Bland. Then have I had wrong: for I never fled nor disobeyed mine ordinary, nor did any thing contrary to the law. If I did, let them now speak; but they said nothing. And when I saw they held their peace, I said, Mr. Commissary, have you been the cause of this my imprisonment? No, says he; you know that when you went from me, you were appointed to appear the Friday after the sessions. Here I was suffered to speak no more, but shut up in a corner till my companions were presented, and then we were sent to Westgate into prison, and were put into several close holds, so that we could not speak to one another, neither was any man permitted to come to us. We appeared four times in this manner: but one they dispatched, by what means I cannot tell, whose name was Cornwall, a tanner.
