[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Then the speaker sir Iohn Bushie, with open mouth, besought that iudgement might be had a|gainst such a traitour:

and your faithfull commons (said he to the king) aske and require that so it may be doone. The earle turning his head aside, quietlie said to him; Not the kings faithfull cõmons require this, but thou, and what thou art I know. Then the eight appellants standing on the other side, cast their gloues to him, and in prosecuting their appeale (which alreadie had béene read) offered to fight with him man to man to iustifie the same. Then said the earle, If I were at libertie, and that it might so stand with the pleasure of my souereigne, I would not refuse to prooue you all liers in this behalfe. Then spake the duke of Lancaster, saieng to him; What haue you further to saie to the points before laid against you? He answered, that of the kings grace he had his let|ters of generall pardon, which he required to haue al|lowed. Then the duke told him, that the pardon was reuoked by the prelates and noble men in the parle|ment, and therefore willed him to make some other answer. The earle told him againe that he had an other pardon vnder the kings great seale, granted him long after of the kings owne motion, which also he required to haue allowed. The duke told him, that the same was likewise reuoked.

After this, when the earle had nothing more to saie for himselfe,The earle of Arundell con|demned. the duke pronounced iudgement against him, as in cases of treason is vsed.
