By reason whereof the di|sputers neuer resolued vpon the article proponed, but grew dailie more and more into contention, without anie fruit of their long conference, and so ended this disputation, with these words spoken by doctor Weston prolocutor:

Neuerthelesse, after much debating, it was thought méetest, first, for that by the lawes of the realme (which yet were not repealed) he stood at|tainted by parlement, and also for that it was doubt|full how he being sent from Rome, should be accep|ted of the people, who in fiue and twentie yeares be|fore, had not béene much acquainted with the pope or his cardinals, that therefore (vntill all things might be put in order for that purpose) he should come without anie great solemnitie vnto Lambeth, where (in the archbishops house) his lodging was prepared.
