Cowardise

The word, Tu mihi criminis author (alluding to his Princes commaund) thou art the occasion of my imputed cowardise.

The next day how my master the Gardener sped, I knew not, but the gentle souldier, who was well beaten for his cowardise, lead me to his lodging without the contradiction of any man: Where hee laded me well, and garnished my body (as seemed to me) like an Asse of armes.
