they wrenched off an Iron bar with ease, which it was thought 4 or
5 strong men could not have done; but they had the prudence after
all, not to go out, for if they had, they would have been expelled ye
University certainly. however, the next morning the Provost sent for
Chambers, urging him to tell the truth, with a promise that if he did,
he might find some favour: upon which he very ingenuously told him
the whole affair. next the other was sent for, who for a long
time stifly denied it, but it being proved clearly against him, he was
turned out of the foundation; and accordingly put off his Scholar's Gown&
put on a Battler's Chambers too tho' he was not order'd, yet as
his Companion had been, thought he must too; and did so. but the
Provost seeing him at the hall with his Battler's Gown and apart
from the rest of the Scholars, was surprised, and sent for him again
Well, says he, Chambres, I thought I had told you, that I would favour
You on account of your ingenuity (ingenuousness I believe I should say)
how came you to put on this Gown? Yes Sir, says Chambres, but
as you had turned off Henson, for the fault to which I was as much
accessary as he, I thought I deserved Punishment as much as he
&the Provost admired that, but told him that he was pardoned for telling
the truth, and it would have been better for Henson if he had too.
