For I looked surely to have gone to the B. of London's coalhouse, or to Lollards tower: yea I thought my self happy if I might have gone to Lollards tower: but it pleased God to put in the hearts of them to send me to the Marshalsea amongst our brethren and my old prison fellows:1 So mercifully hath God dealt with me in casing of my burden, that I looked for.
