But the duke of Summerset, which now conceiued in his mind the thing that shortlie followed, incessantlie exhorted the councell, that the duke of Yorke, by compulsion or otherwise, might be driuen to confesse his offense, that so being attainted of treason, he might suffer execution, and his children to be taken as aduersaries to their na|tiue countrie; to the intent that by the extinction of him and his sequeale, all ciuill warre and inward di|uision might ceasse and be repressed: beséeching al|mightie God, that so great an enimie to the king and his bloud, might neuer escape punishment, nor con|tinue long in life.
