| *** It would seem that this list was drawn up at the same time as No. 580 (3 i., ii.) in this volume (see pp. 233–5), as it is on similar paper and in the same handwriting. The two documents, in fact, appear at one time to have been bound up together, and in the seventeenth century they were transcribed as one document by some not very careful antiquary who prefixed to his transcript the very erroneous title:—" A copy of orders taken at the time when king Henry VIII. went to Boulogne, copied out of a book remaining in the Treasury of the Exchequer at Westminster, anno 1612." See Harl. MS. 283, f. 265, B. M. | |

12. [The Northern Rebellion.] |
| An address (fn. 5) to the commons then in rebellion. Proves to them that in rising against evil counsellors of the King, they rebel against the King himself. If they had departed home according to the King's command, they would have shown themselves true subjects; but, raised by some mischievous mad brains whom God will doubtless shortly deliver into the King's hands, to run and send about the realm to raise the people is rebellion. All Christendom and Heathenesse will say, "Behold yonder most noble, most wealthy, and most strong country of England will be destroyed," for Christ says, "that every realm divided within itself shall be desolate." Cites the factions of Marius and Silla and of the generals of the host of Alexander of Macedon after his death by poison. God will take vengeance on them as He did upon Dathan and Abiron unless they return to repentance and cry for mercy to God and their prince. | |
| Begins: "What natural Englishman is he that with himself inwardly doth consider," &c. And after a page of preamble the address itself commences:—"Tell me, good people, tell me good countrymen, what fury of Hell has put in your heads, what madness, &c." Contains many quotations from Scripture, with marginal references to the same. | |
| Pp. 10. Title prefixed on a separate leaf: "A letter sent to the commons that rebell, wherein lovingly is showed to them how they every way rise to their own extreme ruin and destruction." | |
