Robin Purcas came by this morrow, and he lifted the latch, and gave me a word from Master Benold, that I was to carry on for he's got a job of work at Saint Osyth, and won't be back while Friday saith he, on Friday even, Master Pulleyne and the Scots priest, that were chaplains to my Lady of Suffolk, shall be at the King's Head, and all of our doctrine that will come to hear shall be welcome.
"Thou sayest well. I shall have company now," said the old lady with a smile. "Methought some of my brethren and sisters should be like to have after." "I reckon," responded Purcas, "we be sure at the least of our Father's company." The great door just then rolled back, and they heard the gaoler's voice outside. "Gramercy, but this is tidy work!" cried he. "Never had no such prisoners here afore.
If he gave a false name, the strong probability was that they would pass on, and he would very likely get safe away. It was Johnson of whom they were thinking, not himself.

Mrs Silverside bade her welcome with a kindly smile, and Robert Purcas came up and kissed her people kissed each other then instead of shaking hands as we do now, and Elizabeth felt their sympathy a true comfort. But she was calm under her suffering until she caught sight of Cissy. Then an exclamation of pain broke from her. "O Cissy, Cissy; I am so sorry for thee!" "O Bessy, but I'm so glad!
"At six o'clock in the morning, on the waste piece by Lexden Road, shall suffer the penalty of the law these men and women underwritten: William Bongeor, Thomas Benold, Robert alias William Purcas, Agnes Silverside alias Downes alias Smith alias May, Helen Ewring, Elizabeth Foulkes, Agnes Bowyer." With one accord, led by Mr Benold, the condemned prisoners stood up and thanked God.
"Why, my dear hearts!" cried old Mrs Silverside, as the children came in. "How won ye hither?" "Please, we haven't been naughty," said Will, rubbing his eyes with his knuckles. "Father's come too, so it's all right," added Cissy in a satisfied tone. Mrs Silverside turned to Robert Purcas. "Is not here a lesson for thee and me, my brother?
