The king certified before of his comming, went streight to the Tower of London the morow after the day of Epiphanie, & there taried till such time as sir Robert Clifford was there presen|ted to his person. This was doone for a policie,Policie of K. Henrie a|gainst Ro|bert Clifford. that if sir Robert accused anie of the nobilitie, they might be called thither without suspicion of anie euill, and their attached and laid fast. Some thought also, that for a policie king Henrie sent sir Robert Clifford o|uer as an espie, or else he would not so soone haue re|ceiued him into fauour againe. Neuerthelesse, there were great presumptions that it was nothing so, for both was he in great danger after his begun at|tempt, and neuer was so much estéemed with the king afterward as he was before.
