No doubt he would much rather have secured his safety by making an immediate escape out of England; but he had been condemned already to many uncomfortable lurking-places, and more disagreeable disguises, as well as to long and difficult journeys, during which, between pragmatical officers of justice belonging to the prevailing party, and parties of soldiers whose officers usually took on them to act on their own warrant, risk of discovery had more than once become very imminent.
I think it may not be superfluous to recall to the reader once again what I said at the conclusion of the sixth chapter, that entitled "In the Depths of the Abyss"; but we now approach the practical or pragmatical part of this treatise.

The east window was placed in 1844, and it is no worse than other examples of this period. The north transept was for many years used as the parish church of St. Peter. On the west are the tombs of three bishops, Grove , King and Carleton . King was the defender of Chichester during Waller's attack and the latter described him as a "pragmatical malignant."
