In the meane time, the maior of Norwich taking aduise with his brethren the aldermen, what was best to doo in this case whether presentlie to issue foorth, and distresse the rebels now in the beginning, least time might giue them meane to increase their pow|er: or rather to staie till they had aduertised the councell of the whole matter. In the end they agréed that this last aduise was most surest, and so they dis|patched a post with all spéed to the court. Beside this great campe (as they termed it) at Mousehold, there was a lesser at Rising chase neare to Lin:Rising chase. but the rebels there, by the good diligence and circumspect po|licie of the iustices and gentlemen of those parts, were spéedilie repressed, and driuen from thence. Notwithstanding afterwards they assembled togi|ther at Watton, & there remained about a fortnight, stopping also the passage at Thetford and Brandon ferrie, within nine miles of the said Watton:Watton. and at length came and ioined themselues with these other at Mousehold, by appointment of their ge|nerall capteine (as they tooke him) the foresaid Ro|bert Ket.
