And moreouer, to the intent that euerie coast, waie, passage, and corner, should be diligentlie watched & kept, he set at euerie doubtfull and suspec|ted place men of warre, to séeke, search, and inquire, if anie creature could tell tidings of the duke of Buc|kingham; or of anie or his confederation, adherents, fautors or partakers.

Humfreie Banaster (were it more for feare of life and losse of goods, or allured & prouo|ked by the auaricious desire of the thousand pounds) he bewraied his guest and maister to Iohn Mitton then shiriffe of Shropshire; which suddenlie with a strong power of men in harnesse apprehended the duke in a little groue adioining to the mansion of Humfreie Banaster, and in great hast and euill speed conueied him apparelled in a pilled blacke cloake to the towne of Shrewesburie, where king Richard then kept his houshold.

And as for his thousand pounds, K. Richard gaue him not one farthing, saieng that he which would be vntrue to so good a maister, would be false to all other: howbeit some saie that he had a small office or a farme to stop his mouth withall. The duke being by certeine of the kings councell diligentlie vpon interrogatories ex|amined, what things he knew preiudiciall vnto the kings person, opened and declared franklie and frée|lie all the coniuration, without dissembling or glo|sing; trusting, bicause he had trulie and plainelie re|uealed and confessed all things that were of him re|quired, that he should haue licence to speake to the king: which (whether it were to sue for pardon and grace, or whether he being brought to his presence, would haue sticked him with a dagger as men then iudged) he sore desired and required.
