He had Anthony Dalaber's letter in his wallet, and bread sufficient for the day's needs.

He could fearlessly present himself at any religious house when he had reached another county, and he was certain of being well received and cared for by the monks, who received all travellers kindly, but especially those of the "household of faith."

O Thou who judgest the hearts of men, and knowest all from the beginning, teach me what I should speak and do.

Teach me whither I should bend my steps.

I am ready to suffer persecution and death for Thy sake and the truth's.
