His L. called vnto him the Chauncellour, and Coise Barons of the
Exchequer, and tooke a priuate hearing of the cause. It was there
manifestly prooued before them, that besides this long continuance,
and the Importance, (as that which touched the vndooing of more then
a thousand persons) her Highnesse possessed no other lands, that
yeelded her so large a benefit in Rents, Fines, Heriots, and other
perquisites. These reasons found fauourable allowance, but could
obtaine no thorough discharge, vntill the Gentlemen became
suppliants to her Maiesties owne person, who, with her natiue &
supernaturall bounty, vouchsafed vs gratious audience, testified her
great dislike of the attempter, & gaue expresse order for stay of
the attempt: since which time, this barking Dogge hath bene mufled.
May it please God to award him an vtter choaking, that he neuer haue
power to bite againe.

was then in the Countrey) to Sir Henry Killigrews sound aduice,
and to Master William Killigrews painefull soliciting (being the most
kinde patrone of all his Countrey and Countreymens affaires at
Court.
