But the Earl's army no sooner drew near than cries of "Long live King Henry!" from Montagu's camp announced his treason.
Edward Montagu's man, did come to him from his master with some of the Clerks of the Exchequer, for my Lord to sign to their books for the Embassy money; which my Lord very civilly desired not to do till he had spoke with his master himself.
