Alice the wife of William Walleys of Colchester, hath submitted herself,1 abjured her erroneous opinions, asked absolution, promised to do her solemn penance in her Parish Church at Saint Peters on Sunday next, and to continue a Catholic & a faithful woman, as long as GOD shall send her life. And for these covenants, her husband standeth bound in five pound. Which Alice is one of the nine women of this your Indenture: and that she is big with child. Wherefore she remaineth at home, and this done in the presence of the Bailiffs, Aldermen, & town clerk.

And within short time after Sir Fraunces Jobson came with great courtesy unto my Lord Darcy's place.
