Howbeit his estimation he might haue preserued vnblemished had prouident circumspection vndertaken the direction of his dooings and that he had borne his eies in his forehead to foresee all afterclaps

Waterings thrée gentlemen Iohn Mantell Iohn Frowds and george Roidon they died for a murther committed in Sussex as their indictement imported in companie of Thomas Fines lord Dacres of the south The truth whereof was thus The said lord Dacres through the lewd persuasion of some of them as hath béene reported line 20 meaning to hunt in the parke of Nicholas Pelham esquire at Laughton in the same countie of Sussex being accompanied with the said Mantell Frowds and Roidon Iohn Cheinie and Thomas Isleie gentlemen Richard Middleton and Iohn Goldwell yeomen passed from his house of Hurstmonseux

accordinglie as they line 50 were appointed were readie at the tower to haue receiued the said prisoner and him to haue lead to execution on the tower hill But as the prisoner should come forth of the tower one Heire a gentleman of the lord chancellors house came and in the kings name commanded to staie the execution till two of the clocke in the afternoone which caused manie to thinke that the king would haue granted his pardon But neuerthelesse at three of the clocke in the same afternoone he was brought forth of the tower line 60 and deliuered to the shiriffs who lead him on foot betwixt them vnto Tiburne where he died His bodie was buried in the church of saint Sepulchers He was not past foure and twentie yéeres of age when he came through this great mishap to his end for whome manie sore lamented and likewise for the other thrée gentlemen Mantell Frowds and Roidon But for the sad yoong lord being a right towardlie gentleman and such a one as manie had conceiued great hope of better proofe no small mone and lamentation was made the more indéed for that it was thought he was induced to attempt such follie which occasioned his death by some light heads that were then about him The first of Iulie a Welshman a minstrell was hanged and quartered for singing of songs which were interpreted to be prophesies against the king This summer the king tooke his progresse to Yorke and passed through Lincolneshire where was made to him an humble submission by the temporaltie and confessing their faults they humblie thanked him for his pardon which he had granted them The towne

Paule And when he preached of the force of faith he vttered this saieng If an angell preach contrarie doctrine to vs in these things let him be accurssed In the twentith yeare of king Henries reigne in the Aduent time the noble baron the lord Robert Fitz Water departed this life and so likewise did a noble yong man descended of most noble parentage one Roger de Somerie year 1236 On the foureteenth day of Ianuarie insuing the king married the ladie Elianor daughter to the earle of Prouance named Raimond This marriage was solemnized at Canturburie and in the octaues of S. Hilarie next insuing being sunday shee was crowned queene of England at Westminster At the solemnitie of this feast and coronation of the quéene all the high peeres of the realme both spirituall and temporall were present there to exercise their offices as to them apperteined The citizens of London were there in great arraie bearing afore hir in solemne wise thrée hundred and thréescore cups of gold and siluer in token that they ought to wait vpon hir cup. The archbishop of Canturburie according to his dutie crowned hir the bishop of London assisting him as his deacon The earle of Chester bare the sword of saint Edward before the king in token that he was earle of the palace and had authoritie to correct the king if he should see him to swarue from the limits of iustice his constable of Chester attended vpon him and remooued where the presse was thicke with his rod or warder The earle of Penbroke high Marshall bare the rod before the king and made roome before him both in the church and in the hall placing euerie man and ordering the seruice at the table The wardens of the cinque ports bare a canopie ouer the king supported with foure speares The earle of Leicester held the bason when they washed The earle of Warren in the place of the erle of Arundell bicause he was vnder age attended on the kings cup. M. Michaell Bellet was Butler by office The earle of Hereford exercised the roome of high Marshall in the kings house The lord William de Beauchampe was almoner The cheefe iustice of the forrests on the right hand of the king remooued the dishes on the table though at the first he was staied by some allegation made to the contrarie The citizens of London serued out wine to euerie one in great plentie The citizens of Winchester had ouersight of the kitchin and larderie And so euerie person according to his

with the earle of Suffolke and the lord Aburgauennie which had taken as before yee haue heard the towne of Chierburgh lodged before the port of S. Hilarie néerer to their enimies by fortie rodes than any other person of the armie During this siege also there arriued at Har●lue the lord of Kilmaine in Ireland with a band of sixteene hundred Irishmen in maile with darts and skains after the maner of their countrie all of them being tall quicke and nimble persons which came and presented themselues before the king lieng still at the siege of whom they were not onelie gentlie receiued welcomed but also because it was thought that the French king and the duke of Burgognie would shortlie come and either attempt to raise the siege or vittell and man the towne by the north gate they were appointed to kéepe the north side of the armie and speciallie the waie that commeth from the forest of Lions Which charge the lord of Kilmaine and his companie ioifullie accepted and did so their line 10 deuoir therein that no men were more praised nor did more damage to their enimies than they did for suerlie their quickenesse swiftnesse of foot did more preiudice to their enimies than their barded horsses did hurt or damage to the nimble Irishmen Also the kings coosine germane and alie the king of Portingale sent a great nanie of well appointed ships vnto the mouth of the riuer of Seine to stop that no French vessels should enter the riuer and passe vp the same to the aid of them within Rone line 20 Thus was the faire citie of Rone compassed about with enimies both by water and land hauing neither comfort nor aid of King Dolphin or Duke And yet although the armie was strong without there lacked not within both hardie capteins and manfull souldiers And as for people they had more than inough for as it is written by some that had good cause to know the truth and no occasion to erre from the same there were in the citie at the time of the siege two hundred and ten thousand persons Dailie line 30 were issues made out of the citie at diuerse gates sometime to the losse of the one partie and sometime of the other as chances of warre in such aduentures happen The Frenchmen in déed preferring fame before worldlie riches and despising pleasure the enimie to warlike prowesse sware ech to other neuer to render or deliuer the citie while they might either hold sword in hand or speare in rest The king of England aduertised of their haultie courages determined to conquer them by famine line 40 which would not be tamed with weapon Wherefore he stopped all the passages both by water and land that no vittels could be conueied to the citie he cast trenches round about the wals and set them full of stakes and defended them with archers so that there was left neither waie for them within to issue out nor for anie that were abroad to enter in without his licence To rehearse the great paines trauell and diligence which the king tooke vpon him in his owne person at this siege a man might woonder And because line 50 diuerse of the souldiers had lodged themselues for their more ease in places so farre distant one from an other that they might easilie haue béene surprised by their enimies yer anie of their fellowes could haue come to their succors he caused proclamation to be made that no man vpon paine of death should lodge without the precinct appointed them nor go further abroad from the campe than such bounds as were assigned Now as it chanced the king in going about the campe to surueie and view the warders he espied line 60 two souldiers that were walking abroad without the limits assigned whom he caused straightwaies to be apprehended and hanged vpon a tree of great height for a terrour to others that none should be so hardie to breake such orders as he commanded them to obserue Whilest the king laie thus with his power about the mightie citie of Rone the Frenchmen sought to indamage as well those that were at that siege as other of the Englishmen that laie in garrisons within the townes that were alreadie in the king of Englands possession insomuch that as some haue written within the octaues of the Assumption three notable victories chanced to the Englishmen in thrée seuerall places First an hundred Englishmen at Kilbuef tooke three great lords of the Frenchmen besides fourescore other persons and put thrée hundred to flight Also vpon the thursdaie within the same octaues foure hundred Frenchmen that were entered within the suburbes of Eureux were repelled by eleuen Englishmen that tooke foure of those Frenchmen prisoners siue twelue of them and tooke fortie horsses On the saturdaie following the Frenchmen tooke in hand to steale vpon them that laie in garrison within Louiers in hope to surprise the towne earlie in the morning but the capteine perceiuing their purpose sallied foorth with a hundred of his men and putting the Frenchmen to flight being a thousand tooke an hundred and fourescore of them being all gentlemen But to returne to them before Rone The siege thus continuing from Lammas almost to Christmas diuerse enterprises were attempted and diuerse policies practised how euerie part might indamage his aduersaries no parte greatlie reioised of their gaine But in the meane time vittels began sore to faile them within that onelie vineger and water serued for drinke If I should rehearse according to the report of diuerse writers how déerelie dogs rats mise and cats were sold within the towne and how greedilie they were by the poore people eaten and deuoured and how the people dailie died for fault of food and yoong infants laie sucking in the stréets on their moothers breasts lieng dead starued for hunger the reader might lament their extreme miseries A great number of poore sillie creaturs were put out at the gates which were by the Englishmen that kept the trenches beaten and driuen backe againe to the same gates which they found closed and shut against them And so they laie betweene the wals of the citie and the trenches of the enimies still crieng for helpe and reléefe for lacke whereof great numbers of them dailie died Howbeit king Henrie mooued with pitie vpon Christmasse daie in the honor of Christes Natiuitie refreshed all the poore people with vittels to their great comfort and his high praise yet if the duke of Burgognies letters had not béene conueied into the citie it was thought they within would neuer haue made resistance so long time as they did for by those letters they were assured of rescue to come Diuerse lords of France hauing written to them to the like effect they were put in such comfort herewith that immediatlie to expresse their great reioising all the bels in the citie were roong foorth chéerefullie which during all the time of the siege

thrée first as is found in their atteindor were executed for diuerse heresies but none alledged whereat saith Hall I haue much maruelled that their heresies were so manie and not one alledged as a speciall cause of their death And verelie at their deaths they asked the shiriffs what was their offense for which they were condemned Who answered they could not tell but most men said it was for preaching against the doctrine of Stephan Gardiner bishop of Winchester who chieflie as the same Hall saith procured their deaths The last thrée to wit Powell Fetherston and Abell suffered for treason as in their atteindor was speciall mention made to wit for denieng the kings supremacie and affirming his mariage with the ladie Katharin Dowager to be good The fourth of August Thomas Empson sometime a moonke of Westminster which had béene in prison for treason in Newgate now for the space of thrée yeares and more came before the iustices of gaole deliuerie at Newgate and for that he would not aske the kings pardon nor be sworne to be true to him his moonks garment was plucked from his backe and he repriued till the king were informed of his malicious obstinacie and this was the last moonke that was séene in his clothing in England till queene Maries daies The fourth of August were drawne from the Tower of London to Tiburne Giles Heron gentleman Clement Philpot gentleman late of Calis and seruant to the lord Lisle Darbie Genning Edmund Brindholme priest chapleine to the said lord Lisle William Horne late a laie brother of the Charterhouse of London and an other offendor which six persons were there hanged and quartered and had béene atteinted of treason by parlement The same daie also was one Charles Carew gentleman hanged for robbing of the ladie Carew The eight of August was the ladie Katharine Howard néece to the duke of Norffolke and daughter to the lord Edmund Howard shewed openlie as quéene at Hampton court The eleuenth of September a stranger was hanged in Moorefield named Iames Rinatian who had slaine his maister one Capon a Florentine in a garden for his harlot In the latter end of this summer was vniuersallie through the most parts of this realme great death by a strange kind of hot agues and fluxes and some pestilence in which season was such a drought that wels and small riuers were cleane dried vp so that line 10 much cattell died for lacke of water and the Thames was so shalow the fresh water of so small strength that the salt water flowed aboue London bridge till the raine had increased the fresh waters On the two and twentith of September Rafe Egerton seruant to the lord Audleie lord chancellor and one Thomas Harman seruant to one master Flightwood were drawne hanged and quartered the one for counterfeiting and antidating of the kings seale in a sign●t wherewith he sealed licences for deuizens vnder the name of the clearkes of line 20 the chancerie and the other that is to saie Harman for writing them One Tuckefield being of their faction robbed the lord Audleies chappell and fled who being afterward apprehended at Calis which towne he would haue betraied he slue himselfe with a dagger In the end of this yeare the French king made a strong castell at Ard and also a bridge ouer into the English pale which bridge the crew of Calis did beat downe and the Frenchmen built it vp againe but the Englshmen beat it downe againe line 30 After this the K. sent about fiftéene hundred workemen to fortifie the towne of Guisnes and sent with them fiue hundred men of warre to gard them It was reported in France that a mightie armie was come ouer foorth of England with great ordinance which brute caused the French king to send to the frontiers of Picardie the duke of Uandosme and other capteins with all spéed to defend the same The king of England hearing thereof sent line 40 the earles of Surrie and Southampton and the lord Russell high admerall into the marches of Calis to set order there and after them he likewise sent two hundred light horssemen of the borders of Scotland whom the Frenchmen called Stradiots The lords hauing set order in things shortlie returned A boie oneRichard Mekins not past fiftéene yeares of age was burnt in Smithfield for speaking against the sacrament and contrarie to the statute of the six articles The bishop of London was thought in great line 50 fault for procuring that terrible execution seeing the yoong fellow was but an ignorant foole without learning and gladlie recanted that wherewith he was charged About the latter end of this yeare doctor Samson bishop of Chichester year 1541 and doctor Wilson which had béene committed to the tower as before ye haue heard were now pardoned of the king and set againe at libertie In the beginning of this yeare fiue priests in Yorkeshire began a new rebellion line 60 with the assent of one Leigh a gentleman and nine temporall men all which persons were apprehended and in diuers places put to execution The said Leigh and two other the one named Taterfall a clothier the other Thornton a yeoman on the seuentéenth of Maie were drawne through London to Tiburne and there executed And sir Iohn Neuill knight and ten other persons died for the same cause at Yorke The same daie Margaret countesse of Salisburie that had remained a long time prisoner in the tower was beheaded there within the tower She was the last of the right line and name of Plantagenet The ninth of Iune for example sake two of the kings gard the one named Damport and the other Chapman were hanged at Greenwich by the friers wall for robberies which they had committed ¶ On the tenth of Iune sir Edmund Kneuet knight of Norffolke was arreigned before the kings iustices sitting in the great hall at Gréenewich maister Gage comptrollor of the kings household maister Southwell sir Anthonie Browne sir Anthonie Winke●ield maister Wrisleie and Edmund Peckham cofferer of the kings houshold for striking of one maister Clers of Norffolke seruant with the earle of Surrie within the kings house in the tenis court There was first chosen to go vpon the said Edmund a quest of gentlemen and a quest of yeomen to inquire of the said stripe by the which inquests he was found giltie and had iudgement to lose his right hand Wherevpon was called to doo the execution first the sergeant surgion with his instruments apperteining to his office the sergeant of the woodyard with the mallet and a blocke wherevpon the hand should lie the maister cooke for the king with the knife the sergeant of the larder to set the knife right on the ioint the sergeant ferrer with the searing irons to seare the veines the sergeant of the poultrie with a cocke which cocke should haue his head smitten off vpon the same blocke and with the same knife the yeoman

There was therfore by order of the councell a wise gentleman learned named George Ferrers appointed to that office for this yeare who being of better credit estimation than cōmonlie his predecessors had beene before receiued all his commissions and warrants by the name of the maister of the kings pastimes Which gentleman so well supplied his office both in shew of sundrie sights and deuises of rare inuentions and in act of diuerse interludes and matters of pastime plaied by persons as not onelie satisfied the common ●ort but also were verie well liked and allowed by the councell and other of skill in the like pastimes but best of all by the yoong king himselfe as appéered by his princelie liberalitie in rewarding that seruice ¶ On mondaie the fourth of Ianuarie the said lord of merie disports came by water to London and landed at the tower wharffe entred the tower and then rode through tower street where he was receiued by Uause lord of misrule to Iohn Mainard one of the shiriffes of London and so conducted through the citie with a great companie of yoong lords gentlemen to the house of sir George Barne lord maior where he with the chéefe of his companie dined and after had a great banket and at his departure the lord maior gaue him a standing cup with a couer of siluer and guilt of the value of ten pounds for a reward and also set a hogshed of wine and a barrell of beere at his gate for his traine that followed him The residue of his gentlemen seruants dined at other aldermens houses and with the shiriffes and then departed to the tower wharffe againe so to the court by water to the great commendation of the maior and aldermen and highlie accepted of the king and councell This Christmas being thus passed and spent with much mirth and pastime year 1552 wherewith the minds and eares of murmurers were méetlie well appeased according to a former determination as the sequele shewed it was thought now good to procéed to the execution of the iudgement giuen against the duke of Summerset touching his conuiction atteindor of the fellonie before mentioned Wherevpon the two and twentith daie of Ianuarie then next following being fridaie he was brought out of the tower and according to the manner deliuered to the shiriffes of London and so with a great companie of the gard others with weapons was brought to the scaffold where he should suffer without changing either voice or countenance other than he was accustomed to vse at other times The same morning earelie the conestables of euerie ward in London according to a precept directed from the councell to the maior strictlie charged euerie houshold of the same citie not to depart anie of them out of their houses before ten of the clocke of that daie meaning thereby to restreine the great number of people that otherwise were like to haue béen at the said execution Notwithstanding by seauen of the clocke the tower hill was couered with a great multitude repairing from all parts of the citie as well as out of the suburbs And before eight of the clocke the duke was brought to the scaffold inclosed with the kings gard the shiriffes officers the warders of the tower other with halberds where as he nothing changing neither voice or countenance but in a maner with the same gesture which he commonlie vsed at home knéeling downe vpon both his knees and lifting vp his hands commended himselfe vnto God After he had ended a few short praiers standing vp againe and turning himselfe toward the east side of the scaffold nothing at all abashed as it séemed vnto those that stood by neither with the sight of the ax neither yet of the hangman nor of present death but with the like alacri●ie and chéerefulnesse of mind and countenance as before times he was accustomed to heare the causes supplications of other speciallie of the poore towards whome as it were with a certeine fatherlie loue to his children he alwaies shewed himselfe most attentiue he vttered these words to the people The words of the duke of Summerset at his death DEerelie beloued friends I am line 10 brought hither to suffer death albeit I neuer offended against the king neither by word nor deed and haue beene alwaies as faithfull and true vnto this realme as anie man hath beene But forsomuch as I am by law condemned to die I doo acknowledge my selfe as well as others to be subiect therevnto Wherefore to testifie mine obedience line 20 which I owe vnto the lawes I am come hither to suffer death wherevnto I willinglie offer my selfe with most hartie thanks vnto God that hath giuen me this time of repentance who might thorough sudden death haue taken awaie my life that I neither should haue acknowledged him nor my selfe Moreouer deerelie beloued friends there is yet somewhat that I must put line 30 you in mind of as touching christian religion which so long as I was in authoritie I alwaies diligentlie set foorth and furthered to my power Neither doo I repent me of my dooings but reioise therein sith now the state of christian religion commeth most neere vnto the forme and order of the primitiue church Which thing I esteeme as a great benefit giuen of God line 40 both to you and me most hartilie exhorting you all that this which is most purelie set foorth vnto you you will with like thankefulnesse accept and embrace and set out the same in your liuing which thing if you doo not without doubt greater mischiefe and calamitie will follow When he had spoken these words suddenlie there line 50 was a great noise heard wherevpon the people were streight driuen into a great feare few or none knowing the cause Wherefore I thinke it good to write what I saw saith Iohn Stow concerning that matter The people of a certeine hamlet which were warned to be there by seauen of the clocke to giue their attendance on the lieutenant now came thorough the posterne and perceiuing the duke to be alreadie on the scaffold the foremost began to run crieng to their fellowes to follow

driuen to depart thense vnto the Camber at Rie which then was a notable good rode though now vtterlie decaied or into the Isle of Wight For in a sudden flaw or storme of wind at southeast there haue beene seuen or eight ships broken all to péeces in one daie vpon the said cliffes To reléeue and amend the same harborough and somewhat to mitigat the foresaid inconuenience line 10 there was a round tower builded by one Iohn Clarke préest maister of the maison de Dieu about the yeare one thousand fiue hundred at the southwest part of the said baie which serued somewhat to defend the ships from the rage of the southwest wind but especiallie to moore the ships which were tied therevnto For manie great ringles were fastened to the same tower for that purpose as it maie yet be séene sith it standeth there at this houre And hereby that part of the baie was made so pleasant as euer after line 20 that corner hath béene named and is at this daie called Little paradise Neuerthelesse this was thought verie insufficient in respect of the place for the safegard of such a multitude of ships as vsuallie laie for harbour in that rode For besides all strange botes which commonlie repaired thither it appeareth in the booke of Doomesdaie that Douer armed yearelie at his proper charges twentie vessels to the sea by the space of fiftéene daies with one and twentie able men in ech ship line 30 Now about the yeare of Christ one thousand fiue hundred fiftie and two one sir Iohn Thomson clarke parson of the parish of saint Iames in Douer being a man ingenious and séeing the conueniencie and possibilitie of a good hauen to be made in that place consulted with the cheefe and best mariners of the towne Among whome it was agréed that humble sute should be made to the kings maiestie by the state of the towne for his gratious fauour and aid toward the making of a good hauen there And it was also line 40 by them all thought meet that the said sir Iohn Thomson should exhibit their petition to his highnesse whervnto he agréed and drew a plot and prepared a supplication in the name and behalfe of the towne conteining the necessarie causes and reasons deuises and instructions for the erection and building thereof But he told them he was poore and therefore vnable of his owne proper charges to follow the sute In which respect they collected among themselues and deliuered vnto him foure pounds ten shillings which line 50 he accepted and foorthwith repaired to the court where he so demeaned himselfe as he had present accesse to the king who heard his sute with great fauor and debated with him about the contents of his plot and liked so well of his informations that he willed him to repaire home and without delaie to returne to his presence accompanied with some of the best mariners or seamen of the towne and so with commendations dismissed him for that time When the maisters of the towne vnderstood his graces pleasure they immediatlie assembled themselues line 60 and made choise of Edward Maie Robert Iustice Richard Cowchie and Iohn Steward as the fittest and skilfullest persons to vse conference and to be imploied in that cause being all mariners of good experience These foure and the said sir Iohn Thomson without further staie resorted to the court with whom when the king had communed he conceiued of the necessitie of a hauen to be there had and of the probabilitie and likelihood of good successe in the enterprise to be performed according to their suggestion And because his maiestie vnderstood the poore estate of the towne he granted his gratious aid for the supplie of their want of monie deliuering at that time out of his owne cofers vnto them the summe of fiue hundred pounds wherewith he willed them to make a beginning of the worke At which time he bestowed on the said sir Iohn Thomson the maistership of the maison de Dieu of Douer which was a hospitall valued at one hundred and twentie pounds by the yeare the custome and dutie of the which house was as the ancient townesmen informe me to interteine and reléeue souldiors and others which came from beyond the seas hurt or distressed who were allowed some reléefe there by the space of certeine daies gratis which though I find not directlie set downe in record yet doo I know assuredlie the same to haue beene put in execution wherewith the verie name of the house is agréeable and as it were a credible witnesse The king at that time also appointed the said sir Iohn to be principall surueior of the works and vnder him the other foure to be ouerseers of the same Now am I to giue you to vnderstand that the drift and deuise of the said sir Iohn Thomson was to erect a huge wall which he termed by the name of a pierre from Arcliffe chapell being the southwest part of the baie directlie towards the east into the maine sea about 131 rods in length so as by that meanes the harborough was to be garded from the rage of all weather comming from the north northeast northwest and southwest and so the entrance onelie at east southeast whereinto when the ships were once brought they might there lie safe in all weather at the one side or the other But the pierre was not finished by 350 foot so far as the foundation thereof which he called the Molehead was laid which foundation consisted of great rocks brought from a place néere hand called Hakcliffe or the castell Raie and Folkestone This pierre was begun on S. Annes daie 1533 and it was compiled of two rowes of maine posts great piles of fiue or six twentie foot long set at each side close togither which were let downe and put in certeine holes hewed in the great rocks laid for that purpose but some of those piles were shod with iron and driuen into the maine rocke of chalke with a great engine called a ram These posts and piles were combined and held togither with iron bolts and were filled with mightie stones of chalks as also with beach and other earth but the bottome consisted altogither of great rocks of stone which if they had not béene brought thither by a speciall deuise must néeds haue béene extreame chargeable for manie of them were of twentie tun a péece and few vnder The practise of this charge is now common but it was before that time rare vnknowne in England and inuented there by a poore simple man named Iohn Yoong who first with a nutshell after with an egshell lastlie with a small vessell made proofe what weight those things could raise beare in the water and hauing by that experiment made triall or at least a probable coniecture that stones of great weight might be raised and carried in the water by greater vessels he
