perſonages as wiſhed the ſuretie of his eſtate, with the aduãcement of the
cõmon welth, to the reliefe and eaſe of his poore miſerable ſub|iects. At
length the nobles of the realm perceiuing the daunger that their countrey
ſtoode in, by rea|ſon of Donaldes inſolent miſorder, vndiſcrete rule and
gouernment,King Donalde is laid in priſõ. they
found meanes to ap|prehend and commit him vnto ſafe keeping, but the monſtrous

He ſlaieth him ſelfe in priſon. 860.
