Сторінка 39 - I might easily suffer that, if they would keep my body warm. But my diet also, God knoweth how slender it is at many times. And now in mine age my stomach may not away but with a few kinds of meats, which if I want I decay forthwith, and fall into coughs and diseases of my body, and cannot keep myself in health.
Сторінка 417 - Tower, having so many things in my hands to put in readiness ; but in the evening, when all was ready, I sent for Mrs Mills, with whom I lodged, and acquainted her with my design of attempting my Lord's escape, as there was no prospect of his being pardoned ; and this was the last night before the execution.

Сторінка 112 - To our most loving friend, Mr. Philip Hinchlow, esquire, These, " Mr. Hinchlow, " You understand our unfortunate extremitie, and I doe not thincke you so void of cristianitie but that you would throw so much money into the Thames as wee request now of you, rather than endanger so many innocent lives.
Сторінка 415 - I strongly solicited to be permitted to see my lord, which they refused to grant me unless I would remain confined with him in the Tower.
