Boner understanding of master Philpots imprisonment, sent him bread, and meat, and drink, with fair words, and promise of favour. And within a while after, one of his Gentlemen was sent for him, and brought him to the presence of Boner. Who understanding by Master Philpot ⟨p. 183⟩the cause of his trouble to have risen by his speech in the con vocation house, said, he would not as then burden him with his conscience, and said moreover, that he marvelled they were so merry in prison, singing and rejoicing. To whom M. Philpot answered, that they sang Psalms, and that he trusted he would not be offended therewith, since S. Paul saith. If a man be of an upright mind,1 let him sing: and we therefore (said he) to testify that we are of an upright mind to God, though we be in misery, do sing. So he was had again to the Coalhouse, where he had other six companions of the same affliction.
