
Common-wealth
which
they
,
under
the
King
,
governed
for
some
small
space
with
careful
diligence
,
meriting
thereby
deserved
commendations
.
But
not
long
did
they
thus
steere
the
Ship
of
the
Kingdome
;
for
many
of
them
being
of
inferiour
ranke
by
birth
,
not
having
their
veines
dignified
with
the
streams
of
noble
blood
,
they
were
the
sooner
enticed
with
the
libidinous
baits
of
voluptuousnesse
,
and
infected
with
insatiable
itch
of
avarice
:
insomuch
,
that
despising
the
authority
of
the
King
,
and
neglecting
the
commoditie
of
the
Realme
,
but
onely
desiring
to
keepe
up
the
Revenues
of
the
Kingdome
,
so
wrought
,
that
by
their
policie
the
King
is
impoverished
,
the
Treasure
exhausted
;
the
Commons
murmure
at
the
multiplicity
of
Tenths
,
Levies
,
and
Subsidies
;
the
Peeres
repine
to
see
themselves
disgraced
,
and
their
inferiors
honoured
;
and
in
a
word
,
the
whole
Kingdome
endures
an
universall
miserie
.
The
nobility
seeing
the
miserable
estate
wherein
the
Kingdome
lay
,
bleeding
as
it
were
to
death
,
urged
their
King
to
summon
a
Parliament
;
which
was
done
shortly
after
.
In
which
amongst
many
other
acts
,
the
afore-named
Michaell
de
la
Poole
is
dismist
of
his
Chancelourship
;
and
being
accused
of
divers
and
many
points
of
injustice
,
as
briberie
,
Extortion
and
the
like
,
he
was
sone
after
cast
into
the
Castle
of
Windsor
,
and
all
his
Lands
,
which
were
of
no
small
Revenue
,
were
confiscated
to
the
King
.
Neither
did
the
Parliament
here
give
over
,
but
provided
further
for
the
whole
state
;
by
the
mutuall
consent
of
the
King
and
Prelates
,
Barons
,
and
Commons
,
with
an
unanimous
conjunction
,
they
constitute
and
give
plenarie
and
absolute
power
to
certain
Commissioners
,
as
well
of
the
Spiritualty
as
of
the
Temporalty
;
for
the
ordering
and
disposing
of
the
publique
affaires
,
according
as
shall
seeme
best
and
most
necessary
for
the
desperate
estate
of
the
Commonwealth
to
depresse
civill
dissentions
,
and
to
pacifie
and
appease
the
grudgings
of
the
people
.
Of
the
Spiritualty
,
were
chosen
the
Arch
Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
the
afore-named
Bishop
of
Yorke
,
the
Bishop
of
Ely
,
lately
made
Chancelor
of
England
,
the
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
Bishop
of
Hereford
,
Lord
Treasurer
;
Bishop
of
Exeter
,
Abbot
of
Waleham
,
and
the
Lord
John
of
Waltham
.
Of
the
Layty
were
elected
the
Duke
of
Yorke
,
the
Earle
of
Arundel
,
the
Lord
Coltham
,
the
Lord
scroope
,
and
John
Devoureux
Knight
:
these
,
as
men
eminent
in
vertue
,
were
chosen
by
the
generall
Suffrage
,
and
sworne
to
carry
themselves
as
dutifull
and
obedient
subjects
in
all
their
actions
.
And
it
was
further
enacted
,
That
if
any
should
refuse
or
disobey
the
Ordinances
so
made
for
publique
good
,
the
punishment
of
his
first
offence
,
should
be
the
confiscation
of
his
goods
;
and
for
the
second
,
the
losse
of
life
.
Thus
disposing
all
things
for
the
best
,
the
Parliament
being
dissolved
,
every
man
returned
to
his
own
house
.
Soone
after
,
the
afore-named
Chancelor
,
with
others
of
their
Confederates
,
being
moved
with
implacable
fury
against
the
Statute
of
the
late
Parliament
,
they
buzzed
into
the
Kings
eares
,
That
the
Statutes
lately
enacted
,
were
very
prejudiciall
to
the
honour
of
his
Crowne
,
and
much
derogatory
to
his
Princely
Prerogative
:
insomuch
,
that
he
should
not
have
power
,
without
the
consent
of
the
new
appointed
Commissioners
,
to
doe
any
thing
befitting
a
King
,
no
,
not
so
much
as
to
bestow
a
Largesse
;
a
principal
means
to
gain
the
peoples
love
upon
any
,
though
never
so
well
deserving
.
By
these
and
other
the
like
impious
instigations
,
with
which
the
Devil
(
as
never
unmindfull
of
the
end
of
those
,
who
by
their
lives
doe
prove
themselves
)
did
continually
supply
them
,
they
practised
to
annihilate
and
disanull
these
Acts
of
the
Parliament
,
which
seemed
any
wayes
to
abbreviate
or
curbe
their
usurped
authority
.
And
first
,
by
their
serpentine
tongues
,
ambitious
projects
,
flattery
painted
out
with
glosing
discourses
,
and
covered
over
with
the
shadow
of
vigilancie
for
the
good
of
the
Kingdome
,
they
so
bewitched
the
Noble
inclination
of
the
youthfull
King
,
whom
they
induced
to
beleeve
,
that
all
the
ill
they
did
was
a
generall
good
;
that
hee
began
to
distaste
,
and
at
last
to
abhorre
the
last
passed
Acts
,
as
treacherous
Plots
and
most
wicked
Devices
.
Next
,
they
studied
how
to
ingrosse
all
or
the
most
part
of
the
Wealth
and
Riches
of
the
Kingdome
into
their
owne
Coffers
;
and
to
the
same
end
,
dealt
so
cunningly
,
yet
pleasingly
,
with
the
King
,
that
hee
gave
to
the
D.
of
Ireland
,
John
of
Bloys
,
the
Heire
of
the
Duchie
of
Britaine
,
and
his
Ransome
;
to
others
,
Townes
;
to
others
,
Cities
;
to
others
,
Lands
;
to
others
,
Mony
,
amounting
to
the
summe
of
100000
Marks
,
to
the
great
impoverishment
both
of
King
and
Kingdome
:
Neither
did
these
King-eaters
and
Realme-devourers
any
thing
regard
it
,
but
setting
unskilfull
and
insufficient
Captaines
and
Governours
over
Townes
and
Forts
so
obtained
,
gave
occasion
to
the
Enemies
of
the
Crowne
to
surprize
them
,
and
dispossesse
the
King
of
them
.
Thirdly
,
vilifying
the
dignity
of
the
King
,
contrary
to
their
allegeance
,
they
drew
the
King
to
sweare
,
That
with
all
his
power
,
during
his
life
,
he
should
maintaine
and
defend
them
from
all
their
Enemies
,
whether
foraine
or
domestick
.
Fourthly
,
whereas
it
was
enacted
by
the
last
Parliament
,
That
the
King
at
certaine
seasonable
times
,
and
when
his
leysure
would
permit
him
,
should
sit
at
Westminster
,
with
his
Councell
there
,
to
consult
of
the
publique
Affaires
;
through
the
perswasions
of
the
aforesaid
Conspirators
,
hee
was
drawne
into
the
most
remotest
parts
of
the
Realme
,
to
the
great
disparagement
of
the
fidelity
of
those
Honourable
,
grave
,
and
faithfull
Peeres
,
late
made
joynt
Commissioners
,
in
whose
hands
the
whole
safety
and
prosperity
of
the
Common-wealth
did
reside
.
And
when
as
the
Lord
Chancellor
,
the
Lord
Treasurer
,
Keeper
of
the
Privie
Seale
,
or
any
other
of
the
Privie
Councell
,
came
to
relate
any
of
their
owne
actions
,
or
the
state
of
the
Realme
,
they
could
not
be
granted
accesse
,
unlesse
they
related
the
businesse
in
the
presence
and
hearing
of
the
Conspirators
,
who
were
alwayes
ready
to
upbraid
them
if
they
uttered
any
thing
that
displeased
them
,
and
to
commend
them
for
any
thing
(
though
most
nefarious
)
that
did
content
them
,
for
thus
could
they
the
sooner
learne
and
dive
into
the
acts
of
the
Commissioners
,
and
the
better
finde
evasions
for
their
accusations
:
Furthermore
,
when
as
the
King
in
company
of
the
Conspirators
went
in
progresse
towards
the
parts
of
Cheshire
,
Wales
,
and
Lancashire
,
they
made
Proclamation
in
the
Kings
Name
throughout
the
Shires
as
they
journyed
,
That
all
Barons
,
Knights
,
Esquires
,
with
the
greatest
part
of
the
Commonalty
able
to
beare
Armes
,
should
speedily
repaire
to
the
King
for
his
defence
against
the
power
of
the
Commissioners
,
chiefly
of
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
and
the
Earle
of
Arundell
,
because
they
above
the
rest
,
did
with
their
chiefest
endevours
,
study
to
suppresse
and
quell
the
devices
of
the
Conspirators
.
Fifthly
,
contrary
to
the
aforesaid
Acts
,
they
caused
the
D.
of
Ireland
to
bee
created
Chiefe
Justice
of
Chester
,
thereby
selling
Justice
as
they
listed
,
condemning
the
guiltlesse
,
and
remitting
the
guilty
,
never
respecting
or
looking
unto
the
equall
ballance
of
Justice
,
but
poyzing
downe
the
Scales
with
heaps
of
Bribery
.
Sixthly
,
by
the
procurement
of
the
Confederates
,
they
caused
certaine
honest
persons
,
who
would
not
consent
to
their
extortions
,
to
be
called
and
summoned
to
their
Court
,
and
there
to
answer
to
certaine
false
accusations
,
wherewith
they
were
unjustly
charged
by
perjured
hirelings
;
of
which
men
so
accused
,
some
were
put
to
death
,
some
cast
into
prison
,
all
were
vexed
and
troubled
with
delayes
,
length
of
their
iourney
to
and
fro
,
and
excessive
charges
;
neither
were
they
eased
of
any
of
these
burthens
,
unlesse
they
would
part
with
round
summes
of
money
to
the
D.
and
his
Complices
.
Seventhly
,
they
gave
pardons
under
the
broad
Scale
,
to
Felons
,
Murtherers
,
and
such
like
,
only
with
this
condition
,
that
they
should
murther
any
whomsoever
they
thought
did
mislike
their
Exaction
.
Eightly
,
they
taught
the
Country
of
Ireland
to
looke
to
its
pristine
estate
,
I
meane
,
of
having
a
King
;
for
they
plotted
to
have
the
Duke
created
King
of
Ireland
:
and
for
the
confirmation
of
which
their
designed
,
they
allured
the
King
to
send
his
Letters
to
the
Pope
.
Ninthly
,
the
aforesaid
Nicholas
Brambre
,
in
the
time
of
his
Maioraltie
,
caused
two
and
twenty
to
be
falsly
accused
of
Felonies
,
and
layd
into
Newgate
,
under
pretext
and
colour
of
divers
Crimes
,
and
in
the
silent
and
dead
time
of
the
night
to
be
fast
bound
,
and
by
a
strong
hand
to
be
carried
into
Kent
,
to
a
place
commonly
called
Fawlocks
,
and
then
to
have
their
heads
struck
off
,
except
one
,
who
being
favoured
by
the
murtherers
,
safely
escaped
;
the
bloud
of
the
rest
dyed
the
streames
of
a
small
Rivelet
adjoyning
.
Tenthly
,
soone
after
,
to
adde
one
mischiefe
to
another
,
they
sent
Letters
under
the
Kings
Signet
,
to
the
Maior
of
London
,
by
John
Rippon
Clerke
,
with
a
certaine
Libell
or
Schedule
inclosed
in
the
said
Letters
,
the
tenor
of
which
is
as
followeth
.
That
the
afore-named
three
Cōmissioners
,
viz.
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
the
Earles
of
Arundel
and
Warwick
,
and
other
of
the
Councell
,
were
to
be
arrested
,
indicted
,
condemned
,
&
put
to
lamentable
death
,
as
being
such
as
had
conspired
against
the
King
,
against
his
Prerogative
,
and
against
his
Crowne
and
Imperiall
Dignity
;
and
to
this
,
they
did
in
a
manner
constrain
the
King
to
assent
unto
.
Upon
receit
of
these
Letters
,
the
Major
and
Aldermen
of
the
City
of
London
,
called
a
Common
Councell
,
wherein
they
consulted
what
course
were
best
to
be
taken
in
this
matter
;
and
after
long
debate
pro
&
con
,
it
was
on
all
sides
agreed
,
to
deny
and
not
to
suffer
that
cruell
and
unheard
of
Tragicall
Complot
to
be
executed
.
It
ever
happeneth
one
wicked
Act
drawes
on
a
second
,
and
that
second
a
third
,
and
so
forwards
,
till
the
weight
cracks
the
Supporter
.
Therefore
the
said
Conspiratours
being
blinded
with
rashnesse
,
principally
sent
Letters
by
John
Godfrey
knight
to
the
King
of
France
,
the
Kings
adversary
,
to
conclude
a
five
yeares
Truce
,
should
come
over
to
Callis
,
and
from
thence
should
send
for
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
the
Earles
of
Arundel
and
Warwick
,
and
for
some
other
of
the
Commissioners
,
as
though
the
King
were
unwilling
to
determine
of
any
thing
without
their
advice
;
and
being
thus
circumvented
,
should
be
condemned
as
Traitors
,
and
so
put
to
an
ignominious
and
cruell
death
.
And
for
the
doing
and
performing
of
these
things
,
the
King
of
France
was
to
recover
all
the
Castles
,
Townes
,
and
Lands
lying
in
these
Countreys
,
and
belonging
to
the
King
of
England
:
To
prove
these
things
to
be
true
,
there
were
certaine
Writings
produced
by
the
Commissioners
,
wherein
were
contained
Letters
from
the
King
of
France
to
the
King
of
England
,
and
from
the
Conspirators
in
the
King
of
Englands
Name
,
to
the
King
of
France
.
Moreover
,
there
were
other
Letters
intercepted
directed
to
the
said
King
of
France
;
the
substance
whereof
,
was
to
incite
the
King
of
France
to
levie
a
puissant
power
both
horse
and
foot
,
and
to
draw
them
down
to
Bulloigne
,
and
thence
to
transport
them
into
England
,
against
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
the
Earls
of
Arundel
and
Warwick
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Commissioners
,
and
all
those
that
did
either
countenance
or
favour
the
said
Statute
and
Commissioners
;
which
as
they
falsly
alleaged
,
was
made
in
derogation
of
the
Kings
Prerogative
,
and
the
aforesaid
Commissioners
to
vanquish
,
oppresse
,
and
put
to
death
,
and
consequently
,
the
whole
Nation
and
Language
utterly
to
ruine
.
Not
here
concluding
their
devillish
Conspiracy
,
the
five
aforesaid
Conspiratours
departed
from
Westminster
to
the
Castle
of
Nottingham
,
and
sent
a
writ
for
Robert
Beale
,
Lord
chiefe
Justice
of
the
Common
Pleas
,
John
Holt
,
Roger
Fulthorp
,
and
William
Burleigh
,
Judges
of
the
said
court
,
and
for
John
Locton
,
the
Kings
Sergeant
at
Law
:
who
being
come
into
the
Councel
Chamber
,
not
knowing
what
they
were
sent
for
,
the
aforesaid
Conspirators
caused
the
Gates
and
Doores
of
the
Castle
to
be
shut
,
and
then
propounded
these
Questions
following
unto
them
.
First
Whether
those
Statutes
,
Ordinances
,
and
Commission
made
in
the
late
Parliament
at
Westminster
,
were
derogatory
to
the
Kings
Dignity
and
Kingly
prerogative
;
and
because
they
were
to
be
punished
who
did
procure
those
Constitutions
,
and
did
incite
and
move
the
King
to
consent
unto
them
,
&
did
as
much
as
in
them
lay
to
hinder
the
King
from
exercising
his
Royall
Prerogative
.
To
these
and
other
the
like
questions
,
with
a
joynt
consent
they
answered
,
That
they
were
to
suffer
death
as
Traitors
,
or
else
to
endure
some
capitall
punishment
:
in
witnesse
of
which
assertion
,
being
terrified
with
the
fear
of
present
death
,
the
aforesaid
Judges
,
together
with
John
Carey
,
Lord
Chief
Baron
of
the
Exchequer
,
they
signed
and
sealed
a
certain
Writing
,
in
manner
of
a
protestation
,
in
presence
of
these
Witnesses
,
Alex.
Nevill
,
Archbishop
of
Yorke
,
Archbishop
Bangor
,
Robert
Duke
of
Ireland
,
Michael
Earle
of
Suffolk
,
John
Rippon
Clerk
,
and
John
Blake
Fruiterer
;
dated
the
19
of
September
,
Anno
Dom.
1387
,
in
the
11
yeere
of
the
Reigne
of
K.
Richard
the
Second
.
Then
were
they
compelled
to
sweare
,
that
they
should
keepe
the
passages
undiscovered
,
upon
pain
of
death
;
and
so
they
had
licence
to
depart
.
And
when
they
had
plotted
those
and
many
other
Devillish
Conspiracies
,
they
bound
themselves
by
an
Oath
,
to
try
all
wayes
and
use
all
means
,
as
far
forth
as
lay
in
their
power
,
to
disanull
and
utterly
abrogate
the
Acts
and
Statutes
of
the
last
Parliament
.
And
that
which
is
worse
,
they
caused
the
King
to
sweare
,
That
in
his
proper
person
with
his
whole
power
he
should
take
revenge
of
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
of
the
two
Earles
and
their
adherents
,
by
causing
them
to
be
put
to
death
.
The
carriage
of
all
which
Actions
may
more
easily
be
known
,
if
the
time
and
the
order
of
them
be
duly
considered
.
But
our
mercifull
and
ever-gracious
God
,
although
there
were
so
many
Plots
,
so
many
Conspiracies
,
so
many
Treasons
wrought
against
our
State
,
whereby
many
miseries
did
accrue
to
our
kingdome
;
yet
unwilling
to
take
revenge
,
or
to
punish
us
for
our
sinnes
,
but
rather
according
to
his
gracious
pitie
,
to
ease
us
of
our
burthenous
calamitie
;
inspired
into
the
hearts
of
the
aforesaid
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
the
Earles
of
Arundel
and
Warwick
,
the
spirit
of
valour
and
magnanimitie
:
who
seeing
the
heap
of
ils
that
daily
did
arise
by
the
practices
of
those
Conspirators
;
they
set
almost
in
every
part
of
the
kingdome
Intelligencers
,
who
should
apprehend
all
Messengers
,
and
intercept
all
Letters
of
the
kings
,
or
that
went
under
the
kings
Name
,
and
should
send
them
to
the
Commissioners
.
And
thus
did
they
come
to
have
intelligence
of
the
whole
plot
of
the
Conspirators
;
all
their
Letters
being
indorsed
with
Glory
be
to
God
on
high
,
on
Earth
peace
,
and
good
will
towards
men
:
and
by
comming
to
the
knowledge
of
each
circumstance
,
they
found
,
that
the
kingdome
was
at
the
point
of
destruction
;
according
to
that
Evangelicall
saying
,
Every
Kingdome
divided
against
it selfe
,
shall
be
dissolved
:
wherefore
they
sought
for
a
Remedy
;
for
by
the
Law
of
Nature
,
it
is
tolerable
to
repell
violence
by
violence
:
sithence
it
is
better
to
prevent
them
to
apply
a
Remedy
to
a
wound
,
every
man
according
to
his
ability
levied
a
power
for
the
preservation
of
the
king
and
kingdome
;
all
which
Forces
being
united
,
amounting
to
the
number
of
20000
fighting
men
,
and
couragiously
resolving
to
frustrate
all
the
intended
designes
of
the
Conspirators
,
&
to
open
the
Nut
by
cracking
the
Shell
;
they
divided
their
Army
,
committing
part
of
it
to
the
Earle
of
Arundel
:
who
by
night
marched
away
with
his
Forces
,
and
pitched
his
Tents
neere
to
London
,
there
fortifying
himself
in
the
Forrest
adjoyning
,
untill
such
time
as
hee
had
gained
more
convenient
time
and
greater
force
,
by
the
comming
of
his
Consorts
:
And
in
the
meane
time
he
used
such
discipline
in
his
Campe
,
that
he
lacked
nothing
,
but
all
things
were
there
sold
at
reasonable
rates
,
as
it
had
beene
at
a
Market
;
and
hardly
could
he
contain
the
common
people
for
joyning
with
him
,
for
the
overthrow
of
the
Conspirators
and
their
adherents
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Conspirators
intending
to
prevent
their
purposes
,
by
power
of
a
certaine
Spirituall
Commission
,
and
by
vertue
of
certaine
Letters
Patents
in
the
hands
of
the
Conspirators
,
though
nothing
to
the
purpose
;
yet
to
blind
the
people
,
they
caused
to
be
proclaimed
throughout
the
whole
Citie
of
London
,
That
none
upon
paine
of
the
forfeiture
of
all
their
Goods
,
should
neither
sell
,
give
,
or
communicate
privately
or
publiquely
Victuall
,
Armour
,
or
any
other
necessaries
to
the
Army
of
the
Earle
of
Arundel
,
but
should
debarre
them
of
sustentation
,
comfort
,
or
help
,
as
Rebels
to
the
King
and
Country
.
But
on
the
other
side
,
they
began
to
feare
when
they
were
denied
their
hoped
for
Aid
by
the
Major
and
Commonalty
of
the
Citie
of
London
;
and
againe
,
they
were
troubled
at
the
rising
of
the
Commoners
,
to
invade
them
.
Wherefore
they
counselled
the
King
to
absent
himselfe
from
the
Parliament
(
which
was
to
begin
at
Candlemas
next
,
according
as
the
King
and
Commissioners
had
appointed
it
)
and
not
consult
of
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdom
,
nor
of
his
own
Estate
,
commodity
or
discommodity
,
unlesse
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
the
two
Earles
of
Arundel
and
Warwick
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Commissioners
,
would
sweare
,
That
neither
they
,
nor
any
in
their
name
,
should
accuse
them
or
urge
any
accusation
against
them
.
And
they
caused
it
to
be
proclaimed
through
the
City
of
London
,
That
none
under
pain
of
confiscation
of
all
their
goods
,
should
speake
any
upbraiding
speeches
concerning
the
King
or
the
Conspiratours
;
which
was
a
thing
impossible
to
hinder
.
Not
long
after
it
hapned
,
that
the
King
,
with
the
aforesaid
five
Conspiratours
,
came
from
his
Mannor
of
Sheeve
to
Westminster
,
to
Saint
Edmonds
Tombe
,
for
the
solemnizing
of
a
Pilgrimage
.
The
Maior
and
Aldermen
of
the
Citie
of
London
met
him
on
horsebacke
sumptuously
attyred
,
honouring
him
very
much
.
And
when
they
came
to
the
Mews
,
they
descended
from
their
Horses
,
and
went
bare-foot
to
the
Tombe
of
Saint
Edmond
;
whereas
the
Chaplain
of
the
Commissioners
,
with
the
Abbot
and
Covent
,
met
them
with
a
stately
Procession
.
In
the
meane
time
the
three
Noblemen
,
viz.
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
and
the
Earles
of
Arundel
and
Warwick
having
mustered
their
troups
on
the
foureteenth
of
November
,
in
the
same
yeare
,
at
Waltham
Crosse
,
in
the
County
of
Hertford
,
and
from
thence
sent
for
the
Commissioners
that
were
there
at
Westminster
in
Parliament
with
the
King
,
sending
an
Accusation
in
writing
to
the
King
against
the
aforesaid
Conspirators
,
viz.
the
Archbishop
of
Yorke
,
Duke
of
Ireland
,
Earle
of
Suffolke
,
Robert
Tresilian
,
and
Nicholas
Brembre
;
wherein
they
accused
them
of
high
Treason
:
Which
their
Appellation
they
did
offer
to
maintaine
,
and
that
they
were
willing
to
prosecute
the
same
;
and
to
prove
it
to
be
true
,
they
caused
also
the
rest
of
the
Commissioners
to
subscribe
,
as
parties
to
their
Appellation
.
When
these
things
came
to
the
eares
of
the
King
,
he
sent
unto
them
,
requiring
to
know
what
their
request
was
,
and
what
they
wished
to
have
beene
done
:
They
returned
answer
thus
;
That
they
did
desire
,
that
the
Traytors
which
were
alwayes
about
him
,
filling
his
eares
with
false
reports
,
and
did
dayly
commit
insufferable
Crimes
and
Injuries
,
might
be
rewarded
with
condigne
punishment
;
for
it
were
better
that
some
few
should
dye
for
the
people
,
then
the
whole
Nation
should
perish
.
And
they
likewise
craved
,
that
they
might
have
safe
liberty
of
going
and
comming
to
his
Grace
.
When
the
King
heard
their
Request
,
hee
gave
them
his
Royall
consent
,
and
commanded
them
to
appeare
at
Westminster
;
and
the
King
sitting
on
his
Throne
in
the
great
Hall
,
the
three
aforesaid
Peeres
Appellants
,
with
a
gallant
Troup
of
Gentlemen
entred
,
and
making
three
lowly
obeysances
on
their
bended
knees
,
they
reverenced
the
King
:
and
drawing
neere
(
the
cause
of
their
comming
being
alledged
)
they
there
againe
appealed
the
Archbishop
,
Duke
of
Ireland
,
Earle
Treasurer
,
and
Brambre
of
high
Treason
,
according
as
they
had
done
before
at
Waltham
Crosse
;
but
they
betaked
themselves
to
the
private
corners
of
the
Palace
,
even
as
Adam
and
Eve
from
the
presence
of
God
,
not
having
the
heart
to
appeare
,
to
justifie
themselves
.
The
King
called
forth
the
Appellants
,
to
prove
and
prosecute
the
Appellation
,
prescribing
them
a
day
and
place
for
the
Tryall
,
which
was
to
be
on
the
morrow
after
Candlemas
day
;
and
in
the
meane
time
,
the
King
commanded
them
upon
their
Honours
,
not
any
party
to
molest
the
other
,
untill
the
next
Parliament
.
Those
things
thus
passed
,
were
publiquely
proclaimed
throughout
all
England
,
and
they
departed
joyfully
.
The
Duke
of
Ireland
,
under
the
guide
of
his
Grand
Captain
the
devil
,
marching
into
Cheshire
,
Lancashire
,
and
Wales
,
raised
a
new
power
,
amounting
to
the
number
of
6000
fighting
men
,
in
the
Kings
name
,
to
overthrow
and
confound
the
Appellants
;
from
thence
marched
towards
London
with
his
Armie
,
with
a
furious
intent
and
resolution
to
performe
his
bloudy
designe
.
But
God
beholding
their
foolish
hearts
,
filled
them
with
vain
hopes
,
that
they
should
accōplish
their
enterprises
.
And
whilest
these
Plots
were
laid
,
the
Appellants
being
suddenly
advertised
thereof
,
raised
a
power
,
and
joyning
with
them
the
Earle
of
Derby
,
and
the
Earle
of
Nottingham
,
and
other
Commissioners
,
marched
with
long
and
wearied
Marches
into
a
Field
neere
a
Village
called
Whitney
,
at
a
place
called
Locford
Bridge
:
In
which
Field
the
Duke
of
Ireland
was
with
the
Army
,
having
a
River
on
the
one
side
of
them
,
whereas
they
stood
ready
prepared
to
give
an
overthrow
to
the
Appellants
,
and
displaying
the
Kings
Standard
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
the
Land
:
But
although
they
were
so
valiant
at
the
beginning
,
yet
were
they
discouraged
at
the
end
;
for
when
they
saw
the
Army
of
the
Appellants
march
downe
from
the
Mountaines
like
a
Hive
of
Bees
,
and
with
such
a
violent
fury
,
feare
benummed
them
,
and
they
were
so
amazed
,
that
when
they
should
give
the
Assault
(
God
not
suffering
the
effusion
of
bloud
)
they
stood
like
a
Hive
of
Bees
,
or
a
flock
of
Cattell
without
a
head
,
making
no
shew
or
countenance
of
resisting
;
but
without
any
stroke
given
,
they
flung
downe
their
Armes
,
and
yielded
themselves
to
the
mercy
of
the
Appellants
;
and
a
few
being
slaine
,
and
some
drowned
in
the
River
,
gave
an
easie
Victory
to
the
Conquerors
.
The
Duke
of
Ireland
himselfe
putting
spurres
to
his
Horse
,
tooke
the
River
,
and
hardly
escaped
;
and
though
he
was
pursued
,
yet
hee
escaped
through
the
middest
of
the
Troupes
.
And
thus
by
the
mercy
of
God
they
obtained
the
glorious
Palme
of
Victory
from
the
Hand
of
Heaven
.
When
the
news
of
the
Victory
was
blowne
to
the
eares
of
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
,
who
went
then
stricken
with
feare
,
and
carefull
for
their
preservation
,
under
covert
of
the
night
they
fled
by
Water
to
the
Tower
,
drawing
the
king
along
with
them
.
On
the
other
side
,
Nicholas
Brambre
with
a
bold
and
resolute
courage
,
in
the
kings
Name
caused
all
the
Gates
of
the
City
to
be
shut
against
the
Appellants
,
and
to
be
guarded
with
an
able
and
sufficient
Watch
:
But
these
worthy
and
dauntlesse
Members
of
the
Common-wealth
marched
towards
London
,
to
conferre
with
the
king
;
but
when
they
heard
that
the
said
Nicholas
Brambre
had
caused
the
Gates
of
the
City
to
be
shut
against
them
,
and
to
be
strongly
guarded
,
and
that
the
whole
City
did
purpose
to
keepe
them
out
,
they
stayed
their
resolution
.
On
the
27
day
of
September
,
in
the
same
yeare
,
with
a
melodious
sound
of
divers
kinds
of
Instruments
,
as
well
of
Warre
as
of
Peace
,
they
encamped
themselves
in
Clarkenwell
,
within
the
Liberties
of
the
Citie
of
London
;
not
purposing
on
the
one
side
,
rashly
or
unadvisedly
to
enter
the
City
,
nor
on
the
other
side
,
to
make
any
shew
of
feare
;
but
with
a
stayed
minde
(
as
befitting
wise
men
)
with
good
deliberation
to
conclude
every
thing
in
its
due
time
.
And
when
as
the
Major
,
with
the
Citizens
,
came
unto
them
with
pleasing
words
,
promising
unto
them
all
that
the
City
could
afford
,
with
reason
and
equity
;
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
said
,
Now
I
know
,
that
Lyers
speakes
nothing
but
Lyes
,
neither
can
any
man
hinder
them
from
the
relating
:
Where
upon
,
by
a
joint
consent
,
in
the
Evening
they
removed
their
tents
,
and
pitched
them
before
divers
Gates
of
the
City
.
On
the
morrow
there
hapned
an
enterview
betweene
the
King
and
the
Appellants
,
so
farre
,
that
they
opened
their
minds
one
to
the
other
:
but
because
the
king
loathed
to
speak
with
them
,
with
such
a
rabble
of
men
,
and
in
regard
of
an
intolerable
boldnes
,
and
some
quarrell
,
which
was
like
to
arise
;
and
on
the
otherside
,
refusing
to
goe
out
of
the
Tower
to
speake
with
them
,
and
the
Apellants
fearing
some
violence
or
wrong
to
bee
offered
to
them
,
would
not
speake
with
the
King
without
a
strong
guard
of
valiant
Warriours
:
Therefore
the
most
wise
of
the
Appellants
,
after
divers
disputations
had
resolved
to
goe
and
conferre
with
the
King
:
but
first
they
sent
a
strong
troupe
well
armed
,
to
search
all
the
Corners
and
Caves
of
the
Tower
?
and
relation
being
made
of
the
safety
of
the
place
,
with
a
selected
band
of
valiant
Cavaliers
they
entred
the
Tower
,
and
seising
the
Gates
,
and
placing
a
guard
appeared
before
the
King
;
and
there
the
third
time
appealed
the
aforesaid
Conspirators
,
in
the
same
sort
and
forme
as
before
:
which
Appellation
being
ended
,
the
King
swore
,
That
he
would
adhere
to
their
connsell
,
as
a
good
King
and
a
just
Judg
so
farre
as
the
rule
of
Law
,
Reason
and
Equity
did
require
.
These
things
being
accomplished
,
they
departed
from
the
Tower
to
their
Tenements
and
Lodgings
:
And
then
it
was
published
and
made
known
in
the
presence
of
the
King
,
and
throughout
the
Dominions
,
That
on
the
morrow
after
Candlemas
day
the
aforesaid
Conspirators
should
personally
appeare
,
to
answer
to
the
Appellation
,
whereby
they
were
charged
of
so
many
Treasons
.
And
because
the
Harvest
was
now
ripe
,
&
time
convenient
to
cut
up
those
pestiferous
Cockles
and
Thistles
,
by
the
assent
of
the
King
,
&
consent
of
the
said
Commissioners
and
Appellants
,
they
expulsed
divers
of
the
Officers
of
the
Houshold
;
viz.
in
the
place
of
John
Beauchamp
,
Steward
of
the
Houshold
,
they
appointed
John
Devourex
,
Knight
,
one
of
the
Commissioners
;
Peter
Couriney
,
Knight
,
was
made
Chamberlaine
,
in
the
stead
of
Robert
Duke
of
Ireland
.
And
the
aforesaid
John
de
Beauchamp
,
Simon
de
Burleigh
,
Vice-Chamberlaine
,
John
Salisbury
,
Thomas
Trynett
,
James
Barats
,
William
Ellingham
,
and
Nicholas
Nagworth
,
Knights
;
and
Officers
of
the
Clergie
,
(
viz.
)
Richard
Metford
Secretary
,
John
Blake
Deane
of
the
Chappell
,
John
Lincolne
Chancelour
of
the
Exchequer
,
and
John
Clifford
Clerke
of
the
Chappell
were
kept
under
arrest
too
,
and
were
as
partakers
in
the
aforesaid
Treason
;
for
that
they
knowing
and
having
intelligence
of
the
said
Conspiracie
,
they
did
not
discover
them
.
Others
also
as
Servants
of
the
aforesaid
Conspirators
,
and
drawn
in
by
craft
,
yet
guiltless
,
were
dismissed
and
sent
away
as
men
unprofitable
,
and
good
for
no
use
.
And
thus
this
hideous
brood
of
Monsters
,
so
often
shaken
,
was
quite
overthrown
.
And
on
the
Vigil
of
the
Purification
of
Saint
Mary
,
in
the
Privie
Chamber
at
Westminster
,
by
joynt
consent
of
all
the
Cōmissioners
,
the
aforesaid
John
〈◊〉
John
Holt
,
Roger
Fulthorp
,
William
Burleigh
,
John
Locton
,
and
John
Carey
were
displaced
from
their
Offices
,
and
without
any
further
adoe
arrested
of
Treason
,
and
by
the
command
of
the
Chancelor
were
clapt
into
the
Tower
;
and
Roger
Carleton
in
the
place
of
Belknap
,
Walter
Clapton
in
the
place
of
Tressilian
,
were
constituted
:
and
so
for
that
time
they
departed
,
and
went
to
dinner
.
And
because
Shrovetide
was
thought
a
fit
time
to
punish
the
Delinquents
,
according
to
their
deserts
;
therefore
the
great
Parliament
began
the
second
of
February
following
,
in
this
manner
.
All
the
Peeres
,
as
well
of
the
Spiritualty
as
of
the
Temporalty
,
being
assembled
in
the
great
Hall
at
Westminster
,
the
King
soone
after
came
and
sate
down
in
his
Throne
;
and
after
him
appeared
the
five
Noblemen
Appellants
,
(
the
fame
of
whose
admired
worth
ecchoed
through
all
the
Land
)
entred
the
House
in
their
costly
Robes
,
leading
one
another
hand
in
hand
,
with
an
innumerable
company
following
them
;
and
beholding
where
the
King
sate
,
all
at
once
,
with
submissive
gestures
,
they
reverenced
the
King
.
The
Hall
was
so
full
of
Spectators
,
that
the
very
Roofes
were
filled
with
them
:
and
yet
amongst
this
infinite
multitude
of
the
people
,
there
could
not
be
found
any
of
the
Conspirators
,
or
of
their
Complices
;
but
Brambre
was
taken
a
little
before
,
and
cast
into
the
Gaole
of
Gloucester
.
The
Clergie
then
placing
themselves
on
the
right
hand
,
and
the
Nobility
on
the
left
hand
of
the
King
,
according
to
the
ancient
Custome
of
the
High
Court
of
Parliament
;
the
Lord
Chancelor
standing
with
his
back
towards
the
King
,
by
the
Kings
command
declared
the
cause
of
their
Summons
to
the
Parliament
:
Which
being
ended
,
the
five
foresaid
Appellants
arising
,
declared
their
Appellation
by
the
mouth
of
Robert
Pleasington
their
Speaker
,
who
thus
spake
:
Behold
,
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
comes
to
purge
himselfe
of
Treasons
which
are
laid
to
his
charge
by
the
Conspirators
.
To
whom
the
Lord
Chancelor
,
by
the
command
of
the
King
answered
:
My
Lord
Duke
,
the
King
conceiveth
so
honourably
of
you
,
that
hee
cannot
be
induced
to
beleeve
,
that
you
,
who
are
of
affinity
to
him
in
a
collaterall
Line
,
should
attempt
any
Treason
against
his
sacred
Majestie
.
The
Duke
,
with
his
foure
Companions
,
upon
their
knees
humbly
gave
thanks
to
the
King
,
for
his
gracious
opinion
of
their
fidelity
.
Then
after
silence
proclaymed
,
they
arose
,
and
delivered
in
certaine
Articles
in
Writing
,
wherein
were
contained
the
particularity
of
the
Treason
.
Which
said
Articles
were
read
by
Godfrey
Martin
▪
the
Clerk
of
the
Crowne
,
standing
in
the
midst
of
the
Parliament
House
,
by
the
space
of
two
houres
,
with
an
audible
voice
.
At
the
reading
of
which
,
there
was
a
wonderfull
alteration
in
the
House
:
For
,
whereas
before
the
people
were
glad
of
the
discovery
of
the
Treason
;
at
the
rehearsall
of
it
,
their
hearts
were
so
overcome
with
griefe
,
that
they
could
not
refrain
from
teares
.
When
the
Articles
were
read
,
the
Appellants
requested
the
King
,
that
sentence
of
condemnation
might
be
given
against
the
Conspirators
,
and
they
to
receive
the
guerdon
of
their
deserts
;
which
the
king
promised
to
grant
.
This
was
the
first
dayes
worke
.
The
second
was
ended
with
variation
of
divers
consultations
which
I
will
not
relate
in
particular
,
but
treat
of
the
whole
Parliament
in
generall
.
And
when
the
third
day
came
of
their
proceedings
against
the
conspirators
,
the
Lord
Chancelor
in
the
name
of
the
Clergie
,
in
open
Parliament
made
an
Oration
,
shewing
that
they
could
not
by
any
meanes
by
present
at
the
proceeding
,
whereas
there
is
any
censure
of
death
to
be
passed
.
For
the
confirmation
whereof
,
they
delivered
in
a
Protestation
;
which
being
read
,
they
spake
,
That
neither
in
respect
of
any
favour
,
nor
for
feare
of
any
mans
hate
,
nor
in
hope
of
any
reward
,
they
did
desire
to
absent
themselves
,
but
onely
,
that
they
were
bound
by
the
Canon
,
not
to
be
present
at
any
mans
Arraignment
or
condemnation
.
They
likewise
sent
their
Protestation
to
the
Chappell
of
the
Abbey
,
where
the
Commons
sate
;
which
was
allowed
of
.
And
then
,
when
the
Appellants
called
for
Justice
against
the
conspirators
,
the
Lords
of
the
Spiritualty
arose
,
and
went
into
the
Kings
chamber
neere
adjoyning
.
But
the
King
being
moved
in
conscience
,
and
in
charitie
,
perceiving
that
in
every
worke
they
are
to
remember
the
end
;
and
being
willing
(
contrary
to
the
rigour
of
the
Law
)
to
favour
rather
these
that
were
guilty
then
the
Actours
in
that
Treason
;
if
they
were
able
to
alledge
any
thing
in
their
defence
,
caused
the
Processe
to
cease
:
but
the
Peeres
(
being
earnest
)
requested
,
That
no
businesse
past
,
present
,
or
to
come
,
might
be
debated
,
untill
this
Treason
were
adjudged
;
to
which
Petition
,
the
king
graciously
granted
his
assent
.
On
the
11
day
of
February
,
when
nothing
could
be
alledged
,
nor
no
witnesse
produced
,
in
justification
of
the
conspiratours
,
but
that
the
definitive
Sentence
of
condemnation
must
be
pronounced
against
them
;
the
aforesaid
John
Devoreux
,
Marshall
of
the
Court
,
and
for
that
time
the
Kings
Lievtenant
,
adjudged
them
this
heavy
Doome
;
That
the
said
Archbishop
of
Yorke
,
Duke
of
Ireland
,
Earle
of
Suffolke
,
Tressilian
,
and
Brambre
,
should
be
drawn
from
the
Tower
to
Tyburne
,
and
there
to
be
hanged
upon
a
Gibbet
untill
they
were
dead
,
and
all
their
Lands
and
Goods
to
be
confiscated
,
that
none
of
their
posterity
might
be
by
them
any
way
enriched
.
On
the
12
day
of
February
,
which
was
the
first
day
of
Shrovetide
,
Nicholas
Brambre
appeared
in
Parliament
;
and
being
charged
with
the
aforesaid
Articles
of
Treason
,
hee
craved
favour
to
advise
of
Counsell
learned
,
and
some
longer
time
for
his
more
full
answer
to
his
Accusation
;
but
yet
hee
desired
a
thing
neither
usuall
,
nor
allowable
by
the
Law
,
and
required
a
thing
which
the
rigour
of
the
Law
,
in
case
of
that
nature
,
would
not
afford
.
But
the
Judges
charged
him
to
answer
severally
to
every
point
in
the
Articles
contained
:
Whereunto
Brambre
answered
,
Whosoever
hath
branded
me
with
this
ignominious
mark
,
with
him
I
am
ready
to
fight
in
the
Lists
,
to
maintaine
my
Innocencie
,
whensoever
the
King
shall
appoint
.
And
this
he
spake
with
such
a
fury
,
that
his
eyes
sparkled
with
rage
,
and
he
breathed
as
if
an
Aetna
had
lay
hid
in
his
brest
;
chusing
rather
to
die
gloriously
in
the
field
,
then
disgracefully
on
a
Gibbet
.
The
Appellants
hearing
this
couragious
Challenge
,
with
resolute
countenance
answered
,
That
they
would
willingly
accept
of
the
Combat
,
and
thereupon
flung
downe
their
Gages
before
the
King
;
and
on
a
suddaine
the
whole
company
of
Lords
,
Knights
,
Esquires
,
and
Commons
flung
down
their
Gages
so
thick
,
that
they
seemed
like
Snow
in
a
Winters
day
,
crying
out
,
Wee
also
will
accept
of
the
Combat
,
and
will
prove
these
Articles
to
be
true
to
thy
head
,
most
damnable
Traytor
,
and
so
they
departed
for
that
day
.
And
although
the
Appellants
were
not
idle
in
the
night
,
yet
on
the
next
day
,
to
aggravate
their
Appellation
against
the
Conspirators
,
there
came
divers
Companies
of
the
Citie
of
London
,
complaining
of
the
manifold
injuries
they
had
suffered
by
Brembre
,
and
other
Extortioners
and
Exactions
wherewith
they
had
been
dayly
charged
;
and
yet
they
protested
,
that
they
did
not
accuse
him
either
for
hate
to
his
person
,
or
for
love
,
feare
,
or
hope
of
reward
from
his
enemies
,
but
onely
they
charged
him
with
the
truth
.
But
before
they
proceed
with
his
tryall
,
they
were
stayed
by
most
unfortunate
Tressilian
,
who
being
got
upon
the
top
of
an
house
adjoyning
to
the
Palace
,
and
had
descended
into
a
gutter
onely
to
looke
about
him
,
he
was
discovered
by
certaine
of
the
Peeres
,
who
presently
sent
some
of
the
Guard
to
apprehend
him
,
who
entring
into
the
house
where
hee
was
,
and
having
spent
long
time
in
vaine
in
looking
for
him
,
at
length
one
of
the
Guard
stept
to
the
Master
of
the
house
,
and
taking
him
by
the
shoulder
with
his
Dagger
drawne
,
thus
said
,
Shew
us
where
thou
hast
hid
Tressilian
,
or
else
resolve
thy
dayes
are
accomplished
;
the
Master
trembled
,
ready
to
yeeld
up
the
ghost
,
for
feare
answered
,
Yonder
is
the
place
where
he
lyes
,
and
shewes
him
a
round
Table
covered
with
branches
of
Bay
,
under
which
Tressilian
lay
close
covered
;
when
they
had
found
him
they
drew
him
out
by
the
heeles
,
wondring
to
see
him
,
as
vipers
use
,
to
weare
his
head
and
beard
o'r-growne
,
with
old
clowted
shooes
,
and
patched
hose
,
more
like
a
miserable
poore
begger
,
then
a
Judge
.
When
this
came
to
the
eares
of
the
Peeres
,
the
five
Appellants
suddenly
arose
up
,
and
without
expressing
any
reason
,
departed
out
of
the
Parliament
House
,
which
bred
great
alteration
in
the
House
,
insomuch
that
many
followed
them
,
and
when
they
come
to
the
Gate
of
the
Hall
,
they
met
the
Guard
leading
of
Tressilian
bound
,
crying
,
as
they
came
,
We
have
him
,
we
have
him
.
Tressilian
being
come
into
the
Hall
,
was
asked
what
he
could
say
for
himselfe
,
why
judgement
should
not
passe
upon
him
for
his
treason
so
often
committed
,
hee
became
as
one
that
had
beene
struck
dumb
,
and
his
heart
was
as
it
were
hardned
to
the
very
last
,
and
would
not
confesse
himselfe
guilty
of
any
thing
:
And
for
this
cause
the
Parliament
arose
,
deferring
Brembres
triall
till
the
next
day
.
But
Tressilian
was
without
delay
led
to
the
Tower
,
that
he
might
suffer
the
execution
of
the
sentence
passed
against
him
,
his
wife
and
his
children
did
with
maine
teares
accompany
him
to
the
Tower
,
but
his
wife
was
so
overcome
with
dolour
and
griefe
,
that
she
fell
down
in
a
swound
as
if
she
had
beene
dead
.
Immediatly
Tressilian
is
upon
a
hurdle
,
and
drawne
thorow
the
streets
of
the
Citie
,
with
a
wonderfull
concourse
of
people
following
him
,
at
every
furlongs
end
he
was
suffered
to
stand
still
to
rest
himselfe
,
and
to
see
if
hee
would
confesse
and
report
himselfe
of
any
thing
,
but
what
he
said
to
the
Fryer
his
Confessor
is
not
knowne
,
neither
am
I
able
to
search
it
out
;
when
hee
came
to
the
place
of
execution
hee
would
not
climb
the
Ladder
,
untill
such
time
as
being
soundly
beaten
with
bats
and
staves
he
was
forced
to
goe
up
,
and
when
he
was
up
,
hee
said
,
So
long
as
I
doe
weare
any
thing
upon
me
I
shall
not
dye
,
wherefore
the
executioner
stripped
him
,
and
found
certaine
Images
painted
like
to
the
signes
of
Heaven
,
and
the
head
of
a
devill
painted
,
and
the
names
of
many
of
the
devills
wrote
in
Parchment
;
the
exorcising
toyes
being
taken
away
,
hee
was
hanged
up
naked
,
and
because
the
spectators
should
be
certainly
assured
that
he
was
dead
,
they
cut
his
throat
,
and
because
the
night
approached
,
they
let
him
hang
untill
the
next
morning
,
and
then
his
wife
having
obtained
a
licence
of
the
King
,
tooke
downe
his
body
,
and
carried
it
to
the
Grey-Fryers
,
where
it
was
buried
.
On
the
morrow
sentence
was
likewise
pronounced
against
Brembre
,
who
being
drawne
upon
a
hurdle
from
the
Tower
to
Tyborne
thorow
the
City
,
shewed
himselfe
very
penitent
,
humbly
craving
mercy
and
forgivenesse
at
the
hands
of
God
and
men
,
whom
he
had
so
grievously
offended
,
and
whom
he
had
so
injuriously
wronged
in
time
past
,
and
did
earnestly
desire
them
all
to
pray
for
him
;
when
the
rope
was
about
his
neck
ready
to
be
turned
off
,
a
certaine
young
man
,
the
sonne
of
one
Northampton
,
asked
him
if
hee
had
done
justice
to
his
Father
or
not
,
for
Northampton
was
sometimes
Maior
of
the
Citie
of
London
,
more
wealthy
and
more
substantiall
then
any
else
in
the
Citie
,
him
did
Brembre
and
Tresilian
accuse
of
Treason
&
Conspiracie
against
the
State
,
and
condemned
him
to
dye
,
being
dispoyled
of
his
estate
,
he
himselfe
at
length
hardly
escaped
,
to
whom
Brembre
answered
and
confessed
with
bitter
teares
,
that
what
hee
did
was
most
vile
and
wicked
,
and
with
an
intent
only
to
murther
and
overthrow
the
said
Northampton
,
for
which
craving
pardon
of
the
young
man
being
suddenly
turned
off
,
and
the
Executioner
cutting
his
throat
,
hee
dyed
.
Behold
how
pleasant
and
delightfull
it
is
to
climbe
up
to
honour
,
I
suppose
it
is
better
to
live
meanely
at
home
with
quietnesse
amongst
poore
men
,
then
to
lord
it
amongst
Princes
,
and
in
the
end
to
climb
a
ladder
amongst
Thieves
,
it
is
even
better
to
undergoe
the
burden
then
to
assume
the
name
of
honour
;
therefore
whosoever
that
doth
not
regard
the
Lawes
,
let
them
observe
and
consider
the
end
of
these
men
,
and
with
what
period
they
finished
their
days
.
These
men
being
dispatched
,
the
Parliament
discontinued
their
proceedings
against
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
till
a
more
convenient
time
;
and
tooke
into
their
considerations
other
more
weighty
affaires
of
the
weale
publike
,
they
made
the
Earle
of
Arundell
Lord
Admirall
,
giving
him
authority
to
resist
and
to
repulse
either
by
Sea
or
Land
the
enemies
of
the
Crowne
wheresoever
he
should
find
them
.
And
it
was
further
agreed
on
,
that
for
the
appeasing
of
all
private
discontents
(
if
any
were
)
the
King
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Appellants
with
the
rest
of
the
commissioners
should
dine
together
in
the
great
Hall
,
which
they
did
,
and
there
was
great
joy
at
this
reconciliation
through
all
the
Kingdome
.
When
these
things
were
concluded
,
they
then
began
againe
this
araignment
of
the
Traytors
,
whereupon
John
Blake
and
Thomas
Vske
were
indicted
on
the
4.
day
of
March
,
who
although
they
were
men
of
inferiour
quality
yet
were
they
found
to
bee
parties
in
the
said
Treason
;
Vske
was
a
Sergeant
at
Armes
,
and
was
indicted
amongst
the
Conspirators
,
so
that
b●●●●
late
made
Sheriffe
of
Middlesex
hee
had
indicted
the
five
Appellants
and
the
Commissioners
as
Traytors
,
and
Blake
was
an
Intelligencer
of
Tressilians
,
one
that
used
to
goe
and
come
betweeue
the
Conspirators
,
and
relate
the
state
and
successe
of
the
treason
from
one
to
another
.
And
when
they
could
say
nothing
to
prove
themselves
cleare
,
sentence
was
pronounced
upon
them
as
their
Masters
were
before
them
,
they
were
carried
to
the
Tower
,
and
from
thence
were
dragged
at
the
Horse
taile
to
Tyborne
,
and
there
hanged
.
But
Vske
obtained
this
favour
,
that
his
head
was
cut
off
after
hee
was
hanged
and
set
aloft
upon
Newgate
for
Fowles
of
the
aire
to
take
repast
.
On
the
sixth
day
of
March
there
were
called
to
answer
,
Robert
Belknap
,
John
Holt
,
Roger
Falthorp
,
William
Burleigh
,
Iohn
Locton
,
and
Iohn
Carey
Baron
of
the
Exchequer
,
for
their
conspiracy
against
the
Commissioners
at
Nottingham
,
but
because
it
is
not
needfull
to
rehearse
every
part
of
their
indictment
,
they
were
all
condemned
like
as
the
rest
.
Whilst
the
Peeres
were
trying
them
,
the
Clergie
were
retired
into
the
Kings
Chambers
,
but
when
word
was
brought
to
them
of
the
condemnation
of
the
Judges
,
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
the
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
the
Chancellor
,
the
Treasurer
,
Lord
Keeper
of
the
Privie
Seale
arose
hastily
and
went
into
the
Parliament
house
,
powring
forth
their
complaints
before
the
King
and
the
Peeres
humbly
upon
their
knees
beseeching
them
that
for
the
love
of
God
,
the
Virgin
Mary
,
and
of
all
the
Saints
,
even
as
they
hoped
to
have
mercy
at
the
day
of
Judgement
,
they
should
shew
favour
and
not
put
to
death
the
said
Judges
then
present
,
and
bitterly
bewayling
their
iniquities
in
whose
hearts
the
very
life
,
soule
,
and
spirit
of
our
English
Lawes
lived
,
flourished
,
and
appeared
,
and
there
appeared
great
sorrow
both
on
the
one
part
of
the
Complainants
,
and
also
of
the
Defendants
.
The
Duke
of
Gloucester
likewise
with
the
Earles
of
Arundel
,
Warwick
,
Nottingham
,
and
Derby
,
whose
hearts
began
to
be
mollified
,
and
joyned
with
them
in
their
lamentable
Petition
.
At
length
by
intercession
of
the
Clergy
,
the
execution
upon
the
persons
was
ceased
,
and
their
lives
were
granted
them
,
but
were
sent
to
the
Tower
to
be
kept
close
prisoners
.
On
the
12.
of
March
,
being
thursday
,
it
hapned
that
the
afore-said
Knights
,
Simon
de
Burleigh
,
Iohn
de
Beauchamp
,
Iames
Baroverse
,
and
Iohn
Salisbury
were
brought
into
the
Parliament
house
where
their
accusations
were
read
,
proved
,
they
found
guilty
,
and
not
any
way
able
to
cleare
themselves
.
From
this
day
almost
till
the
Ascension
of
our
Lord
,
the
Parliament
house
was
only
taken
up
with
the
tryall
of
Sir
Symon
Burleugh
,
for
three
Appellants
,
viz.
The
Duke
of
Glocester
,
the
Earles
of
Arundell
and
Warwicke
,
with
the
whole
house
of
Commons
,
vrged
that
execution
might
be
performed
according
to
the
Law
:
And
on
the
other
side
,
the
King
,
and
Queene
,
the
Earles
of
Darby
,
and
Nottingham
,
and
the
Prior
of
Saint
John
his
Vncle
,
with
the
major
part
of
the
uper
House
,
did
labour
to
have
him
saved
.
But
because
the
Commons
were
tyred
with
so
long
delayes
,
and
excuses
in
the
Parliament
;
and
fearing
,
as
it
was
most
like
,
that
all
their
paines
would
be
to
little
or
no
purpose
,
they
humbly
craved
leave
of
the
King
,
to
goe
to
their
habitations
.
There
was
also
some
muttering
amongst
the
Common
people
,
and
it
was
reported
to
the
Parliament
,
that
the
Commons
did
rise
in
diverse
parts
of
the
Realme
,
but
especially
about
Kent
,
in
favour
of
the
said
Sir
Simon
Burleigh
,
which
when
they
heard
those
,
that
before
spake
and
stood
for
him
,
now
flew
cleane
from
him
,
and
by
joynt
consent
on
the
fifth
day
of
May
,
sentence
was
pronounced
only
against
the
said
Sir
Symon
,
that
hee
should
be
drawne
from
the
Tower
to
Tyborne
;
and
then
to
be
hanged
till
hee
were
dead
,
and
then
to
have
his
head
strooke
from
his
body
.
But
because
he
was
a
knight
of
the
Garter
,
a
gallant
Courtier
,
powerfull
,
and
once
a
Favourite
of
the
Kings
,
and
much
respected
of
all
the
Court
,
the
King
of
his
speciall
Grace
,
was
pleased
to
mittigate
his
doome
,
that
he
should
only
be
led
to
Tower-hill
,
and
ther
be
beheaded
.
On
the
twelfe
of
May
,
the
Thursday
before
Whitsontyde
,
in
like
manner
were
condemned
,
John
Beauchamp
Steward
of
the
houshold
to
the
King
,
Iames
Bereverous
,
and
Iohn
Salsbury
knights
,
Gentlemen
of
the
privie
Chamber
,
whereof
the
two
first
,
viz.
Iohn
Beauchamp
,
and
Iames
Bereverous
were
beheaded
on
Tower-hill
,
but
Iohn
Salsbury
was
drawn
from
Tower-hill
to
Tyborne
,
and
there
was
hanged
.
On
the
same
day
also
,
was
condemned
the
Bishop
of
Chichester
the
Kings
Confessor
,
but
because
of
his
great
dignitie
,
he
was
pardoned
.
Now
they
began
to
loath
the
shedding
of
so
much
Christian
blood
,
they
tooke
into
consideration
,
other
more
weighty
affaires
for
the
good
of
the
Realme
concerning
the
Wars
with
the
Scots
and
French
,
concerning
Loanes
and
Subsidues
,
and
of
the
customes
of
Wine
and
Wooll
.
And
also
concerning
the
translation
of
some
Bishops
,
because
Pope
Vrban
the
sixth
,
after
it
came
to
his
eares
,
that
the
Archbishop
of
Yorke
was
condemned
,
to
avoyd
all
hope
of
Irregularity
,
he
created
him
Archbishop
of
Saint
Andrewes
in
Scotland
:
which
Archbishop
was
under
the
power
of
Scots
,
enemies
to
the
Crown
;
and
in
the
gift
of
the
Arch-Pope
:
and
because
the
Pope
did
chalenge
halfe
the
title
of
all
England
to
maintaine
his
Wars
,
but
although
he
craved
it
,
yet
he
was
denyed
:
therefore
hee
dealt
warily
and
craftily
;
hoping
to
make
up
his
mouth
,
by
the
translation
of
Bishops
:
the
Bishop
of
Ely
,
then
Lord
Chancellor
,
was
made
Arch-Bishop
of
Yorke
,
the
Bishop
of
Dublyn
succeeded
in
his
place
;
the
Bishop
of
Bathan-Wells
in
his
place
:
the
Bishop
of
Sarum
in
his
place
,
and
the
Lord
Iohn
of
Waltham
,
Lord-keeper
of
the
privie
Seale
in
his
place
:
And
this
by
his
translation
of
Bishops
,
he
gained
himselfe
much
money
,
according
to
the
Lawes
of
the
Canon
;
and
when
this
came
to
the
eares
of
the
Parliament
,
that
such
a
summe
of
money
should
be
transported
out
of
the
Land
,
they
strove
what
they
could
to
hinder
it
,
but
could
not
,
because
the
Clergie
gave
their
consent
.
On
the
last
day
of
May
,
the
King
appointed
both
houses
to
meet
at
Keemington
,
whereas
they
made
a
conclusion
of
all
the
tryalls
of
the
said
treason
,
granting
license
to
Thomas
Trenet
,
William
Ellingham
,
and
Nicholas
Nagworth
,
Knights
,
Richard
Metford
,
Iohn
Slake
,
Iohn
Lincolne
,
Clerkes
,
to
put
in
baile
,
provided
they
were
sufficient
,
and
to
goe
into
a
place
of
England
where
they
listed
,
without
any
let
or
hindrance
of
any
of
the
Kings
Officers
.
Moreover
,
the
six
Iustices
,
with
the
Bishop
of
Chichester
,
who
stood
condemned
with
them
,
were
sent
into
Ireland
,
there
to
remaine
for
tearme
of
life
,
and
thus
they
were
to
be
divided
,
viz.
Robert
Belknap
and
John
Holt
in
the
Village
of
Dromore
in
Ireland
,
not
to
remaine
as
Iustices
or
any
officers
,
but
to
live
as
banished
offenders
,
not
to
be
out
of
Towne
above
the
space
of
two
miles
upon
paine
of
death
;
but
the
King
out
of
his
gracious
bounty
was
pleased
to
give
a
yearly
annuity
of
40.
pound
to
Robert
Belknap
,
of
20.
markes
to
John
Holt
,
during
their
lives
;
and
to
Roger
Fulthorpe
the
King
allowed
40.
pound
,
and
to
William
Burleigh
40.
pound
during
life
,
confining
them
to
the
City
of
Dublin
,
granting
Burleigh
the
liberty
of
two
miles
,
and
to
Fulthorpe
three
miles
for
their
recreation
,
John
Carey
,
and
John
Locton
with
the
yearely
allowance
of
20.
pound
during
life
,
are
confined
to
the
Tower
of
Waterford
with
the
like
liberty
,
and
the
like
penaltie
;
and
the
Bishop
of
Chichester
is
likewise
sent
to
Corke
,
there
to
remaine
with
some
allowance
and
the
like
penaltie
.
Behold
these
men
who
feared
not
God
,
nor
regarded
men
,
but
having
the
Lawes
in
their
owne
hands
,
wrested
them
now
this
way
,
now
that
way
,
as
pleased
best
their
appetites
,
wresting
them
at
their
pleasures
for
their
owne
commoditie
,
were
at
the
last
brought
downe
to
the
depth
of
miserie
from
whence
they
were
never
able
to
free
themselves
.
On
the
third
day
of
Iune
,
which
was
the
last
day
of
the
Parliament
,
the
King
,
the
Queene
,
the
Peeres
of
both
Estates
with
the
Commons
,
came
to
the
Abbey
at
Westminster
,
whereas
the
Bishop
of
London
,
because
it
was
in
his
Diocesse
sung
Masse
,
and
the
Masse
being
ended
,
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
made
an
Oration
concerning
the
former
danger
of
the
Oath
,
which
being
,
although
the
Peeres
and
Commons
had
taken
the
Oath
of
Allegeance
,
and
homage
to
the

.
BY

and
good
forfeited
,
as
appeares
in
the
Pleas
of
Parliaments
,
18.
Edward
1.
and
he
was
banished

as

to
but
one
hundred
pounds
,
was
for
this
alone
adjudged
to
bee
hanged
and
all
his
goods
and
lands
forfeited
.
The
reason
of
the
Iudgement
is
entred
in
the
Roll
in
these
vvords
.
Because
that
,
as
much
as
in
him
lay
,
he
had
broken
the
Kings
Oath
made
to
the
people
,
which
the
King
had
intrusted
him
withall
.

to
the
Crowne

in

in

,
by
divers
great
Officers
and
Ministers
of
Iustices
these
penalties
were
inflicted
upon
the
chiefe
Ministers
thereof
,
whose
manifest
corruptions
the
batred
of
the
people
to
men
of
that
profession
(
apt
to
abuse
their
science
,
and
authority
,
the
necessity
of
reforming
so
grievous
a
mischiefe
in
the
Kingdome
,
gave
easie
thereunto
by
the
Parliament
then
assembled
,
wherein
upon
due
examinations
of
their
offences
they
are
fined
to
pay
to
the
King
these
sums
following
.
First
,
Sir
Ralph
Hengham
,
chiefe
Justice
of
the

These

as
the
Rate
of
money
goes
now
,
amount
to
neere
three
hundred
thousand
markes
,
a
mighty
treasure
to
be
gotten
out
of
the
hands
of
so
few
men
,
which
how
they
could
a
masse
in
those
dayes
when
litigation
and
Law
had
not
spred
it selfe
into
those
infiuit
wreathings
of
contention
(
as
since
it
hath
)
may
seeme
strange
even
to
our
greater-getting
times
.

their
complaints
&
desires
are
so
vehemently
urged

la
Moore
,
that
all
these
persons
were
presently
put

the
subjects
,
were

King
James
Baron
Veralam

Lord
Chancellor
of
England
,
very
grievous
to
the
Common-wealth
,
by
bribery
,
was
discovered
and
displaced
.
By
Parliament
Sir
John
Bennit
Judge
of
the
Prerogative
Court
,
pernicious
to
the
Commonwealth
in
his
place
,
was
discovered

displaced
.
By
Parliament
Lyonell
Cranfield
(
sometimes
a
Merchant
of
London
)
made
by
K.
James
Earle
of
Middlesex

and
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
:
hurtfull
in
his
place
to
the
Common-wealth

was
discovered

By

perfidious

the
match
of
the
Prince
,
our
now
gracious
King
;
and
restitution
of
the
Palatinate
were
dissolved
and
annihilated
:
both
which
had
cost
the
King
and
his
Subjects
much
monie
,
and
much
blood
.
We
may
remember
that
that
sage
Counceller
of
State
Sir
William
Cecill
,
Lord
Burleigh
and
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
,
was
ofttimes
heard
to
say
,
Hee
knew
not
what
an
Act
of
Parliament
might
not
doe
:
which
sage
saying
was
approved
by
King
James
,
and
by
his
Majestie
alleaged
in
one
of
his
published
speeches
.
Which
being
so
,
now
the
face
of
Christendome
being
at
this
present
so
torne
and
miserably
〈◊〉
,
and
the
Christian
World
distracted
;
the
Gospell
in
all
places
,
almost
persecuted
,
both
Church
&
Common-wealth
,
where
the
Gospell
is
professed
in
all
places
beyond
the
Seas
,
lying
a
bleeding
(
as
we
may
say
)
and
we
our selves
at
home
not
without
feare
and
danger
.
To
conclude
,
what
good
may
we
not
hope
and
pray
for
,
by
this
present
and
other
ensuing
Parliaments
:
the
onely
meanes
to
rectifie
and
remedy
matters
in
Church
and

much
amisse
.
The
Character
.
RIchard
Son
of
the
valiant
and
vidorious
Edward
the
blacke
Prince
,
was
borne
at
Burdeaux
,
and
grand-child
to
King
Edward
the
third
,
being
●1
.
yeeres
old
,
began
his
Reigne
the
21.
day
of
June
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
,
1377.
and
was
crowned
King
at
Westminster
the
16.
of
July
.
In
beauty
,
bounty
,
and
liberality
,
he
●a●re
passed
all
his
Progenitors
;
but
was
overmuch
given
to
ease
and
quietnesse
,
little
regarding
Military
matters
of
Armes
:
and
being
young
was
most
ruled
by
you●g
Counsell
,
regarding
little
the
Counsell
of
the
sage
&
wise
men
of
the
Realm●
,
which
thing
turned
this
Land
to
great
trouble
,
and
himselfe
to
extreame
misery
;
For
being
first
disgraced
by
his
Cousin
,
Henry
of
Bullingbroke
Duke
of
Hereford
,
son
of
John
of
Gaunt
Duke
of
Lancaster
,
he
was
at
length
by
him
(
with
the
generall
consent
of
the
whole
Parliament
)
deposed
from
his
Crown
and
Kingdome
the
29.
of
September
1399.
and
committed
to
prison
,
and
afterwards
wickedly
murdered
.
For
being
sent
to
Pomfret
Castle
,
to
be
safely
kept
,
and
Princely
maintained
,
he
was
shortly
after
by
King
Henries
direction
and
commandment
(
who
feared
lest
his
estate
might
be
shaken
whiles
King
Richard
liv'd
)
wickedly
assaulted
in
his
lodging
by
Sir
Piers
of
Exton
,
and
8.
other
armed
men
,
from
one
of
which
,
with
a
Princely
courage
,
he
wrested
a
●rown
Bill
,
and
therewith
slew
4.
of
them
,
fought
with
all
the
rest
:
untill
comming
by
his
owne
Chaire
(
in
which
the
base
cowardly
Knight
himselfe
stood
for
his
owne
safety
)
he
was
by
him
stricken
with
a
Pole-Axe
,
in
the
hinder
part
of
his
head
,
that
presently
hee
fell
downe
and
dyed
,
when
he
had
raigned
22.
yeares
,
14
weekes
,
and
2
dayes

More
Memorable
things
done
by
Parliaments
.
BY
Parliament
Richard
Montague
(
since
made
Bishop

(
First
confuted

Carlton
then
B.
of
Chichester
,
and
divers
other
Reverend
Orthodox
Divines
)
was
displayed
,
and
by
Proclamation
dated
1628.
the
booke
was
called
in
and
prohibited
:
and
he
the
said
Montague
was
discovered
to
be
a
notable
unorthodox
man
,
&c.
By

Roger
Manwayring
,
D.
of
Divinity
,
&
Parson
of
St.
Giles
in
the
Fields
,
and
the
Kings
Chaplaine
,
was
discovered
to
be
an
unorthodox
man
,
and
brought
on
his
knees
to
the
Bar
of
the
Honourable
House
of
Parliament
,
and
the
booke
of
his
two
seditious
Printed
Sermons
against
Parliaments
,
entituled
Religion
and
Allegeance
,
was
by
Proclamation
called

and
he
the
said
Manwayring
,
was
censured
and
deprived
of
his
Livings
,
not
to
come
neere
the
Court
,
nor
to
exercise
or
use
any
Ministeriall
Office
,
&c.
But
notwithstanding
,
soone
after
the
fatall
dissolution
of
that
Parliament
,
1629.
He
the
said
Manwayring
by
the
power
of
a
little
great
Prelate
,
was
not
onely
restored
to
his
former
Livings
,
but

Davids
,
the
first

.
And
in
as
much
,
as
so
many
Memorable
things
have
bin
done
by
Parliaments
,
somewhereof
in
former
Times
,

indeed
done
no
lesse
,
than
write
Wonders
;
for
Reformation
of
Corruptions
,
and
Grievances
&
exemplary
Executions
in
the
State
and
Common-wealth
:
And
seeing
th'other
day
,
viz.
22.
of
February
,
there
was
that
correspondence
,
and
happy
agreement
betwixt
his
sacred
Majesty
,
and
both
the
houses
of
Parliament
now
sitting
,
which
made
the
Evening
of
that
Day
,
crowned
with
Bone-fires
and
Bells-ringing
for
joy
.
Let
us
not
cease
to
pray
and
beseech
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
still
so
to
unite
the
heart
of
the
Kings
Majesty
to
the
Parliament
(
his
great
Counsell
)
that
the
Upper
and
Lower
Houses
may
unanimously
agree
,
and
be
reciprocally
united
to
the
Kings
