Then he came to the laid Chapman's house again, and brought Holt with him.1 And when they met with the said Andrew, they seemed as though they meant to do him very much good: and Holt for his part said, that if he should bring any man in trouble (as the voice was that he had done the said Andrew) it were pity but that the earth should open and swallow him up:2 in so much that they would needs sup there that night, & prepared meat of their own charges. At night they came & brought certain guests with them, because they would have the matter to seem as though it had come out by others. When they had supped, they went their way, and Holt took out of his purse two groats,3 and gave them to the said Andrew, and embraced him in his arms. As they were gone out, there came in one John Tibaulde, which was banished from his own house by an Injunction, for he had been four times in prison for Christs Cause. And within an hour after that Holt and Withers were gone,4 the Bishops Chancellor, and one called Sergeant Wever came and brought with them the watch, and searched the house, where they found the said John Chapman and the forenamed Andrew, and John Tibalde, whom they bound with ropes, which Sergeant wever had brought with him, and so carried them unto the Bishops house: but Andrew Hewet they sent unto the Lollards Tower, and kept Chapman and Tibaulde asunder,, watched with two Priests servants. The next day Bishop Stokesley came from Fulham, and after they were examined with a few threatening words, Chapman was committed to the stocks with this threat, that he should tell an other tale,5 or else he should sit there till his heels did drop from his arse, and Tibaulde was shut up in a close chamber, but by Gods provision he was well delivered out of prison: albeit he could not enjoy his house and land, because of the Bishops Injunction, but was fain to sell all that he had in Essex,6 for the tenor of his Injunction was, that he should not come within seven miles of his own house, and the foresaid Chapman, after five weeks imprisonment (whereof three weeks he sate in the stocks) by much suit made unto the Lord Chancellor, which at that time was Lord Audley, after many threatenings was delivered: but the said Andrew Hewet after long & cruel imprisonment, was condemned to death, & burned with John Frith:
