Where ye declare that thoccasyon of being able to levie so fewe in Somersetshire is the evill inclynation of the people, and that there are amongs them that do not styck openly to speak such traterous words agaynst the kyng and in favour of the trayterous rebells. Ye shall hang two or three of them, and cause them to be executed lyke traytors. And that wilbe the only and the best staye of all those talks.
