Winchester.

To the 17. article I aunswer, that in the same decree of sequestration at the same time read, I kneling from the be∣ginning of the decree, to the latter ende, I remember there was an intimation and three monthes spoken of, & expres∣sed also how at euery monthes end I should haue pen and inke offred to wryte, if I would yet subscribe, and as I vn∣derstand it was vpon the paine of proceeding further. And I do not remember that I herd the word depriuation, but therein I referre me to the acts of the sentence, which whē it was red, I desired it might be testified what mine offer was, to answer all those articles particularly, euen remai∣ning in prison. And this done, I made suite for some of my seruants abroad to resort to me to the tower, partly for my comfort, partly for my necessary businesse, which could not be obtained. And yet to prouoke it, I sayde to my Lorde of Warwike, howe for agreeing w^t my L. of Somerset, I had some commoditie, and for agreeing with him had nothing, and therefore would needes by intercession presse him, that I might by his meanes haue some of my seruāts resorting vnto me. He answered very gently. And then one sayde I shoulde win 2. or 3. daies haue some body come to me. And then I was dismissed with commaundement to the lieute∣nant to let me haue the same liberty I had, but no more.
