[1] [2] When he had heard this iudgement, he said; You haue diuided my bodie at your pleasure, and I com|mit my soule vnto God: and being according to the iudgement drawen to the place where he suffered, he neuer shranke at the matter, but boldlie behaued himselfe,His constan|cie at his death. declaring at the verie houre of his death, that his intention in concluding the agréement with the Scots was good, and procéeding not of any euill meaning, but tending onelie to the wealth and quiet|nes of the realme. Neither could such friers as were permitted to come to him before his arreignement to heare his confession, get any thing more of him, but that his meaning was good, and that which he had concluded with the king of Scots was not doone vp|on any euill purpose, whereby any hurt might insue, either to the king or to the realme. ¶ Thus haue we thought good to shew the cause of this earles death, as by some writers it hath béene registred; although there be that write, Fabian. that the ouerthrow at Beighland chanced through his fault, Ca [...]ton, by misleading a great part of the kings host, and that therefore the king being offended with him, caused him to be put to death, al|beit (as I thinke) no such matter was alleged against him at the time of his arreignement.
