1First Julian saith, that the wednesday at night after the death of Richard Hun, Charles Joseph her Master came home to his supper: then Julian said to him, Master, it was told me that ye were in prison. Charles answered. It is merry to turn the penny: and after supper Charles trussed up a parcel of his goods, and with help of Julian bare them into Master Porters house to keep: and that done, Charles said to Julian: Julian, if thou wilt be sworn to keep my counsel, I will show thee my mind. Julian answered, yea, if it be neither felony nor treason: Then Charles took a book out of his purse, and Julian sware to him thereupon: then said Charles to Julian, I have destroyed Richard Hun. Alas master, said Julian, how? he was called an honest man. Charles answered, I put a wire in his nose. Alas said Julian, now be ye cast away and undone. Then said Charles, Julian, I trust in thee that thou wilt keep my counsel: and Julian answered, yea, but for Gods sake Master shift for your self: and then Charles said, I had lever then a hundred pound it were not done: but that is done, can not be undone. Moreover, Charles said then to Julian. Upon Sunday when I rode to my cousin Barington's house, I tarried there and made good cheer all day till it was night, and yet before it was midnight, I was in London, and had killed Hun, and upon the next day I rode thither again, and was there at dinner, and sent for neighbours, and made good cheer. Then Julian asked Charles, where set you your horse that night you came to town, and wherefore came ye not home? Charles answered, I came not home for fear of bewraying: and then Julian asked Charles, who was with you at the killing of Hun? Charles answered, I will not tell thee: and Julian saith, that upon the Thursday following, Charles tarried all day, in his house with great fear: and upon Friday following early in the morning before day, Charles went forth (as he said) to Pauls, and at his coming in again he was in a great fear saying hastily, get me my horse & with great fear and haste made him ready to ride, and bade May••er Porters lad lead his horse into the field by the backside: and then Charles put into his sleeve his Maze or Mazer, with other plate borrowed of master Porter, both gold & silver, but how much I am not sure:
