The night afore the ministers & rulers of Angrongne should take their journey, they perceived a company of soldiers going up a hill,1 by the which they of Angrongne should pass, & hid them in houses on the ways side, thinking to take at unawares them of Angrongne, which were sent to treat of the agreement. But they having intelligence of this conspiracy, watched and warded. It was an easy matter as divers thought, that night to have taken the L. of Trinity, and have spoiled his whole camp. But they of Angrongne, and Luserne, would not execute this enterprise,2 least thereby they should offend God, and pass the bounds of their vocation, taking upon them no more but to defend themselves.
