It was not long after this, but the king hearing of the dangerous state wherein she yet still remained: came unto her himself. Unto whom, after that she had uttered her grief,1 fearing lest his majesty (she said) had taken displeasure with her, and had utterly forsaken her: he like a loving husband with sweet and comfortable words so refreshed & appeased her careful mind, that she upon the same began somewhat to recover, and so the king after he had tarried there about the space of an hour, departed.

After this the Queen remembering with her self the words that M. Wendy had said unto her, devised how by some good opportunity she might repair to the kings presence. And so first commanding her ladies to convey away their books, which were against the law, the next night following after supper, she (waited upon only by the lady Harbert her sister and the Lady Lane, who carried the candle before her) went unto the kings bed chamber, whom she found sitting and talking with certain Gentlemen of his chamber. Whom when the king did behold, very courteously he welcomed her, and breaking of the talk, which before her coming he had with the Gentlemen aforesaid, began of himself, contrary to his manner before accustomed to enter into talk of religion, seeming as it were, desirous to be resolved by the Queen of certain doubts which he propounded.
