E.K. was very unquiet in mind, and so expressed to me in words: for that A.L. had not paid him his money long since due: and chiefly for that he doubted very much of A.L. his turning to the Lord with all his heart, and constantly. So much did A.L. his former life and ungodly living and dealing offend him, and so void was he of any hope, that he became in a great excess of mind to find us coupled with so ungodly a man. I showed A.L. his last letters, how he was now in a monastery of his own, belonging to the Castle Rithwian8 (which he had now by a stratagem won from the unjust detaining of his adversary), and what penance and contrition he was in, what meditations, and what godly purposes, &c. But E.K. would not hope of his conversion, and thereupon utterly and resolutely intended with all speed to be gone from hence toward Prague, and willed me (if I would) to prepare my letters. He became very blasphemous against God, to my great grief and terror: what the issue thereof would be, so great was the blasphemy and rebellion against God and his holy purposes in us, that almost greater could not be uttered. I used as quiet words as I could, assuring him of God's mercies always ready, and his helping hand for all such as put their trust in him, and call upon him in their troubles and times of need, and so did betake him to God for that Tuesday night, being past 9 of the clock.
