but if I should be afraid of your Lordly looks, why fear you not God the Lord of us all?

Vol. 3. p. 175. The next day after he was carried out towards Hadley to suffer, and ⟨p. 179⟩his Wife and Children suspecting as much, lay all night in Botolph's Churchyard; and as he went early in the morning, she cried to him, Rowland, Rowland, and came to him; who took his Daughter Mary in his arms, and then all of them kneeled and said the Lords Prayer; then kissed he his Wife, saying, Farewell my dear Wife, be of good comfort; for I am quiet in my Conscience, and God shall stir up a Father for my Children; and kissing his two Daughters, Mary, and Elizabeth, he said, God bless you:
