Holinshed 's Account of a Workmen's Song from Dover STC: 13569

p 1546 30

...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

DOVER 1582-3

475

The flag of
libertic.

• Or six

A commendation
of them which
wrought ot had
anie charge
about Douer
works.

Sir Thomas
Scot fell sicke in
Douer works.

"The death of
the ladie Scot.

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

476 DOVER 1582-5

children, she fell sicke; and after hir vntimelie trauell, being deliuered of a
sonne and a daughter, she ended hir mortall life.

This sickness of sir Thomas Scot, and that which fell out therevpon, was
no small discomfiture to him and all his. And the workmen at Douer made
such mone for his sicknesse, and also for his absence, that euerie street was 5
replenished with sorrow and greefe; and the people would be comforted with
nothing more, nor anie waie be better incouraged to worke lustilie, than to be
told that sir Thomas Scot was well recouered, and would shortlie be amongst
them againe. And in truth, they translated their barbarous musicke into a
sorrowfull song, and in steed of calling to Harrie for their dinner, they called 10
to God for die good health and returne of their best freend sir Thomas Scot,
and that with a generall and continuall outcrie, euen in their old accustomed
tune &: time —

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

you would take their cause in to harty considerac/on, w/thout a preface.
Sir, all that wish well to Sion heer, giue you many thanks for yowr zeale & 40

MAidstone was formerly a very prophane Town, insomuch that I have seen

openly and publickly on the Lords Day; I have heard them jeer, and deride,

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

A Suit by the King and his Bailiff against the Mayor and Jurats 10

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

5/ the Mayer: John VCestcfyff 24/ lastage: c corrected over g

20/ othe: for other

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

vponn the ffyer 3: or 4: ffaggottw at once, and Cast twoe or three peniworth
of Butter among them, for theire pleasure, and whosoeuer durst saye, that they
did [a] amisse, should to prison, or els be put in loptrdie to loose his liffe./l

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

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

12/ Henrie vincent: for Henry and vincent 3 1/ Ryottw: for Ryotters

842 SANDWICH 1526-7

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 ye Banquett was done and past at ye said vincentw (blank) maney
of ye foresaid Ryotters Coming downe ye Streete by the Howse of the said
Bayleiffe, they Called and Cryed for Ladders to assault the said howse, and 15
swore that the Bayleiffe was within, and soe brake his glasse windowes all in
peeces to the damage of xxxiij s. and iiij d./

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 dyvers night« after this, the I said Henrie and vincent did assemble
together Certaine light persons to the nombdr of xij or xiiij at a tyme goeing
aboute the Streates from one howse to another Seeking and Serching for ye
said Bayleiffe and his Serieantw to have hurt and beaten them, 40

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

Item at ye Court of shipway in lulij last past, when that one lohn Read and
Thomas lenyns were put to execution, The said Bayleiffe according to the
Commaundeiruw of all the Barons of the king« Exchequer, sent his deputie
to Sandwich there to cease the good« of ye said lohn and Thomas to ye kingw
vse and soe he did, and incontinent after that, the foresaid Vincent Ingraham 20
Came thether with xij or xiij whoe Riotuouslie manessing and Swearing diat
the bayleiffe nor no man for him should meddle with nothing there neither
for ye king« vse, nor for the Queenes vse, But said plainely, that he would
lett it, and soe bad tell him/

Item the said Vincent Engrham that same night following and divers other
nights after that, did raise and assemble together Certaine of his affinitie, which
he nowe Calleth his whelpw and watched and saught the said Bayliffe his
Serieanttt, In what intent I knowe not, die said Baylie Cannot perfectly tell./

Item divers and honest men of the same towne would have Complained vpon
the foresaid Henrie Booll, Vincent Engr/a ham and Roger I Marzhod both at
the Court of Shepway and afore ye kingw Councell here-in likewise, but they
were stopped by straight Commandmfwtw and greate Threatningw, or else
by Inprisonm<7n and setting in the Stocks, soe that nowe every man in the 35
Towne is afraid to tell the truth of theire misdemeanour in the Premisses/

Item the said Henrie, Vincent and Roger Caused one lohn Parysch of

Item divers tymes and after that, ye said lohn Road, Thomas lenyns, [and]
lohn Parrish, Robert ffedregay and lohn wyld with divers others had
Comitted and done the Burglay (blank) The said vincent Henry, and Roger
knowing them to have done the same, did Confesse themselves to be 10

partakers and doers of them and kept Companie with them, I and Retayned
them in the deed, and gave them money for their labowr, biding them feare
nothing, for it was theire deed as well as theires/

Item the said Henry Vincent and Roger with other of their affmitie the xiiijth 15
dale of lune last past, when that the Bayleiffo Officer by the CommaundemtTzt
of the Barons of the kingw Exchequer had entred and taken possession for ye

Pomfrett riotuouslie did disenter him againe by force, making their Boast«
that they hadd disentred the king, and the said Henrie amazed & threatned ye
said Officer swearing that he should surelie die for that same one daie/

Item furthermore besides all this, the foresaid Henrie, Vincent & Roger made 25
dyvers assaults and ffrayes as well vponn ye serieant of ye said Bayleiffe
manusing and threatening both him and them with soe many great and
greivous Oathes, insoemuch that ye said Bayleiffe could not come 1 vnto his

Early 16th century

William Lambarde, A Perambulation of Kent STC:

pp 333-5

15176

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

MOTTENDEN Early 16th century / WYE 1447/8

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.
