The 13. of Ianuarie 1554. Doctor Crome for his prea∣ching vpon Christmas day without licence, was commit∣ted to the Fleete.
The 21. of Ianuarie, M. Thomas Wootten Esquire, was for matters of religion committed to the Fleete close prisonner.
* 1.1This mention of mariage was about the beginning of Ianuary, and was very euill takē of the people, & of many of the nobility, who for his, and for religion, conspiring a∣mong themselues, made a rebellion: whereof sir Thomas Wyate knight was one of the chief beginners: who beyng in Kent,* 1.2 said (as many els perceiued) that the Queene and the Counsel would by forraine mariage bring vppon thys Realme moste miserable seruitude, & establish popish reli∣gion. About the 25. of Ianuary newes came to London of this stur in Kent,* 1.3 and shortlye after of the D. of Suffolke, who was fled into Warwikeshier & Lecestershire: there to gather a power. The Queene therefore caused them bothe wyth the two Carewes of Deuonshire to bee proclaimed Traitors: and sent into Kent against Wyate,* 1.4 Thomas D. of Norfolke, who being aboute Rochester bridge forsaken of them that went with him, returned s••••e to London with out any more harme done vnto him, and wythoute bloud∣shed on either partie.
Furthermore to apprehende the Duke of Suffolke, be∣ing fled into Warwikeshiere, was sent the Earle of Hun∣tington in post,* 1.5 who entring the Citie of Couentrie before the Duke, disappoynted him of his purpose. Wherefore the Duke in great distresse committed himselfe to the keeping of a seruaunt of his named Underwoode in Astley Parke, who like a false traitor bewraied him. And so was brought vp to the Tower of London.
In the meane while Sir Peter Carewe hearynge of that was done, fledde into Fraunce, but the other were ta∣ken,* 1.6 and Wyat came towards London in the beginning of February. The Queene hearing of Wyates comminge, came into the Citie to the Guilde Hall, where shee made a vehement Oration against Wyate: the contentes, at least, the effect wherof here foloweth, as nere as out of her owne mouth could be penned.
