13821000King. Cold newes indeed Lord Somerset,

13831001But Gods will be done.

13841002Yorke. Cold newes for me, for I had hope of France,

13851003Euen as I haue of fertill England.

13941007Vnlesse thou proue more loyall then thou art,

13951008We do arrest thee on high treason here.

13971010Nor change my countenance for thine arrest,

14011011Whereof am I guiltie, who are my accusers?

14021012York. Tis thought my lord, your grace tooke bribes from France,

14041013And stopt the soldiers of their paie,

14051014By which his Maiestie hath lost all France.

14061015Humph. Is it but thought so, and who are they that thinke so?

14101016So God helpe me, as I haue watcht the night

14111017Euer intending good for England still,

14121018That penie that euer I tooke from France,

14141019Be brought against me at the iudgement day.

14081020I neuer robd the soldiers of their paie,

14151021Many a pound of mine owne propper cost

14171022Haue I sent ouer for the soldiers wants,

14161023Because I would not racke the needie Commons.

14211024Car. In your Protectorship you did deuise

14221025Strange torments for offendors, by which meanes

14231026England hath bene defamde by tyrannie.

14241027Hum. Why tis wel knowne that whilst I was protector

14251028Pitie was all the fault that was in me,

14281029A murtherer or foule felonous theefe,

14291030That robs and murthers silly passengers,

14311031I tortord aboue the rate of common law.

14331032Suffolk. Tush my Lord, these be things of no account,

14341033But greater matters are laid vnto your charge,

14361034I do arrest thee on high treason here,

14371035And commit thee to my good Lord Cardinall,

14381036Vntill such time as thou canst cleare thy selfe.

14391037King. Good vnkle obey to his arrest,
