[1] Maister Lewes with all dexteritie so sped his busi|nesse, that he made and concluded a finall end and de|termination of this enterprise betwene the two mo|thers. And bicause he was a physician, and out of all suspicion and misdéeming, he was the common cur|ror and dailie messenger betweene them, aiding and setting foorth the inuented conspiracie against king Richard. So the ladie Margaret countesse of Rich|mond, brought into a good hope of the preferment of hir sonne, made Reginald Braie hir most faithfull seruant, chiefe sollicitor and priuie procuror of this conspiracie; giuing him in charge secretly to inuegle and attract such persons of nobilitie to ioine with hir and take hir part, as he knew to be ingenious, faith|full, diligent, and of actiuitie. This Reginald Braie within few daies brought vnto his lure (first of all taking of euerie person a solemne oth to be true and secret) sir Giles Daubneie, sir Iohn Cheinie knight, Richard Gilford, and Thomas Rame esquiers, and diuers other. The countesse of Richmond was not so diligent for hir part, but quéene Elizabeth was as vigilant on the other side, and made friends, and ap|pointed councellors to set forward and aduance hir businesse.
