Proclamation was made of a reward of twenty nobles, increased afterward to twenty marks, to find the irreverent hanger up of the cat, but in vain. It was never discovered who did it. On Cantate Sunday--April 22--Mr Rose preached at Mr Sheerson's house in Bow Churchyard. John and Isoult were there, with Esther, Thekla, and Robin. After service (for they were late, and it was beginning when they entered), Mr Rose came to them, and, after a few minutes' conversation, asked if they had heard the news from Oxford. "Nay," said John, "is there so?" "The sorest we might well have," he answered. "My Lord Archbishop, Dr Ridley, and Mr Latimer, be all three cast for death." Such a cry broke from Isoult, that some turned to look at her, and Mrs Holland came up and asked if she was ill, or what was the matter. "Are you assured thereof?" asked John. "With little question," answered he, "seeing Augustine Bernher came unto me with the news, and is lodged with me: who was himself present at the sentencing and all the whole disputation." "If Austin brought it, it is true," said John, sorrowfully. "But they will never burn Mr Latimer," cried Isoult in anguish. "An aged man such as he is, that must die in a few years at the furthest!" "And my Lord Archbishop, that is chiefest subject of the whole realm!" said John. "There is an other before him now," answered Mr Rose. "The chiefest subject of the realm is Cardinal Pole, that is looked for nigh every week." Austin Bernher, who had been talking with Mr Holland, now came up, and John begged him to tell them particulars of the trial.
