Then said I unto him: Alas M. Garret, by this your uncircumspect coming unto me, and speaking so before this young man, you have disclosed your self, and utterly undone me. I asked him why he went not unto my brother with my letters accordingly. He said, after that he was gone a days journey and a half, he was so fearful, that his heart would no other, but that he must needs return again unto Oxford, and so came again on Friday• at night, and then was taken, as ye heard before. But now with deep sighs, and plenty of tears, he prayed me to help to convey him away, and so he cast of his hood & his gown, wherein he came unto me, and desired me to give him a coat with sleeves, if I had any,1 and told me that he would go into Wales, and thence convey himself into Germany, if he might. Then I put on him a sleeved coat of mine. ⟨p. 1195⟩He would also have had an other manner of cap of me, but I had none but priestlike, such as his own was.
