Compare 1577 edition: 1 Thus they being togither agréed, Ombler and Dale, with others, by their secret appointment, so la|boured the matter in the parish of Semer, Win|tringham, and the townes about, that they were in|fected with the poison of this confederacie, in such sort that it was easie to vnderstand whervnto they would incline, if a commotion were begun, the accomplish|ment whereof did shortlie follow. For although by the words of one drunken fellow of that conspiracie named Caluerd, at the alehouse in Wintringham, some suspicion of that rebellion began to be smelled before by the lord president and gentlemen of those parties, and so preuented in that place where the re|bels thought to begin: yet they gaue not ouer so, but drew to another place at Semer by the seacoast, and there by night rode to the beacon at Straxton, and set it on fire, and so gathering togither a rude rout of rascals out of the townes neare about, being on a sturre, Ombler, Thomas Dale, Barton, and Robert Dale, hasted foorthwith with the rebels to maister Whites house to take him: who notwithstanding be|ing on horssebacke, minding to haue escaped their hands, Dale, Ombler, and the rest of the rebels tooke him, and Clopton his wiues brother, one Sauage a merchant of Yorke, and one Berrie seruant to sir Walter Mildmaie. Which foure without cause or quarell, sauing to fulfill their seditious prophesie in some part, and to giue a terror to other gentlemen, they cruellie murthered, after they had caried them one mile from Semer towards the Wold, and there after they had stripped them of their clothes & purses, left them naked behind them in the plaine fields for crowes to feed on: vntill Whites wife and Sauages wife, then at Semer, caused them to bée buried.

For first came the kings gratious and frée pardon,The kings pardon offred, receiued, refused. discharging & par|doning all them and the rest of the rebels, of all trea|sons, murthers, felonies, & other offenses doone to his maiestie before the one & twentith of August, 1549. Which pardon although Ombler contemptuouslie reading, persisted still in his wilfull obstinacie, dis|suaded also the rest from the humble accepting of the kings so louing & liberall pardon: yet notwithstan|ding with some it did good, who of likelihood submitted themselues, assuredlie belieuing if they perseuered in their enterprise, there was no way with them but one, namelie deserued death, wherewith there was no dispensing after the contempt of the princes par|don and refusall of his mercie; so that in this hea|uie case they might verie well complaine and saie:
