¶About this time six ships well manned, that were appointed to lie before Yarmouth, Abr. Fl. ex I.S pag. 1062. and to haue taken the ladie Marie if she had fled that waie, were by force of weather driuen into the hauen, where one maister Ierningham was raising power on the la|die Maries behalfe, who hearing therof, came thither. Whervpon the capteins tooke a bote and went to the ships, but the sailers and souldiers asked master Ier|ningham what he would haue,Aid by wind and wether for quéene Marie that was bent against hir. and whether he would haue their capteins or no, and he said yea. Marrie said they, ye shall haue them or we will throw them into the bottome of the sea. But the capteins said foorthwith, that they would serue quéene Marie wil|linglie, and so brought foorth their men, and conueied with them their great ordinance. Of the comming of these ships the ladie Marie was woonderfull ioi|ous, & afterward doubted little the dukes puissance: but when newes thereof was brought to the tower, each man there began to draw backward: and ouer that, word of a greater mischeefe was brought to the tower: that is to saie, that the noblemens tenants refused to serue their lords against quéene Marie.

The duke of Northumber|land writeth for more suc|cours.The duke thought long for his succors, and wrote somewhat sharplie to the councell at the tower in that behalfe, as well for lacke of men as munition, but a slender answer had he againe. And from that time forward, certeine of the councell, to wit, the erle of Penbroke, and sir Thomas Cheineie lord war|den, and other, sought to get out of the tower to con|sult in London, but could not. On the sixtéenth of Iulie, being sundaie, doctor Ridleie bishop of Lon|don,Doctor Rid|leie persua|deth the peo|ple in the title of queene Iane, &c. by commandement of the councell, preached at Paules crosse, where he vehementlie persuaded the people in the title of the ladie Iane, late proclamed quéene, and inueied earnestlie against the title of la|die Marie, &c. The same sixteenth of Iulie, the lord treasuror was gone out of the tower to his house in London at night, and foorthwith about seauen of the clocke the gates of the tower vpon a sudden were shut vp, and the keies borne vp to the ladie Iane, which was for feare of some packing in the lord trea|suror: but he was fetched againe to the tower about twelue of the clocke in the night.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The lords of the councell, being in this meane while at London,The lords of the councell suspecting that all would go against them, procla|med the ladie Marie quéen. after they vnderstood how the bet|ter part of the realme were inclined, and hearing euerie daie newes of great assemblies, began to sus|pect the sequell of this enterprise. So that prouiding for their owne suertie, without respect of the duke (who now was at Burie) they fell to a new councell, and lastlie by assent made proclamation at London in the name of the ladie Marie, by the name of Ma|rie quéene of England, France, & Ireland, defender of the faith, & of the churches of England & Ireland supreme head. Of which proclamation, after the duke of Northumberland, being then at Burie, was ad|uertised by letters of discomfort from the councell, he incontinentlie, according to the new order recei|ued from them, returned with his power againe to Cambridge. Now so sudden change of minds foorth|with appeared in his armie, that they which before séemed most forward in that quarrell, began first to flie from him, & so euerie man shifting for himselfe, he that late before was furnished of such multitude of souldiers, was suddenlie forsaken of all sauing a few, whose perils were ioined with his.
