After the Martyrdom of master Robert Glover, although John Glover seeing his brother to be apprehended for him, had small joy of his life for the great sorrow of his hart, wherewith he was sore oppressed, and would gladly have put himself in his Brothers stead, if friends had not otherwise persuaded with him, showing that in so doing he might entangle himself, but should do his brother no good. He thus in great care and vexation endured: yet notwithstanding, rubbing out as well as he could, till at length about the latter end of queen Mary there was a new search made for the said John Glover.1

Whereupon the Sheriffs with their under Officers and servants being sent to seek him, came into his house where he and his wife were. It chanced as he was in his chamber by himself, the Officers bursting into the house, and searching other rooms, came to the Chamber door where this John Glover was. Who being within, and holding the latch softly with his hand, perceived and heard the Officers buskeling about the door, amongest whom one of the said officers having the string in his hand, was ready to draw and pluck at the same.
