During the popes captiuitie, Guic. pag. 1072 Rome was sore af|flicted with the plague, in somuch that the rage there|of so greatlie increased,The castell where the pope was pri|soner infected with the pla|gue. that the castell of saint An|gelo was visited, to the great danger of the life of the pope; about whome died certeine speciall men that did seruice to his person: who amid so manie afflicti|ons and aduersities, and no other hope remaining to him than in the clemencie of the emperour, appointed for legat with the consent of the capteins, cardinall Alexander of Farneso, who notwithstanding being issued out of the castell, and Rome, refused vnder that occasion to go in the, said legation.

Edw. Hall. H. 8. fol. Cliiij. At length the maior called a common councell in the moneth of August, and there were manie billes laied against the strangers, and at last it was enacted, that no citizen nor fréeman shuld buy nor sell in no place, nor exchange nor meddle with certeine strangers, called Anthonie Bonuice, Laurence Bonuice, Anthonie Uiuald, Anthonie Caueler, Francis de Bard, Thomas Calnecant, and a great sort more, whose names I let passe.
