About this time, there was a godly gentleman, M. John Glover 1in the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, whom the B. by his letters charged the major of Coventry to apprehend. But so soon as he had received the letters, he sent a privy watchword to John to escape and shift for himself: who with his brother William, was not so soon departed out of his house, but that yet in the sight of them, the Sheriff, and other searchers came in to take him. But when John could not be found, one of the officers going into an upper chamber, found there Robert the other brother: a master of art in Cambridge, lying sick of a long disease: which was by him incontinent brought before the sheriff, by whom he was committed to the gaole forthwith. Not being called to his answer, he was moved to enter in bonds, and so to be dismissed. But that he refused to do, because they had nothing to lay to his charge. So he remained prisoner in Coventry the space of 10. or 11 days: being never called of the masters to answer.
