But the same night they were put in prison by Jephcot the Chancellors man: being destitute on the sudden of all necessaries. He put him into a prison (where he continued till he was condemn ned) a place next to the dungeon, narrow of room, strong of building & very cold, with small light: where he was allowed a bundle of straw in steed of a bed, without any thing else to ease ⟨p. 170⟩himself withal: & was allowed no help neither night nor day, nor company of any man, notwithstanding his great sickness. Within 2. days after, the Chancellor, & one Temsey a prebendary, came to exhort him to conformity: to whom he gave none ear. He was also in the mean time of his imprisonment assailed by temptations of Satan: but God upheld his servant.
