The old man wants to take revenge on Henry VIII's son for closing the churches and ruining his destiny to become Pope. Miles Hendon breaks in. He had captured Canty and Hugo, who had confessed to abducting Edward. They told Hendon that Edward had escaped, but they had been tracking his footprints. Miles tracked them to the hermit's hut. The hermit denies he is there. The hermit then claims he sent the boy on an errand. He will return shortly. Miles realizes this is a lie, for the boy would consider it insolence to do an errand.
