Think you my lord that any indifferent man co_n_sidering the qualite of the mater and yo_ur_ affeccion, and also the negligent passing over of suche lawful triall_es_ as ye myght haue had of the said nu_n_ne and her reuelations, is so dull, that can not p_er_ceyue and discerne that yo_ur_ co_m_monyng and often sending to the said nu_n_ was rather to here and know mor_e_ of her reuelations, than to trie out the trueth or falshed of thes same And in this behalf I suppose it wol be hard for you to purge yo_ur_self bifor_e_ god or the worle, but that ye haue been in greate defaut hering beleuyng and co_n_celing suche thing_es_ as tended to the destruction of the prince And that her reuelations wer_e_ bent and purposed to that ende . it hathe been duely p_ro_ued, affore as greate assembly and cou_n_sel of the lord_es_ of this realme as hath been seen many yer_es_ heretofor_e_ out of a p_a_rliame_n_t. And what the said lord_es_ demed thaim worthy to suffer, whiche had beleued and co_n_celed thees fals reuelations be mor_e_ terrible than any thret_es_ spoken by me to yo_ur_ brother And wher_e_ ye go abought to defende that ye be not to be blamed for co_n_celing her reuelations co_n_cernyng the king_es_ grace, bicause ye thought it not necessary to reherse thaim to his highnes. for vij causes folowing in yo_ur_ l_ette_res affor_e_ I shewe you my mynde co_n_cernyng thees causes, I suppose that albeit ye p_er_caas thought it not necessary to be shewed to the prince by you. yet that your thinking shal not be your triall, but the Law must diffine whether ye owghted to vtter it or not. And as to the first of said vii causes. Albeit[812] she told youe that she had shewed her reuelations co_n_cernyng the king_es_ grace to the king herself, yet her seyng or others discharged not you but that ye were bound by yo_ur_ fidelite to shewe to the king_es_ grace . that thing whiche semed to co_n_cerne his grace and his reigne so nyghly . for how knew you that she[813] shewed thes reuelations to the king_es_ grace but by her owne seyng, to whiche ye shuld haue gyven no suche credence as to for_e_ber_e_ the utt_e_rance of so greate maters co_n_cernyng a king_es_ welth And why shuld you so sinisterly iudge the prince that if ye had shewed thees same vnto him, he wold haue thought that ye had brought that tale vnto him mor_e_ for the strenghing and co_n_firmatio_n_ of yo_ur_ opinion then for any other thing els. Veryly my lord what so eu_er_ yo_ur_ iudgeme_n_t bee . I se dayly suche benignite and excellent humanite in his grace that I doubt not but his highnes . wold haue accepted it in good part if ye had shewed the same reuelations vnto him as ye wer_e_ bounden to do by yo_ur_ fidelite.
