[1] On thursdaie the ninth of Nouember, Thomas Persie erle of Northumberland receiued the queens maiesties letters to repaire to the court.The earle of Northumber|land and [...]estmerland [...]. And the same night, other conspirators perceiuing him to be wauering and vnconstant of promise made to them, caused a seruant of his, called Beckwith (af|ter he was laid in his bed) to bustle in, and to knocke at his chamber doore, willing him in hast to arise, and shift for himselfe, for that his enimies (whome he termed to be sir Oswold Ulstrop, and maister Uaughan) were about the parke, and had béeset him with great numbers of men. Wherevpon he arose, & conueied himselfe awaie to his kéepers house. In the same instant they caused the bels of the towne to be roong backeward, and so raised as manie as they could to their purpose. The next night the earle de|parted thense to Branspith, where he met with Charls earle of Westmerland, and the other confe|derats. Then by sundrie proclamations, they abu|sing manie of the queens subiects, commanded them in hir highnesse name,The earles [...] the quéene and hir s [...]b [...]ects. to repaire to them in war|like maner, for the defense and suertie of hir maie|sties person; sometimes affirming their dooings to be with the aduise and consent of the nobilitie of this realme, who in deed were wholie bent (as manifest|lie appeared) to spend their liues in dutifull obedi|ence, against them and all other traitors, sometimes pretending for conscience sake to séeke to reforme religion: sometimes declaring that they were dri|uen to take this matter in hand, least otherwise for|ren princes might take it vpon them, to the great perill of this realme.
