the summer pleasantly enough in va

Two episodes Of those months were

In September he caught a rascally
sutler in the act Of selling weeviled
bread to his precious troop, and, there
being this time no Pierrepoint present,
In behalf of Magma Charta, common
law. and such like trihes. he hanged
him without clergy or other benefit.
Straightway there broke upon Won

manner of storm as made him open
wide eyes Of amazement.
First, the godly, law-abiding towns
adjacent; then the news-letters of
London (and they were numerous);
lastly. parliament itself filled up the
cry.
Out OF the hail Of objurgation and
menace he picked the least insane
rumor-namely, that he should be
sent prisoner to London, there to
make his submission on his knees to
an outraged parliament, ever Jealous
