where he now remained in the same weak and deplorable state, and all the Gospellers were asked to pray for him. To the great relief of all Protestants, the Archbishop published a letter in which he utterly denied that he had ever said or promised to say mass, to gain favour with the Queen. "I could have told you so much," said John. "My Lord Archbishop is not the man to curry Favelle." "Now, I had thought he rather were," said Dr Thorpe. "One of your Lutheran fantasies," answered John. Which rather annoyed the old man, who did not like to be reminded that he was or had been a Lutheran; and such reminders he occasionally received from Mr John Avery. "Have you the news?" said Mr Rose, on the evening of the 14th of September. "Which news?" asked John. "We know all, methinks, touching my Lord Archbishop, and the Bishops of Gloucester and Exeter, and that Mr Dean is cited. What more?" "And that Mr Latimer is had to the Tower?" "Alack, no!" cried Isoult. "Is it assuredly so?" "I shake hands with him on his way, and saw him go in," answered Mr Rose, sorrowfully. "With what cheer?" "As bright and merry as ever I did see him. The warder at the gate was Will Rutter, whom he knew of old; and quoth he to him, `What, my old friend! how do you? I am now come to be your neighbour again.' And so went in smiling, and is lodged in the garden, in Sir Thomas Palmer's lodging." "He is a marvellous man," replied John. "My Lord of Canterbury," pursued Mr Rose, "likewise came into the Tower yesterday. He is lodged in the gate against the Water-gate, where my Lord of Northumberland lay." "To the same end, I count, for both?" said Dr Thorpe, bitterly. "The Lord knoweth," answered Mr Rose, "and `the Lord reigneth.'" "And will they put down the service-book, think you?" said he. "They will put down everything save God," said Mr Rose, solemnly; "and Him also, could they but get at Him." Before September was over, John and Isoult rode to the Limehurst to visit Mr Underhill. They found him in very good spirits for an invalid in a very weak condition, and he said he was improving every day, and had a long tale to tell them when his strength would permit. Mrs Underhill had been compelled to present herself before the Council in order to procure his release, and had there to endure a severe scolding from Lord Winchester for the relationship in which little Guilford had been placed to Lady Jane Grey. She bore it quietly, and got for her reward a letter to the keeper of Newgate, signed by Winchester, Sussex, Bedford, Rochester, and Sir Edward Waldegrave, ordering the release of Mr Underhill, who was to be bound before a magistrate, in conjunction with her brother, Mr Speryn, to appear when summoned.
