May it please your grace to give release Unto such ancient Bishops that have lost their Honours in the church affairs. Such pity as the law allows to Traitors. What Son to obey his Father proves a Traitor, Must buy their disobedience with their death. Allow it Lords, we have cause To thank our God, that such a mighty Prince as Philip is, Son to the Emperor, Heir to wealthy Spain, and many spacious Kingdoms, will vouchsase — To grace our mighty Sovereign with his honourable Title. I do, what then? W at you are too hight. Then I say, we have cause to thank our God, That such a mighty Prince will look so low, As to respect this Island and our Queen. Has not the Kings of England (good Sir Thomas) Espoused the Daughters of our Neighbour Kings? 'Tis love great Queen, no policy at all. My Lord of Norfolk, will it please you fit By you the noble Lord of Arundel, Since it hath pleased her sacred Majesty, To nominate us here Commissioners: Let us without all partiality be open eared, To what they can : where's the Lieutenant of the Tower?

Plot summary
Plot — The Famous History of Sir Thomas Wyatt
The King of England is dying. Northumberland and Suffolk conspire to disinherit his sister, Mary, in favour of Suffolk’s daughter, the reluctant Lady Jane Grey. When news arrives of the King’s death, they have her proclaimed Queen. Sir Thomas Wyatt, refusing to be a party to this, leaves court, and brings the news to Mary, who is living in frugal retirement. Northumberland and Suffolk raise an army against Mary, but Wyatt and the Lord Treasurer speak in the Council for a legal succession in accordance with the will of King Henry VIII. Mary is proclaimed Queen in London, and Lady Jane and her husband Guildford Dudley are arrested. Northumberland is ordered to discharge his troops and come to court, and is arrested. Suffolk is on the run. His servant, Holmes, brings him food, but also brings the Sheriff to arrest him. Holmes is paid well, but later strangles himself in remorse. Queen Mary begins to make fiscal arrangements, and reneges on her promise not to make any alteration in state religion: she plans to restore the Roman Catholic church. She also plans to marry Philip of Spain, contrary to the laws established by her father. Northumberland is executed. Disgusted at the prospect of Spanish infiltration, Wyatt raises rebellion in Kent. Part of Norfolk’s army defects to Wyatt on nationalist grounds, but when Pembroke bars the gates of London against him, his supporters slink away and he is arrested. Jane and Guildford are tried, and declare their innocence; Guildford notes that the commissioners were originally supporters of Northumberland in his attempt to influence the succession, and accuses them of hypocrisy. Though several commissioners want to seek clemency, the Bishop of Winchester sentences them to traitors’ deaths. Wyatt is taken to execution. Jane and Guildford are to die together; Jane is beheaded first. Guildford faints as he is taken away, but recovers to see her severed head, and is taken to the block.
