On the Saturday following, her husband willed her to go to the Church: which she both then and else when refused to do. Wherefore on the Sunday 14. days after, he going to the church,1 came into the company of divers inhabitants of the same parish, among whom thorough his fond talk and behaviour, he procured her to be sent to Sir John Guildford, who commanded her to prison again, yea and the more to utter his own shame, th• said her husband took money of the Constable to carry her to prison, the p•ice of his wives blood, meaning in deed to carry her to prison him self. But she having much more care of his honest and good report, then he had regard (as it is easy to see) of his own infamy, and no less ashamed of his so rude and unnatural doings, chose rather to commit her self willingly into the hands of her enemies, then that the world should witness against her husband, of so facinorous a fact. Wherefore she went to the Constable, desiring him to go with her. But he answered that he could not so do, but granted her his boy to go with her: with whom she went to prison, namely, the castle of Canterbury, according to the commandment given.
