Since Englands Deliverances (noted in The Churches Conquest, §. 93.) were printed, I found a remarkable one omitted, which I had rather should be here set out of place, then not set down at all. Mr. Camden thus relates it.

Out of the smothered fire of the rebellion in the North, there brake forth as it were out of the embers, a new flame, at Naworth in Cumberland near the wall of Severus, called Picts Wall: kindled by Leonard Dacres second son to William Lord Dacres of Gillesland. This Leonard Dacres (when the Lord Dacres his Nephew by his elder brother died) stomacked much that so goodly an inheritance was come by law to his Nieces (whom the Duke of Norfolk their father in law had betrothed to his sons) and commenced suit against them: which, when it proceeded not according to his desire, he fell to plotting and practicing with the Rebels. But when they had taken up the banners of Rebellion sooner then he thought, and were proclaimed Enemies to their Country, whiles he was at Court, he was admitted to salute the Queen, tendering her his best service against the Rebels, and in that respect was sent home again. By the way (as was found afterwards) he imparted counsels with them by Messengers that went between him and them: and encouraged them, promising great matters from the Ambassadors of foreign Princes: and amongst other things, that he (having levied men in the Queens name) would make away the Lord Scroope Warden of the West March, and the Bishop of Carlisle: which when he could not effect, he sent letters of Commendations after the Earls that were flying to the Scots, seized upon the Castle of Greistoke and other houses belonging to the Dacres, fortified the Castle of Naworth as his own inheritance, and under colour of defending his own and resisting the Rebels, gathered together 3000 of the Rank-riders of the borders, and some others which were most devoted to the Dacres, ⟨p. 434⟩
