In deed we sée it true (quoth they) that you doo saie:I strait com|mission from the quéene to bring the ladie Elizabeth either quicke or dead. for which we are verie sorie: albeit we let you to vn|derstand, that our commission is such, and so strai|neth vs, that we must néeds bring you with vs, either quicke or dead. Whereat she being amazed, sorrow|fullie said, that their commission was verie sore: but yet notwithstanding she hoped it to be otherwise, and not so strict. Yes verelie, said they. Wherevpon they called for two physicians, doctor Owen and doctor Wendie, demanding of them, whether she might be remooued from thence with life, or no. Whose answer and iudgement was, that there was no impediment (in their iudgement) to the contrarie, but that she might trauell without danger of life.The gentle|nesse of quéene Marie to send hir horslitter to bring hir sister to trou|ble. In conclusi|on, they willed hir to prepare against the morning at nine of the clocke to go with them, declaring that they had brought with them the queenes litter for hir. After much talke, the messengers declaring how there was no prolonging of times and daies, so departed to their chamber, being interteined and cheared as apperteined to their worships.

On the next morrow at the time prescribed, they had hir foorth as she was, verie faint and féeble,Ladie Eliza|beth taketh hir iourn [...]ie toward the quéene. and in such case that she was readie to sound three or foure times betwéene them. What should I speake héere that cannot well be expressed, what an heauie house there was to behold the vnreuerend and dolefull dea|ling of these men, but especiallie the carefull feare and captiuitie of their innocent ladie and mistresse? Now to procéed in hir iornie from Ashridge all sicke in the litter, she came to Redborne, where she was garded all night: from thence to S. Albons, to sir Rafe Rowlets house, where she tarried that night, doth feeble in bodie, and comfortlesse in mind. From that place they passed to master Dods house at Mims, where also they remained that night: and so from thence she came to Highgate: where she be|ing verie sicke, taried that night and the next daie. During which time of hir abode there, came manie purseuants and messengers from the court: but for what purpose I cannot tell.

From that place she was conueied to the court: where (by the waie) came to méet hir manie gentle|men, to accompanie hir highnesse, which were verie sorie to sée hir in that case. But especiallie a great multitude of people there were standing by the way,Ladie Eliza|beth brought vp to Londõ. who then flocking about hir litter, lamented and be|wailed greatlie hir estate. Now, when she came to the court, hir grace was there straightwaies shut vp, and kept as close prisoner a fortnight, which was till Palmesundaie, séeing neither king nor quéene, nor lord, nor friend, all that time, but onelie then the lord chamberlaine, sir Iohn Gage, and the vicecham|berlaine which were attendant vnto the dores. About which time sir William Sentlow was called before the councell; vnto whose charge it was laid,Sir William Sentlow committed to the tower. that he knew of Wiats rebellion. Which he stoutlie denied, protesting that he was a true man, both to God and his prince, defieng all traitors and rebels: but being strictlie examined, he was in conclusion committed to the tower.
