ABSTRACT

That shortly after the Earl married her, viz. the first or second night, Amptil came unto the bed’s-side whilst she and her husband were in bed, and the Lord Audley spake lasciviously to her, and told her that now her body was his, and that if she lov’d him she must love Amptil and that if she lay with any other man with his consent, it was not her fault but his, and that if it was his will to have it so, she must obey and do it.
