At laste , I toke the waye to the towne , (MOWNTAYNE-E1-H,208.223)

At the laste I was howsyd , I thanke God , with an noneste man ,

Yn the meane tyme they did hys master to understand whate hys man had

" Whoo ys that ? " sayed I . (MOWNTAYNE-E1-H,213.364)

With that he wente downe under the hachys , (MOWNTAYNE-E1-H,214.391)

and told all the pasyngars what an ranke herytyke I was ,

I hade rather than my welffete cote that he and I were at Grafsend
agayn . " (MOWNTAYNE-E1-H,214.396)

These were marchantes of Danske , (MOWNTAYNE-E1-H,214.400)

and hade to doo <P_215> here yn London with moste of the aldermen ,
