<f>A fewe dayes after this tumult, the Abbot of</f> _Westminster_ <f>came to</f> _London_ <f>to</f> Phillip Dawbney, <f>one of the kings counsel, to complaine of the iniuries done to him, which the</f> _Londoners_ <f>perceyuing, beset the house aboute, and tooke by violence twelue of the Abbots horsses away, cruelly beating of his men, &c. But whiles the foresayde</f> Daubney, <f>laboured to pacifie the vprore, the Abbot gotte out at a backe dore of the house, and so by a boate on the</f> _Thamis_ <f>hardlye escaped, the Citizens throwing stones after him in great aboundāce. These things being thus done</f>, Hubert de Burgo, <f>Justiciar of</f> _England_, <f>with a great armye of men came to the Tower of</f> _London_, <f>and sent for the Maior and Aldermē, of whom he enquired for the principal aucthours of this faction. Then</f> Constantine, <f>who was constaunt in the sedition, was more constante in the aunsweare, affirming, that he had done it, and that he hadde done muche lesse than he ought to haue done. The Justiciar tooke him and two other with him, and in ý morning carely sent them to</f> Falcatius <f>by water, with a gret number of armed men, who brought</f> Constantine <f>to the gallowes, and when he sawe the rope about his necke, he offered for his life</f> 15000. <f>marks, but that would not saue him: so he was hanged with</f> Constantine <f>his nephew, &</f> Galfride, <f>that proclaymed his proclamation on the sixteenth of August</f>. <f>Then the Justiciar entring the City with a great army, caused to be apprehended as many as he coulde learne to be culpable, whose feet and hands he caused to be cut off, which crueltie caused many to flee the Citie.</f> <f>The king toke of the Citizens</f> 60 <f>pledges, which he sēt to diuers Castelles: he deposed the Maior, appointing a Gardien or keeper ouer the Citie, and caused a greate gybet to be made, and after heauie threatnings, the Citizens were reconciled, paying to the king manye thousande markes.</f> The bawling for the Lord Lodowicke was a very foolish thing to do. It showed, first, that the Londoners associated the men of Westminster with the Court; it showed also that the memory of Prince Louis of France, who had taken up his residence for a time in London, still survived. But it was ill advised, because it set the King against the citizens. The pillory of New Palace Yard has held some notable persons in its embrace: Perkin Warbeck, for instance, who had to read his own confession. The same ceremony was performed in Cheapside “with many a curse and much wondering,” says Stow. In this pillory stood Alexander Leighton, for a fanatical libel. Here stood William Prynne for writing the “Histrio Mastix.” Here stood Titus Oates, and here stood the printer of Wilkes’s famous “No 45.”
