But see the hap, the night before the daie ap|pointed for their departure, he was crediblie infor|med, that Richard earle of Cambridge brother to Edward duke of Yorke, and Henrie lord Scroope of Masham lord treasuror, with Thomas Graie a knight of Northumberland,The earle of Cambridge [...] other lor [...]s apprehended for treason. Thom. [...] being confederat togi|ther, had conspired his death: wherefore he caused them to be apprehended. The said lord Scroope was in such fauour with the king, that he admitted him sometime to be his bedfellow, in whose fidelitie the king reposed such trust, that when anie priuat or pu|blike councell was in hand, this lord had much in the determination of it. For he represented so great gra|uitie in his countenance, such modestie in behauiour, and so vertuous zeale to all godlinesse in his talke, that whatsoeuer he said was thought for the most part necessarie to be doone and followed. Also the said sir Thomas Graie (as some write) was of the kings priuie councell.

When king Henrie had heard all things opened, which he desired to know, Hall. he caused all his nobilitie to come before his presence, before whome he caused to be brought the offendors also, and to them said.

Hauing thus conspired the death and destruction of me, which am the head of the realme and gouernour of the peo|ple,King Henries words to the traitours. it maie be (no doubt) but that you likewise haue sworne the confusion of all that are here with me, and also the desolation of your owne countrie. To what horror (O lord) for any true English hart to con|sider, that such an execrable iniquitie should euer so bewrap you, as for pleasing of a forren enimie to imbrue your hands in your bloud, and to ruine your owne natiue soile. Reuenge herein touching my per|son, though I séeke not; yet for the safegard of you my déere fréends, & for due preseruation of all sorts, I am by office to cause example to be shewed. Get ye hence therefore ye poore miserable wretches to the re|ceiuing of your iust reward, wherein Gods maiestie giue you grace of his mercie and repentance of your heinous offenses. And so immediatlie they were had to execution.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This doone,The earle of Cambridge and the other traitors exe|cuted. the king calling his lords againe afore him, said in words few and with good grace. Of his enterprises he recounted the honor and glorie, where|of they with him were to be partakers, the great confidence he had in their noble minds, which could not but remember them of the famous feats that their ancestors aforetime in France had atchiued, whereof the due report for euer recorded remained yet in register.

The doubt of danger to be nothing in respect of the certeintie of honor that they should acquire, wherein himselfe (as they saw) in person would be lord and leader through Gods grace. To whose maiestie as chéeflie was knowne the equitie of his demand: euen so to his mercie did he onelie recommend the successe of his trauels. When the king had said, all the noble men knéeled downe, & promised faithfullie to serue him, dulie to obeie him, and rather to die than to suffer him to fall into the hands of his enimies.
