The keeper now being come vnto the house, and perceiuing no light, nor hearing any noyse, straight way suspected the matter:  and returning backward, Iohn Fox standing behind the corner of the house, stepped foorth vnto him:  who perceiuing it to be Iohn Fox, saide, O Fox, what haue I deserued of thee, that thou shouldest seeke my death?  Thou villaine (quoth Fox) hast bene a bloodsucker of many a Christians blood, and now thou shalt know what thou hast deserued at my handes:  wherewith he lift vp his bright shining sword of tenne yeeres rust, and stroke him so maine a blowe, as therewithall his head claue a sunder, so that he fell starke dead to the ground.  Whereupon Peter Vnticaro went in, and certified the rest how the case stood with the keeper:  who came presently foorth, and some with their spits ranne him through, and the other with their glaiues hewed him in sunder, cut off his head, and mangled him so, that no man should discerne what he was.

Then marched they toward the roade, whereinto they entered softly, where were six warders, whom one of them asked, saying, who was there? quoth Fox and his company, all friendes.  Which when they were all within, proued contrary:  for, quoth Fox, my masters, here is not to euery man a man, wherefore looke you play your parts.  Who so behaued themselues in deede, that they had dispatched these sixe quickly.  Then Iohn Fox intending not to be barred of his enterprise, and minding to worke surely in that which he went about, barred the gate surely, and planted a Canon against it.

Then entred they into the Gailers lodge, where they found the keyes of the fortresse and prison by his bed side, and there had they all better weapons.  In this chamber was a chest, wherein was a rich treasure, and all in duckats, which this Peter Vnticaro, and two more, opening, staffed themselues so full as they could, betweene their shirts and their skinne:  which Iohn Fox would not once touch, and sayde, that it was his and their libertie which he sought for, to the honour of his God, and not to make a marte of the wicked treasure of the Infidels.  Yet did these words sinke nothing into their stomakes, they did it for a good intent:  so did Saul saue the fattest Oxen, to offer vnto the Lord, and they to serue their owne turnes.  But neither did Saul scape the wrath of God therefore, neither had these that thing which they desired so, and did thirst after.  Such is Gods iustice.  He that they put their trust in, to deliuer them from the tyrannous hands of their enemies, he (I say) could supply their want of necessaries.

Nowe these eight being armed with such weapons as they thought well of, thinking themselues sufficient champions to encounter a stronger enemie, and coming vnto the prison, Fox opened the gates and doores thereof, and called forth all the prisoners, whom he set, some to ramming vp the gate, some to the dressing vp of a certaine gallie, which was the best in all the roade, and was called the captaine of Alexandria, whereinto some caried mastes, sailes, oares, and other such furniture as doth belong vnto a gallie.
