M. Tyndale hearing by certain Merchants what wonderful feats a Juggler did, he desired them that he might be present also at supper to see him play his parts: accordingly the supper was appointed, and the Merchants, with Tyndale, were there present. The Juggler being desired to utter his cunning, showed all that he could do, but all was in vain: at last, with his labour, sweating and toil, he saw nothing would go forward, he confessed there was some man present at supper which disturbed his doings. For his letters that he wrote, I refer thee to the book at large if thou dispose to see them.
