The Life and Reign of King Edward VI

At this time the seditious lived by rapine and ruine of all the country, omitting nothing of that which savages enraged in the height of their unruly behaviour doe commit, but the Citizens driven to great distresse for want of vicuales, bread they made of coursest branne moulded in cloathes, for that otherwise it would not cleave together. Their finest flesh was of their owne horses, especially for 12 daies they endured most extreame famine. During this time they were much encouraged by an aged cittizen, who brought forth all his provisions and said, that as hee did communicate unto them his store, so would he participate of their wants. And that for his part he would feed on the one arme and fight with the other before he would consent to put the citty into the seditious hands. Herewith the Lord privy Seale for want of power to performe any services, was about to rise and returne to London. But in good time the Lord Gray came to him with supply of forces most Almane horsemen, and with him came Spinola with his band of Italians consisting of 300 shot, purposed for Scotland, also 200 men were sent unto him from Reading, so being in all not much above 1000 strong, he made head against the seditious.
