¶One Dabney.
There was at London a certain honest godly person, a Painter, named Dabney,1 whom John Avales in the time of Queen Mary had brought before Boner to be examined for his faith. It happened the same time. as the said Dabney was there, that the Bishop was occupied with examination of other, so that he was bid to stand by, and to wait the Bishops leisure. Upon the same, or not long after, suddenly cometh word to the Bishop to prepare him in all speed, the general procession tarried for him. The Bishop hearing that, setting all business apart, bustleth himself with all speed possible to the Church, there to furnish Procession. By reason whereof Dabney, which newly came to the house, was there left alone, while every man else was busied in preparing and setting themselves forward, according as the case required.
