After the conference with Winchester, he had intelligence of danger: and being counselled to provide for himself, went over beyond the sea, and being at Paris, stayed not long, till he was again laid for. So he returned again into England, and was retained of M. Sentlow. After that, he departed again beyond seas, through France into Germany, where he was well acquainted with M. Bullinger at Zuricke: there he married a wife, a Burgonian, and then applied very studiously the hebrew tongue. In K. Edwards reign he returned again into England, and taking his leave of M. Bullinger, said unto him: you shall sure from time to time hear from me, but the last news of all, I shall not be able to write. For (said he) you shall hear of me to be burned to ashes: and (taking M. Bullinger by the hand) said, where I shall take most pains: and that shall be the last news, which I shall not be able to write unto you, but you shall hear it of me. Thus prophesying of the manner of his death.
