1Then the said William Stevens was again the second time by the said Commissioners sent over into England, & clapped in the tower, & afterward, to wit, immediately after the said Commissioners repair unto the Kings highness, the said Lord Deputy was sent for over,2 & likewise put into the Tower, where he continued a long time. And when the Kings Majesty minded to have been gracious unto him, & to have let him come forth, God took him out of this world, whose body resteth in the Tower, & his soul with God, I trust,3 in heaven, for he died very repentant. But the wicked Lady his wife immediately upon his apprehension, fell distraught of mind, & so continued many years after. God for his mercy, if she yet live, give her his grace to repent.
