Say not treasonous. To th' King I'll say't, & make my vouch as strong As shore of Rock: attend. This holy Fox, Or Wolf, or both (for he is equal ravenous As he is subtle, and as prone to mischief, As able to performed) his mind, and place Infecting one another, yea reciprocally, Only to show his pomp, as well in France, As here at home, suggests the King our Master To this last costly Treaty: Th' interview, That swallowed so much treasure, and like a glass Did break i'th' wrenching. Faith, and so it did. Pray give me favour Sir: This cunning Cardinal The Articles o' th' Combination drew As himself pleased; and they were ratified As he cried thus let be, to as much end, As give a Crutch to th' dead. But our Count-Cardinall Has done this, and 'tis well: for worthy Wolsey (Who cannot err) he did it. Now this follows, (Which as I take it, is a kind of Puppy To th' old dam Treason) Charles the Emperor, Under pretence to see the Queen his Aunt, (For 'twas indeed his colour, but he came To whisper Wolsey) here makes visitation, His fears were that the Interview betwixt England and France, might through their amity Breed him some prejudice; for from this League, Peeped harms that menaced him. Privily Deals with our Cardinal, and as I troa Which I do well; for I am sure the Emperor Paid ere he promised, whereby his Suit was granted Ere it was asked. But when the way was made And paved with gold: the Emperor thus desired, Tha he would please to alter the Kings course, And break the foresaid peace. Let the King know (As soon he shall by me) that thus the Cardinal Does buy and sell his Honour as he pleases, And for his own advantage. I am sorry To hear this of him; and could wish he were Something mistaken in't. No, not a syllable: I do pronounce him in that very shape He shall appear in proof. Your Office Sergeant: execute it. Sir, My Lord the Duke of Buckingham, and Earl Of Hertford, Stafford and Northampton, I Arrest thee of High Treason, in the name Of our most Sovereign King. Lo you my Lord, The net has fall'n upon me, I shall perish Under device, and practise: I am sorry, To see you ta'en from liberty, to look on The business present. 'tis his Highness' pleasure You shall to th' Tower. It will help me nothing To plead mine Innocence; for that die is on me Which makes my whitest part, black. The will of Heaven Be done in this and all things: I obey. O my Lord Aburgany: Far you well. Nay, he must bear you company. The King Is pleased you shall to th' Tower, till you know How he determines further. As the Duke said, The will of Heaven be done, and the King's pleasure By me obeyed.

Say not treaſonous. To th' King Ile ſay't, & make my vouch as ſtrong As ſhore of Rocke: attend. This holy Foxe, Or Wolfe, or both (for he is equall rau'nous As he is ſubtile, and as prone to miſchiefe, As able to perform't) his minde, and place Infecting one another, yea reciprocally, Only to ſhew his pompe, as well in France, As here at home, ſuggeſts the King our Maſter To this laſt coſtly Treaty: Th' enteruiew, That ſwallowed ſo much treaſure, and like a glaſſe Did breake ith' wrenching.

Priuily Deales with our Cardinal, and as I troa Which I doe well; for I am ſure the Emperour Paid ere he promis'd, whereby his Suit was granted Ere it was ask'd. But when the way was made And pau'd with gold: the Emperor thus deſir'd, Tha he would pleaſe to alter the Kings courſe, And breake the foreſaid peace. Let the King know (As ſoone he ſhall by me) that thus the Cardinall Does buy and ſell his Honour as he pleaſes, And for his owne aduantage. I am ſorry To heare this of him; and could wiſh he were Somthing miſtaken in't. No, not a ſillable: I doe pronounce him in that very ſhape He ſhall appeare in proofe.

The King Is pleas'd you ſhall to th' Tower, till you know How he determines further. As the Duke ſaid, The will of Heauen be done, and the Kings pleaſure By me obey'd.
