[Sidenote: Policie of K. Henrie against Robert Clifford.]
Shortlie after sir Robert Clifford, partlie trusting on the kings
promise, and partlie mistrusting the desperat begun enterprise,
returned suddenlie againe into England. The king certified before of
his comming, went streight to the Tower of London the morow after the
day of Epiphanie, & there taried till such time as sir Robert Clifford
was there presented to his person. This was doone for a policie, that
if sir Robert accused anie of the nobilitie, they might be called
thither without suspicion of anie euill, and their attached and laid
fast. Some thought also, that for a policie king Henrie sent sir Robert
Clifford ouer as an espie, or else he would not so soone haue receiued
him into fauour againe. Neuerthelesse, there were great presumptions
that it was nothing so, for both was he in great danger after his begun
attempt, and neuer was so much estéemed with the king afterward as he
was before.
