Harpoole, tell Sir Iohn, that my lord of Rochester comes from the counsel to confer with him. I will sir. I think you may as safe without suspicion, As any man in England as I hear, For it was you most laboured his commitment. I did sir, and nothing repent it I assure you. M. Lieutenant I pray you give us leave, I must confer here with sir Iohn a little. With all my heart my lord. My lord be ruled by me, take this occasion while 'tis offered, and on my life your lordship shall escape. No more I say, peace lest he should suspect it.

My lord of Rochester on good advise, I see my error, but yet understand me, I mean not error in the faith I hold, But error in submitting to your pleasure, Therefore your lordship without more to do. Must be a means to help me to escape. What means? thou heretic? darest thou but lift thy hand against my calling? No not to hurt yond for a thousand pound, Nothing but to borrow your upper garments a little; not a word more, for if you do, you die: peace, for waking the children, there, put them on, dispatch, my lord, the window that goes out into the leads, is sure enough, I told you that before, there, make you ready, i'll convey him after, and bind him surely in the inner room. This is well begun, God send us happy speed, Hard shift you see men make in time of need: Harpoole. Here my Lord, come come away. I marvel that my lord should stay so long. He hath sent to seek us, I dare lay my life. We come in good time, see where he is coming. I beseech you good my lord of Rochester, be favourable to my lord and master. The inner rooms be very hot and close, I do not like this air here in the Tower. His case is hard my lord, you shall safely get out of the Tower, but I will down upon them, in which time get you away. Fellow thou troublest me. Hear me my Lord, hard under Islington wait you my coming, I will bring my Lady ready, with horses to convey you hence. Fellow, go back again unto thy Lord and counsel him. Nay my good lord of Rochester, i'll bring you to S. Albons through the woods, I warrant you. Villain away.
