For what with purging and declaring his innocencie concer|ning the murther of his nephues toward the world, and what with cost to obteine the loue and fauour of the communaltie (which outwardlie glosed, and open|lie dissembled with him) he gaue prodigallie so manie and so great rewards, that now both he lacked, and scarse wist honestlie how to borow.
