Compare 1577 edition: 1 Namelie, that the said duke intending to exalt him|selfe,The effect of the dukes [...]. and to vsurpe the crowne, the roiall power, and dignitie of the realme of England, and to depriue the kings maiestie thereof, that he the said duke might take vpon him the same; against his allegi|ance, had the tenth daie of March, in the second yéere of the kings maiesties reigne,The duke is [...] of [...] in Lon|don. and at diuerse other times before and after, imagined and compassed the kings death and destruction at London, & at Thorne|burie, in the countie of Glocester. And for the accom|plishment of his wicked intent and purpose (as in the indictment is alledged) the twentie and fourth daie of Aprill,Thus [...] had sent [...] of the [...] of Hentons [...] to the duke the [...], to [...] him to [...] ouer to [...] his chan|cellor, as by [...] other i| [...]ment ap| [...]ereth. in the fourth yéere of the kings reigne he sent one of his chapleins called Iohn de la Court, to the priorie of Henton in Summersetshire, which was an house of the Chartreux monks. The effect or substance of whose message was, to vnderstand of one Nicholas Hopkins, a monke of the same house (who was vainelie reputed by waie of reuelation to haue foreknowledge of things to come) what should happen concerning the matters which he had imagi|ned. Which monke, causing the said de la Court first to sweare vnto him, not to disclose his words to a|nie maner of person, but onelie to the duke his mai|ster: therewith declared, that his maister the said duke should haue all, willing him for the accomplish|ment of his purpose, to séeke to win the fauour of the people. De la Court came backe with this answer, and told it to the duke at Thorneburie the morrow after, being the twentie fift of Aprill.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Also the two and twentith of Iulie in the same fourth yeare,The monks reuelation was peremp|torie to the duke. the duke sent the same de la Court with letters vnto the said monke, to vnderstand of him further of such matters: and the monke told him againe for answer, that the duke should haue all. And being asked as well now, as before at the first time, how he knew this to be true: he said, By the grace of God. And with this answer de la Court now also returning, declared the same vnto the duke, the twentie fourth of Iulie at Thorneburie aforesaid. Moreouer, the said duke sent the same de la Court a|gaine to the said monke with his letters, the six and twentith of Aprill, in the fift yeare of the kings reigne, when the king was to take his iournie into France; requiring to vnderstand what should be|come of these warres: and whether the Scotish king should in the kings absence inuade the realme or not. The monke (among other things) for answer of these letters, sent the duke word,But herein the moonke lied. that the king should haue no issue male.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Againe, the said duke the twentith daie of Fe|bruarie, in the sixt yeare of the kings reigne, being at Thorneburie, spake these words vnto Rafe earle of Westmerland; Well, there are two new dukes created here in England, but if ought but good come to the king, the duke of Buckingham should be next in bloud to sucéed to the crowne. After this, the said duke on the sixtéenth daie of Aprill, in the said sixt yeare of the kings reigne, went in person vnto the priorie of Henton, and there had conference with the foresaid monke, Nicholas Hopkins, who told him, that he should be king. Wherevnto the duke said, that if it so chanced,The duke & the monke haue confe|rence saith the indict|ment. he would shew himselfe a iust and a righteous prince. The monke also told the duke, that he knew this by reuelation, and willed him in anie wise to procure the loue of the commons, the better to atteine his purposed intention.
