After theire metinge and shorte speking to gethr she asked him of his lr̃es, wherein he complained of the cruelltye of som.
He aunswered yt he complained not wthowt cause and as he beleved, she woulde graunte her sellfe when she was well advised.
She asked him of hys sicknesse, he answered yt 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 yow onelye yt wille not accepte mye offres and repentaunce, I confesse yt I haue failed in som thingᕦ, and yet greater fautes haue bin made to yow sundrye times, wch 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 wch I am verye destitute falle twise or thrise, and yet repent and be chastised bye experience? Yf I haue made anye faile yt ye but thinke a faile, howe so ever it be, I crave yor ᵱdone and protest yt I shall never faile againe. I desire no othr thinge but yt we maye be to geathr as husband and wife. And yf ye will not consent hereto, I desire never to rise forthe of thys bed. Therefore I praye yow give me an aunswer here vnto. God knowethe howe I am punished for makinge mye god of yow and for having no othr thowght but on yow. And yf at anie tyme I offend yow, ye are the cause, for yt whẽ anie offendethe me, if for mye refuge I might open mye minde to yow, 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 yt 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 yt he had spokē wt thenglishe mã but not of minde to goe awaie wt him. And if he had, it had not bin wthowt cause consideringe howe he was vsed. For he had neathr to susteine him sellfe nor hys servantᕦ, and nede not make farder rehersalle thereof, seinge she knewe it as well as he.
Then she asked him of the purpose of Hegate, he aunswered yt it was tolde him.
She required howe and bye whome it was told him.
He aunswered yt the L. of Minto tolde him yt a lr̃e was presented to her in Cragmiller made bye her own divise and subscribed by certeine others who desired her to subscribe the same, wch she refused to doe. And he said that he woulde never thinke yt she who was his owne propre fleshe, woulde do him anie hurte, and if anie othr woulde do it, theye shuld bye it dere, vnlesse theye took him sleping, albeit he suspected none. So he desired her effectuouslye to beare him companye. For she ever fownde som adoe to drawe her selfe frõ him to her owne lodginge and woulde never abyde wt him past two howres at once.
She was verye pensiffe. Whereat he fownd faulte he said to her yt he was advrtised she had browght a litter wt her.
