the middle of the night. And then waking, finding my legs and feet
very cold, I crept out of my cabin and began to walk about apace.

This waked and raised all the rest, who finding themselves cold as
well as I, got up and walked about with me, till we had pretty well
warmed ourselves, and then we all lay down again, and rested till
morning.

Next day, all they who had families, or belonged to families, had
bedding brought in of one sort or other, which they disposed at ends
and sides of the room, leaving the middle void to walk in.

But I, who had nobody to look after me, kept to my rushy pallet
under the table for four nights together, in which time I did not
put off my clothes; yet, through the merciful goodness of God unto
me, I rested and slept well, and enjoyed health, without taking
cold.

In this time divers of our company, through the solicitations of
some of their relations or acquaintance to Sir Richard Brown, who
was at that time a great master of misrule in the city, and over
Bridewell more especially, were released; and among these one
William Mucklow, who lay in a hammock. He having observed that I
only was unprovided with lodging, came very courteously to me, and
kindly offered me the use of his hammock while I should continue a
prisoner.

This was a providential accommodation to me, which I received
thankfully, both from the Lord and from him; and from thenceforth I
thought I lay as well as ever I had done in my life.
