One time he mett accidentally with Butler[414], the famous physitian of Cambridge, at the earle of Suffolke's (Lord Treasurer[415]). They were strangers to each other, and both walking in the gallerie. Noy was wearied, and would be gonne. Butler would know his name. Noy had him to the Peacock Taverne in Thames Street, and fudled all that day.
Another time Noy and Pine of Lincolne's Inne went afoot to Barnet with clubbes in their hands, like countreyfellowes. They went to the Red Lyon inne; the people of the house were afrayd to trust them, fearing they might not pay.
