[1] The king herewith rose vp in a great fume, and said openlie:

If any man will slea Henrie of Bath, he shall not be impeached for his death: for I doo here plainelie declare him acquit and guiltlesse for the same.

Herewith diuerse would haue run vpon him to haue murdered him, but that Iohn Mansell staied their outrage, shewing them that the king might well herafter repent the words which he spake thus in his furie, and those that should doo any vio|lence vnto the man, were not like to escape punish|ment: for both the bishop of London would suerlie accurse them, and other of his fréends would not faile to séeke reuenge by temporall force: and thus was Henrie of Bath in the kings high displeasure for the time.Henrie de Bath put to his fine. Howbeit at length, through intercession of the earle of Cornewall, and the bishop of London, he was put to his fine, and pardoned.
