Then was sent to him a worldly wise man, and not ungodly in the understanding of the truth,1 the Dean of Roscalrige, who gave him Christian consolation, amongst the which he exhorted him to believe the realty of the sacrament after the consecration. But he would consent to nothing that had not evidence in the holy scripture, & so passed over that night in singing, & landing God to the ears of divers hearers,2 having learned the psalter of David without book, to his consolation: For before they had spoiled him of his Bible, which always till after he was condemned, was with him where ever he went. After that, sir Hugh knew that he had certain books to read & comfort his spirit, who came in a rage & took the same from him, leaving him desolate (to his power) of all consolation, and gave divers ungodly & injurious provocations by his devilish venom, to have perverted him a poor innocent, from the patience & hope he had in Christ his saviour: but God suffered him not to be moved therewith, as plainly appeared to the hearers and seers for the time.
