"I wonder, my Lord," said he, "that I should be troubled for that which by the Word of God hath been established, and by the laws of this realm hath been allowed, and by your own writing, so notably in your book _De Vera Obedientia_, confirmed." "Ah sirrah, hast thou gotten that?" said the Bishop, who now could not bear to hear of his heretical work. "Yea, my Lord," calmly answered Mr Rose, "and do confess myself thereby confirmed." "But," continued Austin, "have you heard that my Lady of Suffolk's Grace is clean escaped?" "O Austin!" cried Isoult, "tell us all you know touching her." "Why," said he, "it should seem to have been agreed betwixt her Grace and Mr Bertie ere he left England, but none was told save one Master Robert Cranwell, an ancient gentleman of Mr Bertie's acquaintance, in whom he had great trust. So last New Year, early in the morrow, afore any were stirring, her Grace took her little daughter, and seven of the meanest of her servants, and at four of the clock departed from the Barbican in silence. The Duchess, that was donned like a mean merchant's wife, through much trouble, came safe to Lyon's Quay, where (the morning being misty) the waterman was loth to launch out, yet her Grace persuaded him, and so away rowed they toward Gravesend. I have yet heard with no certainty whither she hath reached; but assuredly she is gone. The Lord keep her safe, and grant her good landing whither He shall see meet to provide the same!" "Amen, with all mine heart!" said Isoult. "Good Austin, if you hear any further, I would earnestly pray you to do me to wit thereof." "That will I," said he, "and with a very good will." The 29th of January was a painful day to the prisoners. Every one of them, from all the prisons, was brought up before the Bishop of Winchester, Dr Gardiner, in his house at Saint Mary Overy, and asked if he would recant. Mr Rose and Robin of course were amongst them. But all answered alike, that "they would stand to what they had believed and taught." When he heard this, the Bishop raved and stormed, and commanded them to be committed to straiter prison than before.
