The Wednesday before Palm Sunday, he voluntarily presented himself (being sought for) before Master Barton, who sent him the next day before the Earle of Darby and his Council at Lathā. Where appearing before them, and not answering to their contentment touching the Sacrament of the Altar, he was committed to ward in a cold wide stone house: where he lay two nights without any bed, saving a few canvass tent cloths, and a pair of sheets without woollen clothes: and so continued he till Palm Sunday, being occupied in prayer and godly meditation.
