In this sort he continued for diuers yeeres,
vntill (vpon I wot not what veake, or vnkindnesse) away he gets,

inheriteth a house and demaynes. Hee maried Treffry; his father,

French crew, surprizeth suddenly his master, and his ghests, at a
Christmas supper, carrieth them speedily vnto Lantreghey, and forceth
the Gent, to redeemme his enlargement, with the sale of a great part
of his reuenewes.
