Harps. This is well and learnedly concluded.
Hawks. As all the rest of your doctrine is; and so with many persuasions on his part we ended, and so departed: and I to the porter's lodge again.
Haukes. As all the rest of your doctrine is; and so with many persuasions on his part we ended, and so departed: and I to the porter's lodge again.
THE next day in the morning, which was the 1st of July, the bishop called me himself from the porter's lodge, commanding me to make myself ready to go to prison, and to take such things with me as I had of my own. And I said, I do neither intend to bribe, neither to steal, God willing. Then he did write my warrant to the keeper of the Gatehouse at Westminster, and delivered it to Harpsfield, who with his own man and one of the bishop's men brought me to prison, and delivered the warrant and me to the keeper: and this was contained in the warrant:
"I will and command you, that you receive him who cometh named in this warrant, and that he be kept as a safe prisoner, and that no man speak with him, and tat you deliver him to no man, except it be the council, or to a justice: for he is a sacramentary, and one that speaketh against baptism, a seditious man, a perilous man to be abroad in these perilous days." And thus was I received, and they departed. And there I remained thirteen days, and then the bishop sent two of his men unto me, saying, My lord would be glad to know how you do. I answered them, I do like a poor prisoner. They said, My lord would know, whether you be the same man that you were when you departed. I said, I am no changeling. They said, My lord would be glad that you should do well. I said, if my lord will do me any good, I pray you desire him to suffer my friends to come to me. So they said they would speak for me, but I heard no more of them.
