[1] [2] At the same time, & neere the same place dwelled a miller that had beene a great dooer in that rebellion, for whom also sir Anthonie Kingston sought: but the miller being thereof warned, called a good tall fel|low that he had to his seruant, and said vnto him: I haue businesse to go from home, if anie therefore come to aske for me, saie thou art the owner of the mill and the man for whome they shall so aske, and that thou hast kept this mill for the space of three yeares, but in no wise name me. The seruant pro|mised his maister so to doo.A millers man hanged for his mai|ster. And shortlie after came sir Anthonie Kingston to the millers house, and calling for the miller, the seruant came forth, and answered that he was the miller.

How long, quoth sir Anthonie, hast thou kept this mill? He an|swered thre yeares. Well then said he, come on, thou must go with me, and caused his men to laie hands on him, and to bring him to the next trée, saieng to him; Thou hast béene a busie knaue, and therefore here shalt thou hang. Then cried the fel|low out, and said that he was not the miller, but the millers man. Well then, said sir Anthonie, thou art a false knaue to be in two tales, therefore said he, hang him vp: and so incontinentlie hanged he was in déed.

After he was dead, one that was pre|sent, told sir Anthonie;This was a hard procéeding, though the partie had beene no| [...]nt. Surelie sir this was but the millers man. What then said he, could he euer haue doone his maister better seruice than to hang for him?
