course new canvas Sheets, which when he changed, he gave away, he had commonly by his beds side a tub of water. In the which, (his people being in head, the candle pu•te out, and all quiet) he used to bathe himself, as I being very young, being assured often heard him, and in one light night discerned him, he loved me tenderly, and I him, for my age as effectually. He taught with great modesty and gravity, so that some of his people thought him severe, and would have slain him, but the Lord was his defence. And he after due correction for their malice by good exhortation amended them, and he went his way! O that the Lord had left him to me his poor boy, that he might have finished that he had begun: For in his Religion he was as you see here in the rest of his life, when he went into Scotland with divers of the Nobility, that came for a treaty to king Henry the eight. His learning no less sufficient, then his desire always prest and ready to do good, in that he was able both in the house privately, and in the School publicly, professing and reading diners authors. If I should declare his love to me and all men, his Charity to the poor, in giving, relieving, caring, helping, providing, yea infinitely studying how to do good unto all, and hurt to none, I should sooner want words then just cause to commend. All this I testify with my whole heart and trueth of this Godly man. He that made all, governeth all, and shall judge all, knoweth I speak the troth, that the simple may be satisfied, the arrogant confounded, the hypocrite disclosed. [Greek or Hebrew]. Emery Tylney.

O that the Lord hadde left hym to me his poore boye, that hee might haue finished that he hadde begonne: For in his Religion he was as you see heere in the rest of hys life, when he went into Scotland with diuers of the Nobilitie, that came for a treatie to kinge Henry the eighte. Hys learning no lesse sufficient, then his desire alwayes prest and readye to doe good, in that hee was able bothe in the house priuately, and in the Schoole publikely, professing and reading diners authours. If I shoulde declare hys loue to mee and all menne, hys Charitie to the poore, in geuinge, relieuinge, caringe, helpinge, prouidinge, yea infinitelye studyinge howe to doe good vnto all, and hurte to none, I shoulde sooner wante woordes then iuste cause to commende. All thys I testifie wyth my whole heart and trueth of thys Godly manne. Hee that made all, gouerneth all, and shall iudge all, knoweth I speake the trothe, that the simple maye be satisfied, the arrogante confounded, the hypocrite disclosed. . Emery Tylney.
