Then she com̃aunded me to holde mye peace.
The Wordes y
I rememb
were betwixt the Kinge and the Q. in Glasco when she took him awaie to Edinbrowghe.
The Kinge for y
mye L. hys father was then absent and sicke, bye reason whereof he could not speke w
him him sellfe, called me vnto him and theise wordes that had then passed betwixt him and the Quene, he gaue me in remembraunce to reporte vnto the said mye Lord hys father.
After theire metinge and shorte speking to geth
she asked him of his lr̃es, wherein he complained of the cruelltye of som.
He aunswered y
he complained not w
owt cause and as he beleved, she woulde graunte her sellfe when she was well advised.
She asked him of hys sicknesse, he answered y
she was the cause thereof, and moreover he saide, Ye asked me What I ment bye the crueltye specified in mye lr̃es, yt procedeth of yo
onelye y
wille not accepte mye offres and repentaunce, I confesse y
I haue failed in som thingᕦ, and yet greater fautes haue bin made to yo
sundrye times, w
ye haue forgiuē. I am but yonge, and ye will saye ye haue forgiuē me diverse tymes. Maye not a man of mye age for lacke of Counselle, of w
I am verye destitute falle twise or thrise, and yet repent and be chastised bye experience? Yf I haue made anye faile y
ye but thinke a faile, howe so ever it be, I crave yo
ᵱdone and protest y
I shall never faile againe. I desire no oth
thinge but y

as husband and wife. And yf ye will not consent hereto, I desire never to rise forthe of thys bed. Therefore I praye yo
give me an aunswer here vnto. God knowethe howe I am punished for makinge mye god of yo
and for having no oth
thowght but on yo

, ye are the cause, for y
whẽ anie offendethe me, if for mye refuge I might open mye minde to yo
, I woulde speak to no other, but whē anie thinge ys spokē to me, and ye and I not beinge as husband and wife owght to be, necessite compelleth me to kepe it in my breste and bringethe me in suche melancolye as ye see me in.
She aunswered y
it semed him she was sorye for hys sicknesse, and she woulde finde remedye therefore so sone as she might.
She asked him Whye he woulde haue passed awaye in Thenglishe shipp.
He aunswered y
he had spokē w
thenglishe mã but not of minde to goe awaie w
him. And if he had, it had not bin w
owt cause consideringe howe he was vsed. For he had neath
to susteine him sellfe nor hys servantᕦ, and nede not make farder rehersalle thereof, seinge she knewe it as well as he.

She required howe and bye whome it was told him.
He aunswered y
