Some had their pardons, and the préests also for their order sake;
but yet few of them liued long after. The lord Fitz-Water pardoned of
life, was conueied to Calis, and there laid in hold, & after lost his
head; bicause he went about to corrupt his kéepers with rewards, that
he might escape, intending (as was thought) to haue gone to Perkin.
[Thus by the policie and subtile deuise of the king, practised to the
point by his espials, the sinewes of this conspiracie was rent in
sunder. So that the malicious ladie Margaret was not a little swolne
with indignation when she saw the course of hir deuise (now that it
had passed so far as that it was knowne to people on this side and
beyond the seas) stopped, and the confederacie (whereto she speciallie
trusted) dissolued. Yet notwithstanding, as women will not (to die for
it) giue ouer an enterprise, which of an enuious purpose they attempt;

all Flemish wares and merchandizes out of his dominions, but also
restreined all English merchants from their repaire and traffike into
anie of the lands and territories of the king of Romans, or of the
archduke Philip, sonne to the same king of the Romans; causing the
mart to be kept at Calis, of all English merchandizes and commodities.
Wherefore the said king and his sonne banished out of their lands
and seigniories all English clothes, yarne, tin, lead, and other
commodities of this realme. The restreint made by the king sore
hindered the merchants aduenturers; for they had no occupieng to beare
their charges, and to support their credit withall.
