Tanquam ouis. i. Like a shéepe to the slaugh|ter.So she passing forward to Windsore, was lodged there that night in the deane of Windsors house, a place more méet in déed for a priest than for a prin|cesse. And from thense hir grace was garded and brought the next night to maister Dormers house, where much people standing by the way,Ladie Eliza|beth honoura|blie receiued and beloued of the people. some pre|sented to hir one gift, and some another: so that sir Henrie was greatlie mooued therewith, and trou|bled the poore people verie sore, for shewing their lo|uing hearts in such a maner, calling them rebels and traitors, with such like vile words. Besides, as she passed thorough the villages, the townesmen rang the bels, as being ioyfull of hir comming, thin|king verelie it had beene otherwise than it was in|deed, as the sequele prooued after to the said poore men. For immediatlie the said sir Henrie hearing the same, sent his souldiors thither, who apprehended some of the ringers, setting them in the stocks, and otherwise vncourteouslie misusing other some for their good wils.

The gentle interteinment of ladie Eliza|beth at the lord of Tames house.On the morrow hir grace passing from maister Dormers (where was for the time of hir abode there a strict watch kept) came to the lord of Tames house where she laie all night, being verie princelie inter|teined, both of knights and ladies, gentlemen and gentlewomen. Wherat sir Henrie Benefield grun|ted,

and was highlie offended, saieng vnto them, that they could not tell what they did, and were not able to answer to their dooings in that behalfe; let|ting them to vnderstand that she was the quéens maiesties prisoner, and no otherwise: aduising them therfore to take heed & beware of afterclaps. Where|vnto the lord of Tame answered in this wise: that he was well aduised of his dooings, being ioined in commission as well as he, adding with warrant, that hir grace might and should in his house be mer|rie. The next daie as she should take hir iournie from Richmond towards Woodstocke,Ladie Eliza|beth commeth to Woodstocke. the lord of Tame, with an other gentleman being at tables, plaieng, and dropping vie crownes, the ladie Eliza|beth passing by,The strict watch kept at Woodstocke. staied & said she would sée the game plaied out, which sir Henrie Benefield would scarse permit. The game running long about, and they plaieng drop vie crownes; Come on saith he: I will tarie saith she, and will sée this game out.

After this, sir Henrie went vp into a chamber, where was appointed for hir grace a chaire, two cu|shions, and a foot carpet verie faire and princelike, wherein presumptuouslie he sat, and called one Bar|wike his man to pull off his boots. Which as soone as it was knowen among the ladies and gentles, euerie one mused thereat, & laughed him to scorne, obseruing his vndiscréet maners in that behalfe, as they might verie well. When supper was doone, he called my lord, and willed him that all the gentle|men and ladies should withdraw themselues euerie one to his lodging, maruelling much that he would permit there such a companie, considering so great a charge committed to him. Sir Henrie (quoth my lord) content your selfe, all shall be voided, your men and all. Nay my soldiors (quoth sir Henrie) shall watch all night. The lord of Tame answered, It shall not need. Well said he, Néed or néed not, they shall so doo: mistrusting belike the companie, which God knoweth was without cause.
