[Footnote 287: Ce qui faict juger a beaulcoup de gens que Wyatt ne mourra point, mais que la dicte dame le rendra tant son oblige par ceste grace de luy rendre la vie qu'elle en pourra tirer beaulcoup de bons et grandes services. Ce qui se faict par le moyen dudict ambassadeur de l'Empereur par l'advis duquel se conduisent aujourdhuy toutes les opinions d'icelle dame, et lequele traice ceste composition avecques la femme dudict Wyatt a laquelle comme l'on diet il a asseure la vie de son dict mari.--Noailles to the Constable of France, March 31. Renard's secrets were betrayed to Noailles by "a corrupt secretary" of the Flemish embassy.--Wotton to the Queen: _French MSS._ bundle xi. State Paper Office.] [Footnote 288: Noailles says: Wyatt a este condamne a mourir; toutesfois il n'est encores execute et avant que luy prononcer sa sentence on luy avoit promis tant de belles choses que vaincu par leur doulces paroles oultre sa deliberation, il a accuse beaulcoup de personnages et parle au desadvantage de mylord de Courtenay et de Madame Elizabeth.--Noailles to d'Oysel, March 29. The different parties were so much interested in Wyatt's confession, that his very last words are so wrapped round with contradictions, that one cannot tell what they were. It is certain, however, that he did implicate Elizabeth to some extent; it is certain, also, that he did not say enough for the purposes of the court, and that the court believed he could say more if he would, for, on Easter Sunday he communicated, and the queen was distressed that he should have been allowed to partake, while his confession was incomplete. As to Courtenay, Renard said he had communicated enough, "mais quant a Elizabeth l'on ne peult encores tomber en preuves suffisantes pour les loys d'Angleterre contre elle."--Renard to Charles V.: _Rolls House MSS._]
