Compare 1577 edition: 1 This comming of Wiat to the court being so lit|tle looked for, was great cause of reioising to such as of late before stood in great feare of him. But more than maruell it was to sée that daie, the inuin|cible heart and constancie of the quéene hir selfe, who being by nature a woman, and therefore common|lie more fearefull than men be, shewed hir selfe in that case more stout than is credible. For she, not|withstanding all the fearefull newes that were brought to hir that daie, neuer abashed. Insomuch that when one or two noblemen being hir capteins, EEBO page image 1099 came in all hast to tell hir (though vntrulie) that hir battels were yéelded to Wiat.The stout courage of quéene Ma|rie. She nothing mooued thereat, said it was their fond opinion that durst not come néere to sée the triall, saieng further, that she hir selfe would enter the field to trie the truth of hir quarrell, and to die with them that would serue hir, rather than to yéeld one iot vnto such a traitor as Wiat was, and prepared hir selfe accordinglie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But by the apprehension of Wiat that voiage tooke none effect: for after his comming to the court he was immediatlie committed to the Tower. As soone as the taking of Wiat was knowne, the ar|mie (whereof mention is made before that laie in saint Iames field) was discharged, and euerie man licenced to depart to his home. And foorthwith pro|clamation was made,Proclamati|on that none should kéepe in his house anie of Wiats faction. as well in the citie of London as in the suburbs of the same, that none vpon paine of death should kéepe in his or their houses anie of Wiats faction; but should bring them foorth imme|diatlie before the lord maior, and other the quéenes iustices. By reason of which proclamation a great multitude of their said poore caltifs were brought foorth, being so manie in number, that all the prisons in London sufficed not to receiue them: so that for lacke of place they were faine to bestow them in di|uerse churches of the said citie. And shortlie after were set vp in London for a terrour to the common sort (bicause the white cotes being sent out of the ci|tie, as before ye haue heard, reuolted from the quéenes part to the aid of Wiat) twentie paire of gallowes, on the which were hanged in seuerall places to the number of fiftie persons, which gallowes remained standing there a great part of the summer following to the great griefe of good citizens, and for example to the commotioners.

¶ As for the principals of this faction, namelie Tho|mas Wiat, Abr. Fl. ex I.S. pag. 1087, 1088 1089. Wiat sent to the tower. William Kneuet, Thomas Cobham, two brethren named Mantels, and Alexander Bret were brought by sir Henrie Ierningam by water to the tower prisoners, where sir Philip Denie receiued them at the bulworke, & as Wiat passed by he said; Go traitor, there was neuer such a traitor in Eng|land. To whom sir Thomas Wiat turned, and said, I am no traitor, I would thou shouldst well know thou art more traitor than I, it is not the point of an ho|nest man to call me so, and so went forth. When he came to the tower gate,Sir Thomas Bridges lieu|tenant of the tower. sir Thomas Bridges lieute|nant tooke in through the wicket, first Mantell, and said: Ah thou traitor, what hast thou and thy compa|nie wrought? But he holding downe his head said nothing. Then came Thomas Kneuet, whom master chamberleine gentleman porter of the tower tooke in. Then came Alexander Bret, whome sir Thomas Pope tooke by the bosome, saieng: Oh traitor, how couldest thou find in thy heart to worke such a villa|nie, as to take wages, and being trusted ouer a band of men, to fall to hir enimies, returning against hir in battell. Bret answered Yea; I haue offended in that case. Then came Thomas Cobham, whome sir Thomas Poines tooke in, and said, Alas maister Cobham, what wind headed you to worke such trea|son? And he answered, Oh sir I was seduced. Then came in sir Thomas Wiat,The zeale of the lieutenant sheweth it self by his hot lan|guage. whom sir Iohn Bridges tooke by the collar and said, Oh thou villen & vnhap|pie traitor, how couldest thou find in thy hart to worke such detestable treason to the quéenes maie|stie, who gaue thée thy life and liuing once alreadie, although thou diddest before this time beare armes in the field against hir, and now to yéeld hir battell, &c. If it were not (saith he) but that the law must passe vpon thee, I would sticke thée through with my dag|ger. To the which Wiat holding his arms vnder his side, and looking grieuouslie with a grim looke vpon the lieutenant, said; It is no maisterie now: and so passed on. Thomas Wiat had on a shirt of maile, with sleeues verie faire, theron a veluet cassocke, and a yellow lace, with the windlace of his dag hanging thereon, and a paire of boots on his legs, and on his head a faire hat of veluet, with a broad bone-worke lace about it. William Kneuet, Thomas Cobham, and Bret, were the like apparelled.
