“Being thus gathered in crowds, they ran thro’ St. _Nicholas’s Shambles_; and at St. _Martin’s_ Gate Sir _Thomas More_, and others, met them, desiring them to return to their Homes, which they had almost persuaded them to do; when some within St. _Martin’s_, throwing Sticks and Stones, hurt several who were with Sir _Thomas More_, particularly one _Nicholas Dennis_, a Serjeant at Arms, who, being much wounded, cried out, _Down with them_; and then all the unruly Persons ran to the Doors and Windows of the Houses within St. _Martin’s_, and spoiled all they found. After that they ran into _Cornhill_, and so on to a House East of _Leadenhall_, called the _Green-Gate_, where dwelt one _Mewtas_, a _Picard_, or _Frenchman_, with whom dwelt several other _Frenchmen_. These they plundered; and, if they had found _Mewtas_, they would have struck off his Head. “They ran to other Places, and broke open and plundered the Houses of Strangers, and continued thus till three o’Clock in the Morning, at which Time they began to withdraw; but by the Way they were taken by the Mayor and others, and sent to the _Tower_, _Newgate_, and the _Compters_, to the Number of three hundred. “The Cardinal, being advertised of this by Sir _Thomas Parre_, sent him immediately to inform the King of it at _Richmond_; and he forthwith sent to learn what Condition the City was in. Sir _Roger Cholmeley_, Lieutenant of the Tower, during the Time of this Business, shot off certain Pieces of Ordnance against the City, but did no great Hurt. About five o’Clock in the Morning the Earls of _Shrewsbury_ and _Surrey_, _Thomas Dockery_, Lord Prior of St. _John’s_, _George Nevil_, Lord _Abergavenny_, and others, came to _London_, with what Forces they could get together; so did the Inns of Court: But, before they came, the Business was all over. “Then were the Prisoners examined, and the Sermon of Doctor _Bell_ called in Question, and he sent to the _Tower_. A Commission of _Oyer_ and _Terminer_ was directed to the Duke of _Norfolk_, and other Lords, for the Punishment of this Insurrection. The second of _May_, the Commissioners, with the Lord-Mayor, Aldermen, and Justices, went to _Guildhall_, where many of the Offenders were indicted; whereupon they were arraigned, and pleaded _Not Guilty_, having one Day given them, ‘till the fourth of _May_.
