Excerpt: ...had tolde this to thise foure false traytours, thenne shewde he them lettres, that plesyd moche to Bruyn; there in were wreton xii. c., of Ysegryms lignage by name, withoute the beres, the foxes, the cattes, and the dasses. All thise had sworn, that wyth the first messager that shold come for them, they shold be redy, and come for to helpe the bere, yf they had their wages a moneth to fore. This aspyed I; I thanke G-od.
