But when the lords vrged him so sore to giue them answer,The lords call vpon the king to per|forme promise. he got him out of the citie, not making them priuie of his departure, and when they followed him, and seemed not well contented that he should so dis|semble with them, he excused himselfe by blaming the aire of the citie to be against his health, and there|fore bare them in hand, that he onelie sought to re|fresh himselfe in some better aire in the countrie more agreeable to his nature and as for answer to their requests, he willed [...] to repaire againe to the citie, and they should ha [...]e answer by hi [...] coun|cell,His answer so farre as should stand with reason to content them.
