CCclxii LIFE OF BACON. 



Fisher and between Fisher and Wrenham, the Lord Chancellor, after 

 * the decree passed, received from Fisher a suit of hangings, 

 worth an hundred and sixty pounds and better, which 

 Fisher gave by advice of Mr. Shute : I confess and declare, 

 that some time after the decree passed, I being at that time
