He narrowly escapes being sent by William of Orange to sufi''er, along with Payne, the tortures that had been prepared for him in other com pany in the days of the Rye Plot; and when one companion after another has gone to a bloody grave, or mounted to high office, he dies an old man in safety and in poverty.
