January 1562



Jan. 3 ?	46. Sir Wm. Appleforth to Sir Wm. Cecil. You were informed that I spoke against the Queen. The truth is that as I and Sir John Hill were walking from the Temple, a man near St. Bride's church called me and told me the news—that a man to be examined by you said the Queen would not live till Christmas, and the old laws should up again in spite of all that would say nay,—and that you sent him to prison. I then went home to Newington, and talking over the fire, told what he said to the men that were before you, thinking no harm. Sir John Hill, serving in Silver Street, St. Oliph's parish was there, and knows the name and dwelling place of the man who told it. I said that an archbishop is above a Queen, because learned men in old times said so. I spoke of tempestuous weather, death, and sickness, because I read it in the prognostication of last year. As to my not loving the Queen nor her laws, I pray for her daily and hourly, and my parishioners can testify that I read the collect for her. I beseech you to send for Sir John Hill to declare the matter.
	With note from Sir W. Cecil to the Bishop of London.
	I have committed to the Gatehouse this confessor, who served at Newington under Mr. Patten by Tottenham. Pray send for and examine Sir John Hill, to come to the speech of the third tale-teller. [1 page. See Dom. Eliz., Vol. XXI., Nos.,3,4]
