On _Monday_ we were heartened, and doubtless _Wyat_ was disheartened, by the Bruit of Lord _Abergavenny's_ marching upon him from _Blackheath_ with three Thousand Men. Thereon ensewed Diversity of Councils, in the End whereof, Master _Wyat_ decided to march along the _Thames_ next Day, to get Access to _Middlesex_ by _Kingston Bridge_. One of the Lieutenant's Men of the Tower being despatched on special Charge across to the Bishop of _Winchester's_ Palace, a Waterman of the Tower Stairs prayed him for a Cast in his Boat, which he granted. Seven of _Wyat's_ Men being on the Look-out, levelled their Arquebusses at the Boat, charging them to re-land, which they not complying with, the Men discharged their Pieces with mortal Effect; for the poor Waterman fell dead, and the Sculler with much Terror rowed back, through the Bridge, to the Tower Wharf. The Lieutenant, in a mighty Heat at what had happened, levelled seven great Pieces of Ordnance full against the south End of the Bridge and against _Southwark_, besides all the Guns on the White Tower, and over the Watergate, so that the Men and Women dwelling in _Southwark_ rushed confusedly to Master _Wyat_, and prayed him to take Pity on them, or they should be utterly undone and destroyed. Whereat, he, partly abashed, said, "I pray you, Friends, have Patience a little, and I will presently relieve you of your Fears." And so, gave Orders to march; and cleared out of _Southwark_ about eleven of the Clock on _Shrove Tuesday_, without leaving a Penny unpaid to the Inhabitants, or doing the least Damage beyond sacking and destroying the Bishop of _Winchester's_ Palace and Library. Thus ended our three Days' Beleaguerment. Now, leaving the Bridge in sufficient Guard, Master _Hewet's_ Post lay at one of the City Gates: and a general Muster in St. _James's Field_ was proclaimed for Six o' the Clock next Morning.
