Other there were that thought the foresaid Bishops with D. London, had done it for this purpose: that he now having his life, would rather utter such men as they would have him to do, then to come in like danger again. Which conjecture rose upon this: Symons meeting with Marbeckes wife, said thus unto her: your husband may thank God & good friends: my Lord of Winchester is good Lord unto him, which hath got his pardon. But shall I tell you, quoth he?1 his pardon will be to none effect, except he tell the truth of things to my Lord & other of the counsel, when he shall be demanded, for unto that purpose only is he reserved. Alas sir, quoth she, what can he tell? Well woman quoth Symons, I tell thee plain, if he do not so, never look to have thy husband out of prison, and so departed from her.

The like meaning did M. Arch make to Marbecke him self, on the saturday in the morning, that the men should be burnt, when he came to confess them. I have nothing, quoth he, to say unto you Marbecke at this time, but hereafter you must be content to do as shall be enjoined you: meaning he should be forced to do some unlawful thing, or else to lie in perpetual prison.
