But withall I was certefyed that now the Prince was gone and I had tooke my leaue, as hee thought, Content with his Promises, hee had giuen order to entercept all the Presentes and to force them to his leskar. I returned that first they should kyll the English that conducted them ; and purposed so soone as I could gett carriadge to remooue to Complayne to the king. Iudge now the feyth of this Prince and my vexation.
