[1] [2] [3] The rebels that stood by and heard him, when he had once made an end of his proclamation, bade him get him thense with a mischiefe:The traito|rous refusall of the rebels to accept the kings pardon. for it was not his faire offers, nor his swéet flattering words that should beguile them, sith they made no account of such manner of mercie, that vnder a colour of par|don, should cut off all their safetie and hope of preser|seruation. The herald perceiuing how obstinatelie they were bent, and set on all mischiefe, and that it was vnpossible to bring them from their outragious treason, either through feare of punishment or hope of pardon, departed; without hauing brought that to passe for which he was sent. Immediatlie after his departure, the rebels sought for Leonard Souther|ton, purposing to haue apprehended him, and com|mitted him to prison, for accompanieng the herald thitherwards. But he hauing knowledge of their meaning, hid himselfe from them.
