|
---|
58 | was beheaded on Tower Hill.&nbsp; There was as great a company as has been
|
---|
59 | seen... the king's guard being there with their halberds and a thousand
|
---|
60 | more with halberds of the privilege of the Tower, Ratcliffe, Limehouse,
|
---|
61 | Whitechapel, St Katherine's and Stratford Bow, as well as Hoxton and Shoreditch;
|
---|
62 | and the two sheriffs being present there, seeing the execution of my lord,
|
---|
63 | and his head being cut off, and shortly after his body was put into a coffin
|
---|
64 | and carried into the Tower, and there buried in the church, on the northside
|
---|
65 | of the choir of St Peter's, and I beseech God to have mercy on his soul,
|
---|
66 | amen!&nbsp; And there was a sudden rumbling a little before he died, as
|
---|
67 | if it had been guns shooting and great horses coming, so that a thousand
|
---|
68 | fell to the ground for fear, for they who were at one side thought no other
|
---|
69 | but that one was killing another, so that they fell down to the ground,
|
---|
70 | one upon another with their halberds, some fell into the ditch of the Tower
|
---|
71 | and other places, and a hundred into the Tower ditch, and some ran away
|
---|
72 | for fear.
