[1] But now saint Ualentines faire being at hand, the conspirators thought to dispatch their diuelish in|tention at that time.A pr [...]pens [...]d quarel against Arden by the conspirators. Mosbie minded to picke some quarrell to maister Arden at the faire to fight with him; for he said he could not find in his heart to mur|ther a gentleman in that sort as his wife wished: al|though she had made a solemne promise to him, and he againe to hir, to be in all points as man and wife togither, and therevpon they both receiued the sacra|ment on a sundaie at London, openlie in a church there. But this deuise to fight with him would not serue, for maister Arden both then and at other times had beene greatlie prouoked by Mosbie to fight with him, but he would not. Now Mosbie had a sister that dwelt in a tenement of maister Ardens néere to his house in Feuersham: and on the faire éeuen,Ardens wi [...]e, blacke Will, & the knot of vilans meet and conclude vpon their for|mer prepensed mischiefe. blacke Will was sent for to come thither, and Gréene brin|ging him thither, met there with mistresse Arden, ac|companied with Michaell hir man, and one of hir maids. There were also Mosbie and George Shake|bag, and there they deuised to haue killed him in ma|ner as afterwards he was. But yet Mosbie at the first would not agree to that cowardlie murthering of him, but in a furie floong awaie, and went vp the abbeie stréet toward the flower de lice, the house of the aforenamed Adam Foule, where he did often host. But before he came thither now at this time, a messenger ouertooke him, that was sent from mi|stres Arden, desiring him of all loues to come backe againe to helpe to accomplish the mater he knew of. Herevpon he returned to hi [...] againe, and at his com|ming backe, she fell downe vpon hir knées to him,O importu|nate & blou|die minded strumpet! and besought him to go through with the matter, as if he loued hir he would be content to doo, sith as shee had diuerse times told him, he néeded not to doubt, for there was not anie that would care for his death, nor make anie great inquirie for them that should dispatch him.
