I answered of Emanuel. He asked me how long I had lived in his Dio- 7* 7S MEMOIRS OF cess? I answered 3 years and upwards. He asked who raaintained me all this while, charg- ing me to deal plainly with him, adding withal that he had been more cheated and equivocated with by some of my malignant faction than ever man was by Jesuit. At the speaking of which words he looked as though blood would have gushed out of his face, and did shake as if he had been haunted with an ague fit, — to my ap- preh...ension, by reason of his extreme malice and secret venome. I desired him to excuse me. He fell then to threaten me and withal to bitter railing, calling me all to nought, saying ■ — " You prating coxcomb, do you think all the learning is in your brain?" He pronounced his sentence thus. 1 charge you that you neither preach, read, marry, bury, or exercise any ministerial functions in any part of my Diocess; for if you do, and I hear of it, I'll be upon your back and follow you wherever you go, in any part of this kingdom, and so everlast- ingly disenable you.
