[1] In the end of Maie began in the citie of London the disease called the sweating sickenesse,The sweating sickenesse, whereof died both courtiers and others. which af|terwards infected all places of the realme, and slue manie within fiue or six houres after they sickened. This sickenesse, for the maner of the taking of the pa|tients, was an occasion of remembring that great sweat which raged in the reigne of this kings grand|father; and happilie men caused the same remedie then vsed to be reuiued. By reason of this sickenesse, the tearme was adiourned, and the circuit of the as|sises also. There died diuerse in the court of this sick|nesse, as sir Francis Poins, which had béene am|bassadour in Spaine, and diuerse others. The king for a space remooued almost euerie daie till he came to Tintinhangar, a place of the abbat of saint Al|bons, and there he with the quéene, and a small com|panie about them, remained till the sickenesse was past. In this great mortalitie died sir William Compton knight, and William Carew esquier;Sir William Compton. which were of the kings priuie chamber.
