Chamber How he disguised himselfe and went from County to County and what shift he made for victualls and lodging Sometimes being driven to beg a peece of bread and meat and ride with bread in one hand and meat in the other And sometimes setting a Guard about a little Cottage while hee rested there untill the morning That he went up and down London in a Gentlewomans habit where he saith he never saw handsomer Coaches then they have now that he met with severall persons that wished him no harme and that at last he got to the Sea-coast and there imbarqued himselfe for this Coast in a Boat
