that was laid in Lollards tower by commandement of the bishop of London, called Ri|chard Fitz Iames, and his chancellor doctor Horssie, was found dead, hanging by the necke in a girdle of silke within the said tower. That ye maie vnder|stand the cause of his imprisonment, the beginning was this. The same Hun had a child that died in his house, being an infant; the curat claimed the bearing shéet for a mortuarie. Hun answered, that the infant had no propertie in the shéet. Wherevpon, the préest ascited him in the spirituall court. He taking to him counsell, sued the curat in a premunire: and when this was knowne, meanes was found, that Hun being accused of heresie, was attached, and laid in Lollards tower, where he was found dead, as ye haue heard. Much adoo was made about his death, for the bishop and the chancellor said, that he hanged himselfe.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But manie of the temporaltie affirmed, that he was murthered, [...] death [...], and [...] what [...]. greatlie lamenting the case: for he was well beloued, and namelie of the poore, which cried out against them that were suspected to haue made him awaie. He was a good almes-man, and greatly reléeued the needie. The question of his death was so farre put foorth, that vpon the suspicion he should be murthered, twelue men were charged be|fore the coroner. After they had taken view of the bodie, the same was burned in Smithfield by the bi|shops appointment: notwithstanding the coroners quest indicted doctor Horssie, with one Iohn Spal|ding, otherwise called Belringer, and Charles Io|seph the summoner of the murthered; howbeit, vpon his arreignement, through great sute and corruption of monie (as manie iudged) the kings attorneie de|clared doctor Horssie not to be giltie.

This Christmasse on Newyeares night, the king, the duke of Suffolke, [...] Hall. in [...]. fol. lv, vlj. [...] gorgious & [...] maske [...] the [...]ing was [...]. & two other were in mantels of cloath of siluer lined with blew veluet, the siluer was pounst in letters that the veluet might be séene thorough, the mantels had great capes like to the Portingall slops, and all their hosen, dublets, and coats were of the same fashion cut, and of the same stuffe. With them were foure ladies in gowns, after the fashon of Sauoie, of blew veluet, lined with cloath of gold, the veluet all cut, and mantels like tipets knit togither all of siluer, and on their heads bonets of burned gold, the foure torch-bearers were in sattin white and blew. This strange apparell plea|sed much euerie person, and in especiall the quéene. And thus these foure lords & foure ladies came into the quéenes chamber with great light of torches, and dansed a great season, and then put off their visors, and were all well knowne, and then the quéene har|tilie thanked the kings grace for hir goodlie pastime and disport.
