naked a shoare, and so presently got him to the further 

 side of the yland, where hee found a little Carvel ready 

 to depart for Portugal, in the which he came to Lisbone, 

 and passed into France, and so into England, where hee 

 ended his life in the Citie of London. And I for my 

 part kept still aboord the ship, and came into Spaine, and 

 was delivered to the Inquisitors of the Holy house of 

 Sivill, where they kept me in close prison, till I had 

 fulfilled the three yeeres of my penance. Which time 

 being expired, I was freely put out of prison, and

 misery and infamy to the world, should be provided at 

 Gods hand in one moment, of more then in all my 

 life before I could attaine unto by my owne labour. 

 [III. 452.] After we departed from Mexico, our S. Benitoes 

 were set up in the high Church of the said Citie, with 

 our names written in the same, according to their use and 

 custome, which is and will be a monument and a remem- 

 brance of us, as long as the Romish Church doth raigne 

 in that country. The same have bene scene since by 

 one John Chilton, and divers others of our nation, which 

 were left in that countrey long since, by Sir John Haw-
