[1] Then they bare him awaie, to laie him in the coun|ting house, & as they were about to laie him downe, the pangs of death comming on him,Arden [...]lain [...] outright. he gaue a great grone, and stretched himselfe, and then blacke Will gaue him a great gash in the face, and so kil|led [page 1065] him out of hand, laid him along, tooke the monie out of his pursse, and the rings from his fingers, and then comming out of the counting house, said; Now the feat is doone, giue me my monie. So mistres Arden gaue him ten pounds: [...]lacke will r [...]ueth ten pounds for h [...]s reward of Ardens wife, [...] murdering [...] husband. and he comming to Gréene, had a horsse of him, and so rode his waies. After that blacke Will was gone, mistresse Arden came into the counting house, and with a knife gaue him seuen or eight picks into the brest. Then they made cleene the parlor, tooke a clout, and wiped where it was bloudie, and strewed againe the rushes that were shuffled with strugling, and cast the clout with which they wiped the bloud, and the knife that was bloudie, wherewith she had wounded hir husband, into a tub by the wels side; where afterwards both the same clout and knife were found. Thus this wic|ked woman, with hir complices, most shamefullie murdered hir owne husband, who most entirelie lo|ued hir all his life time. Then she sent for two Lon|doners to supper, the one named Prune, and the o|ther Cole, that were grosers, which before the mur|der was committed, were bidden to supper. When they came, she said: I maruell where maister Ar|den is; we will not tarie for him, come ye and sit downe, for he will not be long. Then Mosbies sister was sent for, she came and sat downe, and so they were merie.
