So when all was hushed, I went abroad among our friends & brethren, and at length I went beyond the Sea both into Flanders and in France: but I thought every day seven year or ever I were at home again. So I came home again as soon as it was possible. I was there but three weeks, but as soon as I was come home, and it once known among Baals priests, they could not abide it, but procured out warrants against me, causing my house to be searched sometimes twice in a week. This continued from Saint James tide to the first Sunday in Lent. Otherwhile I went privily, otherwhile openly, otherwhile I went from home a fortnight or three weeks, otherwhile I was at home a month or five weeks together, living there most commonly and openly, doing such works as I had to do: and yet all mine enemies could lay no hands on me,1 till the hour was full come: and then by the voice of the country, and by manifest proofs, mine own brother as concerning the flesh, delivered me into their hands, by that he knew that I was at home.
