One is for Maister Bennet Hatch , That burned Grimstone , walls and thatch . One for Sir Oliver Oates , That cut Sir Harry Shelton 's throat . Sir Daniel , ye shull have the fourt ; We shall think it fair sport . Ye shull each have your own part , A blak arrow in each blak heart . Get ye to your knees for to pray : Ye are ded theeves , by yea and nay ! `` JON AMEND-ALL of the Green Wood , And his jolly fellaweship . `` Item , we have mo arrowes and goode hempen cord for otheres of your following . '' `` Now , well-a-day for charity and the Christian graces ! '' cried Sir Oliver , lamentably . `` Sirs , this is an ill world , and groweth daily worse . I will swear upon the cross of Holywood I am as innocent of that good knight 's hurt , whether in act or purpose , as the babe unchristened . Neither was his throat cut ; for therein they are again in error , as there still live credible witnesses to show . '' `` It boots not , sir parson , '' said Bennet . `` Here is unseasonable talk . '' `` Nay , Master Bennet , not so . Keep ye in your due place , good Bennet , '' answered the priest . `` I shall make mine innocence appear . I will , upon no consideration , lose my poor life in error . I take all men to witness that I am clear of this matter . I was not even in the Moat House .
I was sent of an errand before nine upon the clock '' -- `` Sir Oliver , '' said XXXXX , interrupting , `` since it please you not to stop this sermon , I will take other means .
