This sir George Garnes haberdasher gaue y^e windmil which stādeth toward the east in Fins••ery fielde to the poore almose people of the same companye. And also he gaue to be distribute to the poore people of the parish of S. Bar∣tholomew the little .xviii. d. in breade euery sonday for euer.

The .xxi day of Nouember. the chil∣dren were taken into the Hospitall at the gray friers to the numbre of iiii. C

In the sommer past, kyng Edwarde went in progresse into the weste coun∣trey, where he had so muche exercise of haukyng and hunting, as was thought by some to bee da••ngerous vnto hys healthe. Towarde wynter he retour∣ned to London, and frome thense to

Grene wiche, where all the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 season was passed with muche plea∣santnesse and myr••he, vntyll at length in Ianuarye he fell sycke of a cough, whiche ended in co••sumption of the lyghtes.

The .xx. day of May .iii. great ship∣pes* 1.1 well furnyshed were set forth for the aduentu••e of the vnknowen voy∣age to Moscouia. And .ii. other shyps were sente foorth to seke aduentures southe wardes.

In May Lorde Gylsorde the Duke of Northumberlandes fourthe sonne, maried lady Iane the Duke of Suffol∣kes daughter, whose mother being thē alyue, was daughter to Mary kynge Henryes syster.

The .xxii. daye of Iune was a verye great & terrible clap of thunder aboute* 1.2 rii. of the clock at noone, which bet o∣pen one of the doores of saint Denyse c••••••••ch in London, & tore of both lock and lynyng of the same doore.

Kyng Edward beyng about the age* 1.3 of xvi. yeres, as is said before, was lōg sick of a consumption of the lightes, & the ▪vi. day of Iuly ended his lyfe.

The x. day of Iuly the death of kyng Edward•• was publyshed. The same

day in the after noone about fowero•• the clocke, the Lady Iane doughter of the lady Frances, the duchesse of Suf¦folke, whiche Lady Iane was maried vnto the Lorde Gylforde Dudley the fourthe sonne vnto the Duke of Nor∣thumberland, was conueyed by water to the Tower of London, and betwene vi••. and .viii. of the clocke in the eue∣ning, proclamat••ō was made through out the citie, whereby was declared, that kyng Edward beyng dece••sed, by his wyll had assigned the sayde Lady Iane to be quene, and thervpon so pro¦claymed Quene of Englande. This matter was very greuously taken of y^e common people, and a great numbre of gentilmen, for the ••one they bare to la∣dy Mary, and the right of her title. For when it was heard that the Ladye Mary was fled to Framingham castel in Suffolke, the people of the coun∣trey almost wholly resorted vnto her, and in Oxenford syr Iohn Williams: in Buckynghamshire, syr Edmunde Peckham, and in dyuers other pla∣ces many men of worshyppe, gathered great powers, and with al spede made toward Suffolke, where lady Marye was, The .xiii. day of Iuly by appoi••t

mente of the counsell of the duke of Northumberland, the Earle of Hun∣tingdon, the lord Grey of Wilton, and dyuers other with a greate numbre of men of armes, wente to fetche her by force, and was on theyr way as farre as Bury. But the .xix. daye of Iulye, the counsell, partely moued wy••h the right of her cause, partly consydering that the most of the Realm was whol∣ly bente on her syde: chaunged theyr myndes, and immediately came in••o Cheapesyde with the kynge of Heral∣des, where they proclaymed the ladye* 1.4 Mary, Quene of Englande, kepyng as prisoners in the Tower, lady Iane lately proclaimed, and lorde Gylford her husband: and the duke, returnyng to Cambridge, on the twentye daye at nyght, beyng apprechended of the gard, he with other, was brought to the to∣wer of London, the fiue and twentye of Iulye. Thus was the matter ended without bloudshed, whi¦che men feared, woulde haue brought the deth of many thou∣sandes.
