Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 Then the speaker sir Iohn Bushie, with open mouth, besought that iudgement might be had a|gainst such a traitour:

and your faithfull commons (said he to the king) aske and require that so it may be doone. The earle turning his head aside, quietlie said to him; Not the kings faithfull cõmons require this, but thou, and what thou art I know. Then the eight appellants standing on the other side, cast their gloues to him, and in prosecuting their appeale (which alreadie had béene read) offered to fight with him man to man to iustifie the same. Then said the earle, If I were at libertie, and that it might so stand with the pleasure of my souereigne, I would not refuse to prooue you all liers in this behalfe. Then spake the duke of Lancaster, saieng to him; What haue you further to saie to the points before laid against you? He answered, that of the kings grace he had his let|ters of generall pardon, which he required to haue al|lowed. Then the duke told him, that the pardon was reuoked by the prelates and noble men in the parle|ment, and therefore willed him to make some other answer. The earle told him againe that he had an other pardon vnder the kings great seale, granted him long after of the kings owne motion, which also he required to haue allowed. The duke told him, that the same was likewise reuoked.

There went with him to sée the execution doone six great lords, of whome there were thrée earles, Notingham (that had marri|ed his daughter) Kent (that was his daughters son) and Huntington, being mounted on great horsses, with a great companie of armed men, and the fierce bands of the Cheshire-men, furnished with axes, swords, bowes and arrowes, marching before and behind him, who onelie in this parlement had licence to beare weapon, as some haue written. When he should depart the palace, he desired that his hands might be losed to dispose such monie as he had in his pursse, betwixt that place and Charingcrosse. This was permitted, and so he gaue such monie as he had in almes with his owne hands, but his armes were still bound behind him.

But he in no wise would so doo, but mainteined that he was neuer traitour in word or deed: and herewith percei|uing the earles of Notingham and Kent, that stood by with other noble men busie to further the executi|on (being as yée haue heard) of kin and alied to him, he spake to them, and said:

Trulie it would haue be|séemed you rather to haue béene absent than here at this businesse. But the time will come yer it be long, when as manie shall meruell at your misfortune as doo now at mine.

It is verie well, doo that thou hast to doo quick|lie, and so knéeling downe, the executioner with one stroke, strake off his head: his bodie was buried to|gither with his head in the church of the Augustine friers in Breadstréet within the citie of London.The executiõ of the earle of Arundell.
