The earle of Warwike was taken, and committed to the tower the same day that the king had willed him to dinner, and shewed him verie good countenance. There were also apprehen|ded and committed to the tower the same time, the lord Iohn Cobham, and sir Iohn Cheinie knights. The earle of Arundell was sent to the Ile of Wight, there to remaine as prisoner, till the next parlement, in the which he determined so to prouide, that they should be all condemned, and put to death. And for doubt of some commotion that might arise amongst the commons, he caused it by open proclamation to be signified, that these noblemen were not apprehen|ded for any offense committed long agone, but for new trespasses against the king, as in the next parle|ment should be manifestlie declared and prooued.

They were about two thousand archers, paid wéekelie, as by the annales of Britaine it appeareth. The king had little trust in a|ny of the nobilitie, except in his brother the earle of Huntington, and the earle of Rutland sonne to the duke of Yorke, and in the earle of Salisburie: in these onelie he reposed a confidence, and not in any other, except in certeine knights and gentlemen of his priuie chamber.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In the meane time, whiles things were thus in broile, before the beginning of the parlement, diuers other, beside them of whom we haue spoken, were ap|prehended and put in sundrie prisons.The lords appointed to come in war|like manner to the parlemẽt. The parle|ment was summoned to begin at Westminster the 17 of September, and writs therevpon directed to e|uerie of the lords to appeare, and to bring with them a sufficient number of armed men and archers in their best arrai [...]: for it was not knowen how the dukes of Lancaster and Yorke would take the death EEBO page image 490 of their brother, nor how other péeres of the realme would take the apprehension and imprisonment of their kinsemen, the earles of Arundell and War|wike, and of the other prisoners. Suerlie the two dukes when they heard that their brother was so sud|denlie made awaie, Polydor. they wist not what to saie to the matter, and began both to be sorowfull for his death, and doubtfull of their owne states: for sith they saw how the king (abused by the counsell of euill men) ab|steined not from such an heinous act, they thought he would afterwards attempt greater misorders from time to time. Therefore they assembled in all hast, great numbers of their seruants,The dukes of Lancaster & Yorke assem|ble their powers to re|sist the kings dealings. fréends, and te|nants, and comming to London, were receiued into the citie. For the Londoners were right sorie for the death of the duke of Glocester, who had euer sought their fauour, in somuch that now they would haue béene contented to haue ioined with the dukes in see|king reuenge of so noble a mans death, procured and brought to passe without law or reason, as the com|mon brute then walked; although peraduenture he was not as yet made awaie.
