Wolfall had the poet arrested for debt in 1600, and when in 1608 Wolfall's son, having inherited his father's papers, sued yet again, Chapman's only resort was to petition the Court of Chancery for equity.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As Sadler died in 1587, this gives Chapman little time to have trained under him. </p><p>Chapman spent the early 1590s abroad, and saw military action in the <a href="/wiki/Low_Countries" title="Low Countries">Low Countries</a> fighting under renowned English general Sir <a href="/wiki/Francis_Vere" title="Francis Vere">Francis Vere</a>.

In the letters, both men renounced the offending line, implying that Marston was responsible for the injurious remark.
