The Life of King Henry the Eight.
212Norf. Be aduis'd;
213Heat not a Furnace for your foe so hot
216And lose by ouer-running: know you not,
217The fire that mounts the liquor til't run ore,
223Buck. Sir,
224I am thankfull to you, and Ile goe along
225By your prescription: but this top-proud fellow,
226Whom from the flow of gall I name not, but
227From sincere motions, by Intelligence,
228And proofes as cleere as Founts in Iuly, when
229Wee see each graine of grauell; I doe know
230To be corrupt and treasonous.
233As shore of Rocke: attend. This holy Foxe,
234Or Wolfe, or both (for he is equall rau'nous
236As able to perform't) his minde, and place
237Infecting one another, yea reciprocally,
238Only to shew his pompe, as well in France,
242Did breake ith'wrenching.
244Buck. Pray giue me fauour Sir: This cunning Cardinall
245The Articles o'th'Combination drew
247As he cride thus let be, to as much end,
248As giue a Crutch to th'dead. But our Count-Cardinall
249Has done this, and tis well: for worthy Wolsey
250(Who cannot erre) he did it. Now this followes,
251(Which as I take it, is a kinde of Puppie
252To th'old dam Treason) Charles the Emperour,
253Vnder pretence to see the Queene his Aunt,
254(For twas indeed his colour, but he came
256His feares were that the Interview betwixt
257England and France, might through their amity
258Breed him some preiudice; for from this League,
259Peep'd harmes that menac'd him. Priuily
260Deales with our Cardinal, and as I troa
261Which I doe well; for I am sure the Emperour
262Paid ere he promis'd, whereby his Suit was granted
263Ere it was ask'd. But when the way was made
264And pau'd with gold: the Emperor thus desir'd,
266And breake the foresaid peace. Let the King know
269And for his owne aduantage.
271To heare this of him; and could wish he were
272Somthing mistaken in't.
274I doe pronounce him in that very shape
275He shall appeare in proofe.
276Enter Brandon, a Sergeant at Armes before him, and
277two or three of the Guard.
279Sergeant. Sir,
280My Lord the Duke of Buckingham, and Earle
281Of Hertford, Stafford and Northampton, I
283Of our most Soueraigne King.
284Buck. Lo you my Lord,
288To see you tane from liberty, to looke on
290You shall to th'Tower.
291Buck. It will helpe me nothing
292To plead mine Innocence; for that dye is on me
293Which makes my whit'st part, black. The will of Heau'n
294Be done in this and all things: I obey.
295O my Lord Aburgany: Fare you well.
297Is pleas'd you shall to th'Tower, till you know
298How he determines further.
300The will of Heauen be done, and the Kings pleasure
301By me obey'd.

303The King, t'attach Lord Mountacute, and the Bodies
304Of the Dukes Confessor, Iohn de la Car,
305One Gilbert Pecke, his Councellour.
307These are the limbs o'th'Plot: no more I hope.
308Bra. A Monke o'th'Chartreux.
309Buck. O Michaell Hopkins?
310Bra. He.
311Buck. My Surueyor is falce: The ore-great Cardinall

316Scena Secunda.
317Cornets. Enter King Henry, leaning on the Cardinals shoul-
318der, the Nobles, and Sir Thomas Louell: the Cardinall
319places himselfe vnder the Kings feete on
320his right side.

323Of a full-charg'd confederacie, and giue thankes
