53 | the Queen, I can have no hope of finding pardon.... having given ear to those who at the time appeared not only
|
---|
54 | to myself, but also to the great part of this realm to be wise and now
|
---|
55 | have manifested themselves to the contrary, not only to my and their great
|
---|
56 | detriment, but with common disgrace and blame of all, they having with
|
---|
57 | shameful boldness made to blamable and dishonourable an attempt to give
|
---|
58 | to others that which was not theirs...[and my own] lack of prudence...for
|
---|
59 | which I deserve heavy punishment...it being known that the error imputed
|
---|
60 | to me has not been altogether caused by myself. [The Privy Council]....who
|
---|
61 | with unwontd caresses and pleasantness, did me such reverence as was not
|
---|
62 | at all suitable to my state. He [Dudley] then said that his Majesty had
|
---|
63 | well weighed an Act of Parliament...that whoever should acknowledge the
|
---|
64 | most serene Mary...or the lady Elizabeth and receive them as the true heirs
|
---|
65 | of the crown of England should be had all for traitors...wherefore, in
|
---|
66 | no manner did he wish that they should be heirs of him and of that crown,
|
---|
67 | he being able in every way to disinherit them. And therefore, before his
|
---|
68 | death, he gave order to the Council, that for the honour they owed to him...they
|
---|
69 | should obey his last will...As to the rest, for my part, I know not what
|
---|
70 | the Council had determined to do, but I know for certain that twice during
|
---|
71 | this time, poison was given to me, first in the house of the Duchess of
|
---|
72 | Northumberland and afterwards here in the Tower.... All these I have wished
|
---|
73 | for the witness of my innocence and the disburdening of my conscience.' <p align="center">&nbsp;<p align="center">
