This Damlip for his honest and godly behaviour was beloved of all the whole house,1 but specially of the keeper him self, whose name was Massy, whom he always called master: and being suffered to go at liberty within the house whether he would, he did much good among the common & rascal sort of prisoners, in rebuking vice & sin, and kept them in such good order & awe, that the keeper thought himself to have a great treasure of him. And no less also Marbeck himself confesseth, to have found great comfort by him. For notwithstanding the straight precept given by the Bish. of Winchester, that no man should come to him,2 nor he to speak with any man: yet the said Adam many times would find the means to come and comfort him.
