An other time, one of the privy chamber, a great man about the Queen, and chief darling of Stephen Gardiner, named master James Basset, came to Blandebridge, a mile from Woodstock, with 20. or 30. privy coats, and sent for Sir Henry to come and speak with him. But so it happened, a little before, Sir Henry was sent for by Post to the counsel, leaving straight word behind him with his brother, that no man whatsoever he were, though coming with a ⟨p. 276⟩bill of the Queens hand, or any other warrant, should have access to her before his return again. By reason whereof master Benefield's brother coming to him at the bridge,1 would suffer him in no case to approach nigh: who otherwise (as is supposed) was appointed to murder the innocent Lady.
