God and the father of our Lorde Iesus Christe knoweth, that I lye no∣thyng.

My mynde gaue me, that the tyme was not yet comen to suf∣fer martyrdome, but rather that the tyme required to preache the gospell a∣brode: but the tyranne had rounde about besette me, so that refuge was there none, but that in a basket throughe a wyndowe from the wall, I was with a rope lette downe, and thus escaped I the rulers handes.
