But ne|uerthelesse through the power of the almightie God fauouring the rightfull cause,The rebels put from their ground. the rebels were distres|sed, and followed in chase with great slaughter for the space of two miles. This was about the begin|ning of August.

There were taken also others of their capteins, as Thomas Underhill, Iohn Soleman, William Segar, Tempson, and Barret, which two last were priests; also Boier and Henrie Lée, two maiors, all the which were executed in one place or other, as they had well deserued. The said Boier being maior of Bodmin in Cornewall, (as Grafton reporteth) had béene a busie fellow a|mong the rebels, to set them forward in mischiefe: howbeit some that loued him sought to excuse him, as if he had béene forced hereto against his will by the rebels, who would haue killed him, and burnt his house, if he had not consented to them. But how|soeuer it was, sir Anthonie Kingston that was pro|uost marshall in the kings armie vnder the lord pri|uie seale, wrote his letter vnto the said maior,Sir Anthonie Kingston pro|uost marshall. sig|nifieng to him, that he and other with him would come and dine with him such a daie. The maior sée|ming to be glad thereof, made the best purueiance he could to receiue them, and at the time appointed, sir Anthonie Kingston came with his companie, and were right hartilie welcomed of the maior. But be|fore they sat downe to dinner, calling the maior a|side, he told him that there must be execution doone in that towne, and therefore willed him that a paire of gallowes might be framed and set vp with spéed, so that they might be readie by that time that they should make an end of dinner.

Where|with sir Anthonie taking the maior by the hand, de|sired him to bring him to the place where they stood, and comming thither and beholding them, he said to the maior; Thinke you maister maior that they be strong inough? Yea sir, quoth he, that they are. Well then said sir Anthonie, get you euen vp vnto them, for they are prouided for you. The maior greatlie a|bashed herewith, said; I trust you meane no such thing to me. Sir said he, there is no remedie, ye haue béene a busie rebell,The maior of [...] han|ged. and therefore this is appoin|ted for your reward: and so without respit or staie, there was the maior hanged.
