After the great uprising in London, Frampton was provided to the vicarage, and departed thence from London after the uprising and came to the tourn at Bridgwater and mandated Segan, who came with others of the town to the master of the hospital and demanded satisfaction of these matters on pain that the master should make answer at ten of the clock the next morning.
