Note 348 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
“I have received three houses since I wrote last to your lordship, the which I think would not a little have moved your lordship, if ye had known the order of them: some sticking fast in windows, naked, going to drabs, so that the pillar was fain to be sawed, to have him out; some being plucked from under drabs’ beds; some fighting, so that the knife hath stuck in the bones; with such other pretty business, of the which I have too much.”—Richard suffragan Bishop of Dover to Cromwell: Suppression of the Monasteries, p. 198.
