be true prisoners, to pro|uide for themselues out from the towne, where they
best might. But they breaking promise with him, sought waies to escape and come no more at him. On saturdaie following
verie earlie Wiat marched to Southworke, where approching the gate at
Lon|don bridge foot, he called to them within to haue it o|pened: which he
found not so readie as he looked for. After he had beene a little while in
Southworke, and began to trench at the bridge foot, and set two peeces of
ordinance against the gate, diuerse of his soldiors went to Winchester

things found in the house. Wherewith sir Thomas Wiat seemed so much
offended, that he threatned sore to hang him euen presentlie there vpon the
wharfe, and so as he made others to beleeue he meant to haue doone, if
capteine Bret and others had not intreated for him.
