Vppon Ffriday laste, beinge the 5th of this Januarie 1564, we called Sir Henry Radecliff, Capiteyne Girton and Capen. Dellves, with their bands now to be casshed, before vs, requiringe of those Capens. (in the hering of the soldiours) the deliverie of perfect billes of reckninges as beforesaide, who then (as at all tymes before) refused so to doo. And thereon we dischardged theim presently out of waags and saide to the soldiours in their heeringe, 'go every one of yow which haue not a perfict bill of reckninge allready delivered from your severall capiteignes, and humbly and reverently requier bylls and recknings of theim, whiche yf they refuse to gyve come ye back to vs and, vppon your othe and other inquyrie made among {MS folio 60r} your sellues, ye shall euery one of yow receive present payments, wherein if ye who be capteynes shall happen to loose any thinge it muste be deyned to be loste in your owne defaults and follye. And if the Queene's Matie shallbe by your willfull delayes driven to loose ought we will lay it on your necks'. And we then saide thus muche more to the soldiours in the capiteignes heeringe, 'yf any of yow will refuse to come to take paye we will dischardge him presently out of waags, and drive him to seeke it, and to come by it, afterward, how he can vppon good proofe of his service'. Sayenge further to theim altogeither 'we will now presently ende the matter of casshinge of theim which be now to be dischardged and cutt of her Mat's daylie groweng great chardgs, heitherto prolonged by thies willfull delayes and obstynance of yow the capiteynes', and so we will indede ende this matter out of hande in the order before expressed, whiche in myne oppinion is the onely waye (whatsoever hathe bene, or shallbe, wrytten or saide to the contrary) as well to make the Quene's Matie vnderstande the difference betwene theim who haue serued here trewlie, and the craftye dealers, as to stay the payment of sondry sommes of money, which by any other way of tryall or offer yet made by the capiteynes would haue bene caryed awaye in a clowde to her Mat's great losse.
