Take him with you (said Gardiner) and punish him according to his desert, and said further: My lord, take héed to your charge, the citie of London is a whirlepoole and a sinke of all euill rumors, there they be bred, and from thence spred into all parts of this realme. There stood by the same time the lord Shandois, who being then lieutenant of the tower,The Lord [...]handois [...] report in the Star|chamber, a|gainst the la|die Elizabeth and lord Courtneie. and now hea|ring the bishop thus speake, to sooth his tale, came in with these words as followeth: My lords (quoth he) this is a truth that I shall tell you, I being lieu|tenant of the tower when Wiat suffered, he desired me to bring him to the lord Courtneie; which when I had doone, he fell downe vpon his knees before him in my presence, and desired him to confesse the truth of himselfe, as he had doone before, and to submit him selfe vnto the quéenes mercie.
