Yet notwithstanding if the ladie Margaret, persisting in hir rooted malice towards the king of England, would be to him aid|ing and helping, it was not in their power to with|stand it; for bicause in the lands assigned to hir for hir dower, she might franklie and fréelie order all things at hir will and pleasure, without contradiction of a|nie other gouernour.

Others were sent also to intise sir Robert Clifford and Wil|liam Barleie, to returne into England, promising to them pardon of all their offenses, and high rewards, for obeieng the kings request. They that were sent, did so earnestlie and prudentlie applie their businesse, that they brought all things to passe at their owne de|sires. For first they learned who were the chéefe con|spirators, and after persuaded sir Robert Clifford to giue ouer that enterprise, which had no grounded staie to rest vpon. Albeit William Barleie at the first would not leaue off, but continued his begun attempt; till after two yeares, he repenting him of his follie, & hauing pardon granted him of the king, returned home into his natiue countrie.
