Compare 1577 edition: 1 When the archbishop had heard the variable sen|tences of the bishops in this case, he answered after this manner:
I would (said he) speake with two earles which are about the king, and named them. Who be|ing called, and the doores set open, he said vnto them; We haue not héere at this present to shew whereby the thing may be more manifest: therefore we aske respit for answer till to morrow.The councell there|fore brake vp, and the multitude of people, which came with the archbishop thither, being afraid of the kings displeasure, fell from him. Wherefore he caused his seruants to fetch a great number of poore and impo|tent people to his lodging, saieng that by the seruice of such men of warre, a more speedie victorie in short space might be gotten, than by them which in time of temptation shamefullie drew backe. Herevpon his house was filled full, and the tables set with such as his seruants had brought in, out of the lanes and streats abroad.

My brethren, ye see how the world roreth against me, and the enimie riseth vp, but I more lament that the sonnes of my mother fight against me. If I should hold my peace, yet would the world come to declare how ye leaue me alone in the battell, and haue iudged against me now these two daies past, I being your father, though neuer so much a sinner. But I command you by vertue of your obedience, and vpon perill of your order, that you be not present in any place of iudge|ment, where my person may fortune to be adiudged: in testimonie whereof I appeale to our mother the church of Rome.He appealeth to the church of Rome. Furthermore, if it chance that tem|porall men laie their hands vpon me, I charge you likewise by vertue of your obedience, that ye exer|cise the censures of the church in the behalfe of your father the archbishop as it becommeth you. This one thing know ye well, that the world roreth, the flesh trembleth and is weake, but I (by Gods grace) will not shrinke, nor leaue the flocke committed vn|to me.
