The fifteenth daie of March next following, the ladie Elizabeth the queenes sister, and next heire to the crowne, was ap|prehended at hir manour of Ashridge, for suspicion of Wiats conspiracie.

¶Touching the imprisonment of the foresaid ladie Elizabeth, & the lord Courtneie, Abr. Fl. ex Ioh. Fo [...]i ma [...]|tyrologio. thou shalt note here for thy learning (good reader) a politike point of prac|tise in Stephan Gardiner bishop of Winchester, not vnworthie to be considered. This Gardiner being alwaies a capitall enimie to ladie Elizabeth, & thin|king now by the occasion of maister Wiat to picke out some matter against the lord Courtneie, and so in the end to intangle the ladie Elizabeth, deuised a pestilent practise of conueiance, as in the storie here following maie appeare. The storie is this. The same daie that sir Thomas died,A point of practise of Stephã Gar [...]diner against the ladie E|lizabeth. he desired the lieutenant to bring him to the presence of the lord Courtneie, who there before the lieutenant and the shiriffes, knéeling downe vpon his knées, besought the lord Courtneie to forgiue him, for that he had falselie ac|cused both the ladie Elizabeth and him: and so being brought from thence vnt [...] the scaffold to suffer, there openlie in the hearing of all the people cleared the ladie Elizabeth, and the lord Courtneie, to be free and innocent from all suspicion of that commotion. At which confession, doctor Weston there standing by,Doctor West [...] against the l [...]die Elizabet [...] cried to the people, saieng: Beléeue him not (good people) for he confessed otherwise before vnto the councell.

After the execution doone of sir Thomas Wiat, which was the eleuenth daie of Aprill, word was brought immediatlie to the lord maior sir Thomas White a little before dinner, how maister Wiat had cleared the ladie Elizabeth and lord Courtneie,The lord ma|iors iudgme [...] of D. West [...] and the words also which doctor Weston spake vnto the people. Wherevnto the lord maior answering; Is this true quoth he? Said Weston so? In sooth I ne|uer tooke him otherwise but for a knaue. Upon this the lord maior sitting downe to dinner (who dined the same daie at the Bridgehouse) commeth in sir Martine Bowes with the recorder, newlie come from the parlement house, who hearing of the maior and shiriffes this report of Wiats confession, both vpon the scaffold and also in the tower, maruelled thereat, declaring how there was another tale con|trarie to this, told the same daie in the parlement house, which was, that sir Thomas Wiat should de|sire the lord Courtneie to confesse the truth, so as he had doone before.
