...Finallie, this summer, being in the yeare of our Lord one thousand fiue hundred eightie and three, was verie hot and contagious, & the infection of the plague that yeare more vniuersallie dispersed through England than in manie yeares before, and that towne verie much subiect therevnto, by means 35 of throughfare and common passage, and had been extremelie visited therewith not long before, so as the towne was abandoned of most men; yea of some of the inhabitants themselues for that cause: and yet God blessed so the works, as in this extraordinarie and populous assemblie, there was in no part of the towne anie death or infection either of townsmen or workmen, which resorted 40 thither from all the parts of England.
And one thing more in mine opinion is to be noted and commended herein, that is to saie, that in all this time, and among all these people, there

was neuer anie tumult, fraie, nor falling out, to the disquieting or disturbance of the works, which by that means were the better applied, and with lesse interruption. For they neuer ceased working the whole daie, sauing that at eleuen of the clocke before noone, as also at six of the clocke in the euening, there was a flag vsuallie held vp by the sargent of the towne, in the top of a tower, except the tide or extraordinarie busines forced the officers to preuent the houre, or to make some small delaie &: stale therof. And presentlie vpon the signe giuen, there was a generall shout made by all the workers: and wheresoeuer anie court was at that instant either emptie or loden, there was it left, till one of the clocke after noone or six of the clocke in the morning, when they returned to their businesse. But by the space of halfe an houre before the flag of libertie was hanged out, all the court driuers entered into a song, whereof although the dittie was barbarous, and the note rusticall, the matter of no moment, & all but a iest: yet is it not vnworthie of some briefe note of remembrance; because the tune or rather the noise thereof was extraordinarie, and (being deliuered with the continuall voice of such a multitude) was verie strange. In diis and some other respect, I will set downe their dittie, the words whereof were tnese:
O Harrie hold vp diy hat, t'is eleuen* a clocke,
and a little, little, litde, past:
My bow is broke, I would vnyoke,
my foot is sore, I can worke no more.
This song was made and set in Romneie marsh, where their best making is making of wals and dikes, and their best setting is to set a needle or a stake in a hedge: howbeit this is a more ciuill call than the brutish call at the theatre for the comming awaie of the plaiers to the stage. I think there was neuer worke attempted with more desire, nor proceeded in widi more contentment, nor executed with greater trauell of workemen, or diligence of officers, nor prouided for with more carefulnesse of commissioners, not with truer accounts or duer paie, nor contriued with more circumspection of the deuisers 30 and vndertakers of the worke, nor ended with more commendation or comfort: sauing that vpon the seuen & twentith of lulie, being S. lames his daie, the verie daie when the crosse wall and the long wall met, and were Joined together, and in effect finished (for both wals were brought aboue the high water marke, and nothing remained to be done of the same but 35 highthening, which might be doone at anie time after) sir Thomas Scot the principal! piller of that worke fell sicke vpon the wals, and was conueied thense in a wagon to his house, where he remained six weeks, more likelie to die than to Hue, whose ladie and wife (being a most vertuous and noble matrone, &: a liuelie paterne of womanhood and sobrietie, the daughter of sir lohn Baker knight, and the mother of seuenteene children) vsed such diligent attendance and continuall care for hir husbands recouerie of heldi, as diereby she brought hir selfe into so weake state of bodie, as being great with two

five or six yeres since at the howse of the sayd Thow^f in ffaufrshame
in the kitchin ther, in the presence of Anthony napleton ye yonger 20
Anthony Napleton the elder deceased william Tomlyn & the wife of
the said Thomas
The wordfj were spoken vpon this occasion, william Tomlyn was
telling of some pane of A a playe, wherin ther was one played the
pane of an huntesman in greene apparell, which person was thought 25
to present the kingw person, to whome another actor sayd that he had
rather heare a dogg barke then a Cannon rore meaning that person
that represented the king, vpon which occasion the sayd Thomas spake

MAidstone was formerly a very prophane Town, insomuch that I have seen Morrice Dancing, Cudgel playing, Stool-ball, Crickets, and many other sports openly and publickly on the Lords Day; I have heard them jeer, and deride, and mock at those who professed Godliness, and went to hear a Sermon on 40

the Lords Day abroad, when they had none at home. Commonly after the Evening Service, many of them went to the Ale-house, many to walk idly in the Fields. It was their constant custom to ply the conduits on the Lords Day, for the drawing of water. The former vain sinful customes of sports were reformed before his coming, but by his preaching he prevailed with them to 5 forebear vain walking, idling at their doors, also to draw their water on Saturday night, which they should have occasion for on the Lords Day. Though the Town was large and full of people, yet you should hardly see one person in the street after the Sermons on the Lords Day, and I have known when the Mayor hath searched the Innes and Ale-lhouses he hath scarce found 10 one of the Town there

BL: Lansdowne MS. 276
ff 187-95* (16 December)
Memorandum that the Barons of the Kings Eschetter send a writt to the Sheriffe of kent Commaunding him by the same to Cause Edward Ryngeley 15 knight Bayliffe of the said Towne to appeare afore them there to make accomptw of his Baylywicke, as other Bayleiffe of ye said Towne hadd done in cymes past at which tyme the said Bayleiffe did not perfectlie knowe of every manner thing that he ought to Accompte for; And therefore he made Search in ye Records of the Exchequer for the Accomptw of othe Bayleiffw 20
aforetymes, by the which he well perceived, and knewe that he was Charged to accompt for divers things which the said maio«r and Jurats have taken wrongfully, and yet doe Receive to theire owne I vse and profitt, That is to saie All the Eschetes and ffynes, fellons good« and Catler, hndes and lastage, All Shippes there amercements, the keeping of the ffayre, and the Attachments 25 of all manner of Persons w/'thin the said Towne, and the profntes of the Beakens in the Haven, wherefore the said Bayleiffe gave Coppies of the said Accompts out of the said Exchequer, and brought them to ye said Maio«r and luratts, and soe Shewed them howe they did the king wronge, praying them that they would abide the Order of Sir Baron Hayles and Sir Christopher 30 Hayles in the Premisses for his discharge, or else he must Complaine vpon them to the Barons of the kings Eschetter att ye making of his Accompte s, or else he must bee falslie forsworne, which he would not be, neither for them, nor for no man; but they would not be soe Contented, yett because he was loth to trouble any of them, he desired them to be Ordered by Szr Gulford 35 their warden, and that they denied; yett after this, before he went I to make his Accompts, he spake to them againe, and desired them to lert two learned men to have the hereing of the same, and badd them to Choose what two diey would in all England, And then the said maiowr and luratte made him plaine

840 SANDWICH 1526-7
Aunswere, that they had Received such things, and soe would they doe whether he would Complaine or noe. And vpon this att making of his Accomptw afore the Barons of the Eschetter he shewed what thing« that he hadd Received to the kings vse, and what thing« ye maiowr and lurattw did wrongefullie receive and withhould to their owne vse and profitt, wherevpon 5 the said Barons of the Eschetter by the Councell of Sir Norwich, Mr Raddall, the king« Serieant« and of Mr Lyster the kingw Attornie did send two Writt« of Subpena vnto lohn Somer and Henry Booll late the Maio«rs of the said Towne, Commaunding them by the same, to come and make Aunswere afore them of the Premisses, but before /that1 any Answere was made die said lohn 10 SomcT hadd Broaken his Necke, and the said I Henrie Booll in his aunswere vtterlie denied the receiveing of any manner of thing aforesaid, Wherevpon« all ye said Barrons of the Eschetter Commaunded die said Bayleiffe to Receive and keepe possession for the King[e] of all the said Premisses, And alsoe did bind the foresaid Henrie in Recognizance that hee should Suffer ye said 15 Bayleiffe soe to doe, vntill such tyme as the matter were determined betwixt ye King and the aforesaid Maio«r and lurattw of ye said Towne, yett not withstanding the said Bayleiffe hath hetherto ben letted to exercise his said office (and put vnto greivious trouble, [and] greate losse and hinderance to his vtter vndoeing) by ye said Henry, and other of his affinitye, as by Certaine 20 Articles ffollowing plainelie doth appeare.
By these Articles ffollowing it doth playnelie appeare that Henry Booll, Vincent Gingeham and Roger Mawhod were the principall advisers and Cheife beginners of ye greate Ryatt and I Rebellion in Sandwych the xvjth 25 daie of december Anno xviij0
ffirst ye said Henrie Rooll being maiowr of ye said Towne the last yeere past next before the great Ryott, was ever vsed to have xvjen or twentie light and wyld persons, which he Called his Beagles, and many nightw he vsed to goe 30 Round aboute the said Towne and his Beagles following him, and he and all they having noe Clothes vponw them but theire doublets and Hosses, and every of them having two or three Billetts in theire hand« hurling att dogg« in the Streete, and knocking downe Signes at mens doores running into their howses, swearing and Staring with maney great OAra]thes to kill and slaye, 35 whoeso durst saye against them, and when they lacked ffyer, they would laye

Item ye said Vyncent was never Regarded with the said Henrie, vntill such 5 time as he became servant vnto the said Henrie and Called him Master about the Towne with a hoppe sacke vponn his backe, following his Saide Master with a greate Companie of vnlawfull assemblies together with him, and inconrynent after this, hee was made, Ellect, and Chosen one of the mayowrs Bretheren lurate and Alderman of the same Towne./. 10
Item the saide Henrie vincent diu^rse tymes sithence the Suite begane have said aswell in Westminster Hall as at home in Sandwich, that they were sure that there would bee mischeiffe and m0r
15
And the said Henrie said plainely that he Cared not for his parte, wA/ch way the lawe did passe, whether it were with him, or against him, for he was sure the Bayleiffe should never be able to gather any thing of him, nor of his, for he could make all the Towne to Ryse art his I whistle, and he wist well that ye king would not Cast all the Towne awaye, for kylling of one man or two / 20
Item the said Henry vincent and Roger, vponn Saint Clements daie last past afore ye said Ryott, (when all the Barons of the kingrv Exchequer had Commaunded ye said S/'r Edward Ryngelie Bayleiffe of the same Towne to gather the king« Tol^ge in the ffayer, in ye said Towne according to the olde 25 Custome) they by theire meanes [and] procurement, and Commaundm^wt Caused one lohn Redd and divers others to the nomber of xxtie Persons, assembled together with swords Bucklers, daggers, Staves and Clubb« to walke vpp and downe the ffayer all that daie Craking and swering to kill and Slay whoesoever durst pr«ume to gather any Penny that daie for the king, 30 and that same night ye said Ryott« daunced aboute the Towne in a morrice daunce with sword« and Bucklers, and the said Henrie went to the Taverne and gave them wynne./
Item the next daie after, in the morning, when the Serieantw of the I said 35 Bayleiffe came vnto die said maiowr and his Bretheren openlie in ye Courte Hall there to Complaine vpon these [dem] misdemeanerd Persons, the said Henrie then being maiowr and vincent did revile him that did Complaine and Called him false knave, and would have hadd him to Prison, saying to him, that hee Complained too late, and his Complaint should nothing avayle him, 40

And then the Bayleiffo Seriant said to them: Masters if yee will see noe redresse in this matter, I will complaine further, and then they did defie him and badd him goe his wayes and doe his worst/
Item within 3. or 4: daies after this was past, the aforesaid henry vincent and 5 Roger with others of their affinitie sent lohn Egylden theireTowne Clerke to london to hearken what Tydingw and what Complaint the Bayleiffe would make thereof vnto the king« Councell, and when he came home againe he brought word vnto the foresaid Henrie Vincent and Roger of the Privy SeaJes, five daies before they were sent downe, and vpon that the aforesaid Henrie 10 vincent and Roger I with others of theire affinitie devised and determined amongst themselves in what manner and wise the foresaid Privy Scales should be Received when they did Come thether./
Item in what manner ye Pryvie Scales were Received my Lord Cardinall and 15 other[s] of the king« Councell have something hard tell, But surelie the Principall Cause that ye said Privy SeaJes should have ben delivered was almost by the meanes and CouncelJ of of the aforesaid Roger, for he said dyvers tymes openlie in the Streete, that he never knewe any man that brought any writts or Commaundmentes into that Towne, but that he was Compelled to eat them, :o and after that throwne into the Haven and bydd drink salt waiter to ytt./
Item the said Henry vincent and Roger by theire Comwon Serieant Commaunded all the Commons of the Towne to Ryse and soe made a greate Ryott, and Caused the Towne gates to be Shutt, and the Church dores 25 to be Locked, soe that the BayleifT« Serieant«, could neither save theire Lyves by Runing a waye nor by takeing of Sanctuarie/
Item the same dale that this greate I Ryott was, it fortunated that the said Henrie to come downe the Streete, and one shewed him one of the kingw 30 Privy Scales, which he Spightfully hurled downe in the myre into the midest of the Channel! of the Streate vnder feete, openlie before the People:/
Item about ix° of the Clocke in the night following!,] this said Ryott, The said Henrie and vincent did gather to gether xviij or xxtie of the Cheiffe Ryotters 35 (blank) to seeke the said Bayleiffe and his Serieantw to have murdered them, and then they went to lohn Huberts howse, and there Called for wine, and the said lohn Huberd said to them, S/rs if yee hadd stricken of my head to daie at noone, as you said you would have done, I could have given you noe wine now, By the Masse said Thomas Iening« if mr Booll speake the word 40 thou shah loose thy head, even by and by: for even as mr Booll sayeth soe

shall it be, for wee all have bin ruled by him, and soe will wee bee, and the said Henrie Vincent and Roger sate by and Comforted him in his saying and laught at him, and there gave them all wyne enough att the same tyme/ I
Item from thence the foresaid henry vincent withall others the said Ryotters went to three or ffower other Howsses all togeather, and dranck and made Lustie Cheere, and after that they went with ye said Henrie Home to his howse and there made merrie, where he made them all a ffree Banckquett on ye best wise that he Could devise and afterwards with a tabber and Pipe playing before them (after ye manner of men of warr) from place to place all 10 the same night where as they went./

Item after this was done and past, the said Henrie and vincent about midnight, by the Councell of the foresaid Roger, went about the Streetes I againe 20 knocking and Calling divers men out of theire bedds, and soe made a newe assemblie Ryott, In what intent [I knowe not] the said Bayleiffe knoweth not, and about rwoe of the Clocke in the Morning they sent forth towards Canterburie lohn Redde, Thomas Mawgod, Thomas lenyns, Robert ffederygie and w'Miam Barber with other moe to the nomber of Ten persons, every of 25 them with Bowe and Arrowes to lye in waytt at Canterbury Townee end to have Slaine the said Bayleiffe and his Serieantw as they Rodd to london./
Item ye said Henrie and vincent, the xxviij1*1 daie of december next after this Ryott, assembled together 3 or iiijxx persons about ix of the Clocke in the 30 night, and made a generall procession round about the Towne with minstrellw and maney light« before them, shouting and singing on this wise, every man that can say his Pater noster, his Aue, and his Creed pray to God for Ryngeley that ill he may speed, and then all the Companie that came after them sange, Amen, as lowde as they could Crye./ 35

Item ye said Roger ma^hod vponn whitson even last past with xvj persons or above with him/ made assault vponw William kemery Serieant to ye said Bayleiffe, and by like would have Slaine him, if that Thomas wyngfeild Comptroller of ye Towne had not saved him, for ye said Roger Cryed and Called soe lowde for more Companie, that ye men that were shooting at the Buttw at the Townes end, made so much hast to come to him, that some of them might not tarry to take theire Arrowes but left them sticking in the Butt behind them./
Item vponn whitsun Even last past ye said Roger picked a quarrell and assaulted on[e] William kemery Serieant to ye said Bayleiffe, and Called an ayde of more Companie so that he assembled together the nomber of 14 or 1 5 persons in notorius manner, and then and there cald the same William false theife, and strucke & put I him in greate feare of his liffe

For some lately aliue in this shyre, haue beene eye witnesses, and did right well remember, that yeerely (vpon Trinitie Sonday) the religious persons of this house did vse to muster themselues in a most solemne marche, and pompous procession: wherein, albeit there wanted neither Coape nor Canapie, crosse nor candlesticke, flagge nor banner, light nor incense, piping nor chaunting, neither yet I any other delightfull glittering that might with the glorie thereof amaze the seely beholder, and rauish him (as it were) into a certeine Papishe heauen: yet to the ende that this Pageant of theirs might be the more plausible (in that it had some thing peculiar to it self) their fashion was, to make the Diuel himselfe to beare a part in this play with them.
For as they passed along in this array, the maner was, that some one (berayed like a Diuell) should offer to inuade the company, as though hee would take the holy Crosse by force from them: Then on the other side, outstepped some
I/ nimis: 8 minims in MS

other bolde man (appointed for the nonce) with a holy water sprinclde in his hande, and hee with all his might flang holy water at him: heerewith, this counterfait Divill must fearfully start backward, for doubt of scalding, &, notwithstanding that he would many times after fare in shew as though he would haue flowne in their faces, yet might hee neuer be so bolde in deede as 5 to approach or come within the fall of any one drop of this water: For, you remember by the olde Prouerbe, how well the Diuell loueth holy water.
And thus (forsoothe) the vertue of holy water (in putting the Diuell to flight) was confirmed at Motindene by a demonstratiue argument. Which if it be so, then greatly was Saint Paule deceaued in the 6. of his epistle to the Ephesians, 10 where he goeth about to arme vs from toppe to toe against the assaultes of the Diuell: For what needed he I good man to recite Sallet, Shield, Sword, and so many other partes of defensiue and inuasiue furniture, when the Holywatersticke alone would haue serued the turne? Or, at the least, what ment hee to omitte that, being a thing so seruiceable, and easily prouided? But wee must giue these 1 5 good fellowes leaue (after their woonted manner) to set the Holy Ghoste to schoole: And yet, by the way, I let them weete, that they cannot, Leonem larua terrere, make a Lion afearde with a visor: It is not their aqua lustralis, their holy water (which they haue fetched from Apolloes pot, and nor from the fountaine of Gods woord) that can make this ramping Lion to turne his backe in earnest. 20 Nay rather, let them beware of this his stratageme, and let them consider, that euen in worldly warrefare men bee neuer in more daunger of the enimie, than when hee feigneth to flie before them.
