Next, is the Gaole or Prison of the
Kings Bench, but of what antiquity the
same is, I know not. For I have read,
that the Courts of the Kings Bench and
Chancery, have oft times been removed
from London to other places, and so hath
likewise the other Gaoles that serve
those Courts, as in the yeere 1304. Ed

of the Kings Bench and the Exchequer,
which had remained seven yeeres at
Yorke, to be removed to their old places
at London. And in the yeere 1387. the
eleventh of Richard the second, Robert
Trisilian chiefe Iustice, came to the Ci

space of a moneth, as Iustice of the Kings
Benche, and caused to be indited in that

Where we that sleep by death,

An honest life doth bring,

And life againe begins,

The doore whereby we passe
