Jeffrey Note it Register. More of his Examination in that time and place, is not yet come to our hands, whensoever God sendeth it, I will impart and communicate the same to the Reader. In the mean season we are credibly informed of this, that sir Richard Abridges the same day after dinner, sent for him to his lodging, and there in the presence of divers persons yet alive in Newbury and elsewhere, friendly exhorted him to revoke his opinion to spare his young years, wit, and learning. If thou wilt be conformable,1 and show thy self corrigible and repentant, in good faith (sayeth he) I promise thee before this company, I will give thee meat and drink, and books, and x. pound yearly so long as thou wilt dwell with me. And if thou wilt set thy mind to marriage, I will procure thee a wife and a farm, & help to stuff and frit thy farm for thee. How sayest thou? Palmer thanked him very courteously,
