But more than maruell it was to sée that daie, the inuin|cible heart and constancie of the quéene hir selfe, who being by nature a woman, and therefore common|lie more fearefull than men be, shewed hir selfe in that case more stout than is credible. For she, not|withstanding all the fearefull newes that were brought to hir that daie, neuer abashed. Insomuch that when one or two noblemen being hir capteins, [page 1099] came in all hast to tell hir (though vntrulie) that hir battels were yéelded to Wiat.The stout courage of quéene Ma|rie. She nothing mooued thereat, said it was their fond opinion that durst not come néere to sée the triall, saieng further, that she hir selfe would enter the field to trie the truth of hir quarrell, and to die with them that would serue hir, rather than to yéeld one iot vnto such a traitor as Wiat was, and prepared hir selfe accordinglie.
