1These and such other kinds of Winchesters flattering phrases, marvellously whetted the king both to anger and displeasure towards the Queen, and also to be jealous and mistrustful of his own estate. For the assurance whereof Princes use not to be scrupulous to do any thing. Thus then Winchester with his flattering words, seeking to frame the kings disposition after his own pleasure, so far crept into the king at that time, and with doubtful fears he with other his fellows, so filled the kings mistrustful mind, that before they departed the place, the king (to see belike what they would do,) had given commandment, with warrant to certain of them made for that purpose, to consult together about the drawing of certain articles against the Queen, wherein her life might be touched: which the king by their persuasions pretended to be fully resolved not to spare, having any rigour or colour of law to countenance the matter. With this commission they departed for that time from the king, resolved to put their pernicious practise to as mischievous an execution.
