So I took down a lane that was full of sharp cinders, and they came running after, with a great cry, with their swords drawn, crying, Strike him, strike him. ⟨p. 1986⟩Which words made me look back, and there was never a one nigh me by a 100. foot: and that was but one, for all the rest were a great way behind. And I turned about hastily to go my way, and stepped upon a sharp Cinder with one foot, & saving of it, I stepped in a great miry hole,1 and fell down withal, and ere ever I could arise and get away, he was come in with me. His name is Parker the wild, as he is counted in all Sussex. But if I had had on my shoes, they had been like to have gone away arrandlesse, if there had been 500. more, if I had caught the plain ground once, to the which I had not a stones cast: But it was not Gods will: for if it had, I should have scaped from them all, if there had been ten thousand of them.
