my Lords why have you gone this is the warrant for your arrest you are charged with committing adultery with Mark Smeaton Sir Henry Norris and William Breton both Smeaton and Brereton have already confessed their guilt we have come at the king's command to conduct you to the tower there to abide during His Majesty's pleasure if it be his Majesty's pleasure then I am ready to obey lady shall there is no time to change your clothes or pack any of your things honey will be provided for your need to the tower my Lords I thank you before you go to beseech the Kings grace to be good to me madam this way I pray you I pray God will help me for there is no truth in these allegations this way I am the Kings true wedded wife I'm not guilty of these charges I am as free from the company of man as I am from sin do I go in a dungeon mr. Kingston no madam there are lodgings made ready for you it's too good for me Jesus of mercy on me may I have the Holy Sacrament placed in my room so I make way for mercy master Kingston my lady my lady I cannot tell you that the King has decreed that you will not be banned but suffer a quicker death by decapitation in His mercy the King has also acceded to your plea to use the services of the executioner of Calais who is even now on his way here from Dover when they made you die at nine o'clock I'm content will you please send for Archbishop Cranmer sir he may hear my last confession and administer Holy Communion my lady master Kingston tell me how is the lady truthfully in the early days of her captivity she often spoke rather wildly for example that it would not rain until she was released but now according to our our mana preparations for death have increasingly occupied her thoughts and so I believe she has reconciled to it I'm glad although it grieves me that I must cause her father pain now since my time approaches I beg your grace to hear my confession also I should like the constable present when I receive the good Lord madam my child do you have a confession yes I confess my innocence before God I solemnly swear on the damnation of my soul that I have never been unfaithful to my Lord and husband nor ever offended with my body against him I do not say that I have always borne towards him the humility which I owed him considering his kindness and the great honour he showed me and the great respect he always paid me I admit to that I have often taken it into my head to be jealous of him but God knows and is my witness I have not sinned against him in any other way I think not I say this in the hope to prolong my life God has taught me how to die and he will strengthen my faith as for my brother and those others who were unjustly condemned I would willingly have suffered many deaths to deliver them but since I see it pleases the King I will willingly accompany them in death with this assurance but I shall lead an endless life with them in peace Oh Master Kingston please go and make sure to report my lady's true and last confession to the world know it I will mr. CREB do not suppose that even at this last hour the evangelical bishops that we put in place might intervene for me just here no I understand how could they forgive me
