ter, the other by Land; so that the one knew not of the others Apprehension: The _15th._ day of _January_ next following, he was arraigned at Guildhall, _London_, where the greatest matter alledged against him, was, for bearing certain Arms that were said belonged to the King and Prince; the bearing whereof he justified. To be short, (for so they were with him) he was found guilty by twelve common Juriars, had Judgment of Death; and upon the _19th_ day of the said Month (nine days before the Death of the said King _Henry_, was beheaded at _Tower-Hill_) He was at first interred in the Chappel of the Tower, and afterwards, in the Reign of King _James_, his Remainders of Ashes and Bones were removed to _Framingham_ in _Suffolk_, by his second Son _Henry_ Earl of _Northampton_, where in the Church they were interred, with this Epitaph; Henrico Howardo, Thomae _Secundi Ducis_ Norfolciae _filio primogenito_, Thomae _tertij Patri, Comiti_ Surriae, _& Georgiani Ordinis Equiti Aurato, immature Anno Salutis 1546, abrepto.

Which nevertheless he had like to have lost about the Business of Queen _Anne Bullein_; but by his Innocency, Industry and Prudence, he extricated himself. He was one of admirable ingenuity, and truly answer'd his Anagram, _Wiat_, a Wit, the judicious Mr. _Cambden_ saith he was. _Eques Auratus splendide doctus_. And though he be not taken notice of by _Bale_ nor _Pits_, yet for his admirable Translation of _David's_ Psalms into _English_ Meeter, and other Poetical Writings, _Leland_ forbears not to compare him to _Dante_ and _Petrarch_, by giving him this large commendation. _Bella suum merito jactet_ Florentia Dantem _Regia_ Petrarchae _carmina_ Roma _probat_, _H
