This Mr.Bernard refused to do, though professing his sincere sorrow and penitence for any oversights and hasty expressions in his sermon.

Thereupon he was sent back to prison, where he died.

"If," adds Fuller, "he was miserably abused in prison by the keepers (as some have reported) to the shortening of his life, He that maketh inquisition for blood either hath or will be a revenger thereof."[14:1] By the side of this grim story the much-written-about incidents of the Oxford Movement seem trivial enough.
Not a few Cambridge scholars of this period, Richard Crashaw among the number, found permanent refuge in Rome.
The story of Marvell's conversion is emphatic but vague in its details.
The "Jesuits," who were well represented in Cambridge at the time, are said to have persuaded him to leave Cambridge secretly, and to take refuge in one of their houses in London.

Thither the elder Marvell followed in pursuit, and after search came across his son in a bookseller's shop, where he succeeded both in convincing the boy of his errors and in persuading him to return to Trinity.

An odd story, and not, as it stands, very credible; but Mr.Grosart discovered among the Marvell papers at Hull a fragment of a letter without signature, address, or date, which throws some sort of light on the incident.
