Pacis et author erat, dilector et vrbis honorum.
Anno milleno tricenteno numerato
Sic octogeno currente cum simul vno,
Plebe rea perij ...... morte dolosa.
Basily festo dum regnat plebs furiosa.

Hee was drawne and hailed out of his owne house by Wat. Tyler and other Rebels, and by them beheaded in Cheape, the yeare 1381.
