nothing with us,' Dick Taverner replied
'You waste your breath, Sir Giles, and your big words will avail you
nothing with us,' Dick Taverner replied. 'Now hear me in return. We, the
bold and loyal "prentices of London, who serve our masters and our
masters" master, the king"s highness, well and truly, will not allow an
unlawful arrest to be made by you or by any other man. And we command
you peaceably to deliver up your prisoner to us; or, by the rood! we
will take him forcibly from your hands!'
