As soon as he was come thither,1 incontinent hands were laid upon him, and he laid fast in a straight and stinking prison, where he was sharply and bitterly handled, under the custody of the churlish and cruel keepers. All this notwithstanding, Wolfgangus continuing in that prison the space of a whole year, yet would not be moved from his constancy neither with the straitness of the prison, nor with the hardness of his keepers, nor yet with the compassion of his wife & children, which he had about six or seven.2 Then was he had to the house of the Grey fryers to profess there his faith: where he both wittily and learnedly confuted all them that stood against him.
