the Children had new dyned and in threatninge wyse sayd come forth
or I will locke you in the Chappell: and the[y] beinge afrayd came forth
and some lefte their hattes some their books & some their sachels
& they desired him to let them take their things forth of the Chappell
in goinge & cominge after him three or foure several tymes but he
would not: and the lordship did send towe honest men to have
the keye again, but in noe wyse he would p[ar]te with it but
gave them Crooked answers.

in the over Chappell with one with mee, he thrust The Children
out of the nether Chappell & shut the doore, & I asked him what
