[1] The shamefull spoile which they there made was wonderfull, and yet the zeale of iustice, truth, and vp|right dealing which they would seeme to shew, was as nice and strange on the other part, speciallie in such kind of misgouerned people: for in that spoiling of the dukes house, all the iewels, plate, and other rich and sumptuous furniture which they there found in great plentie they would not that any man should fare the better by it of a mite, but threw all into the fire,Strange dea|ling of the re|bels. so to be consumed; and such things as the fire could not altogither destroie, as plate and iewels, they brake and crashed in péeces, throwing the same into the Thames. One of them hauing thrust a faire siluer peece into his bosome, meaning to conueie it awaie, was espied of his fellowes, who tooke him, and cast both him and the péece into the fire; saieng they might not suffer any such thing, sith they professed themselues to be zealous of truth and iustice,The iustice of the rebels. and not théeues nor robbers.
