So he was had to Boner, who did beat & buffet him, and cast him into prison. D. Harpsfielde offered him a Bill to subscribe unto, consisting of general terms, the rather to deceive Whittle. So he subscribed, but afterward felt such horror in his conscience, that he could not be in quiet till he had gotten his bill again,1 and rent away his name from it. So the Bishop condemned him, after many persuasions to have made him recant, and committed him to the Secular power. He wrote divers Letters of comfort and exhortation.
