[400] “Kendall and Quyntrell were as arrant traitors as any within the realm, leaning to and favouring the advancement of that traitor Henry, Marquis of Exeter, nor letting nor sparing to speak to a great number of the king’s subjects in those parts that the said Henry was heir-apparent, and should be king, and would be king, if the King’s Highness proceeded to marry the Lady Anne Boleyn, or else it should cost a thousand men’s lives. And for their mischievous intent to take effect, they retained divers and a great number of the king’s subjects in those parts, to be to the lord marquis in readiness within an hour’s warning.”—Sir Thomas Willoughby to Cromwell: MS. Cotton. Titus, B 1.
