Compare 1577 edition: 1 The archbish. answer to his brethren.Wherevnto he answered:

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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After this he entred into the church, and celebrated the masse of saint Stephan (otherwise than he was accustomed to doo) with his pall: which being ended, he put on his sacrificing vestures,He goeth to the court. with a cope vpon them all, and so went to the court. Furthermore, bi|cause he was afraid, he receiued the sacrament se|cretlie with him, and bearing the crosse in his right hand, and the reine of his bridell in his left, he came in that order to the court, where he alighted, and entred the place, still bearing the crosse himselfe, till he came to the kings chamber doore, the other bishops follow|ing him with great feare and trembling. Now being come thither, the bishop of Hereford would gladlie haue taken the crosse, and haue borne it before him, but he would not suffer him, saieng:

It is most rea|son that I should beare it my selfe, vnder the defense whereof I may remaine in safetie: and beholding this ensigne, I néed not doubt vnder what prince I serue.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 At length, when the king had exhibited great com|plaints vnto them all generallie against him,He is reputed a traitour. they cried that he was a traitor, sith he had receiued so manie benefits at the kings hands, and now refused to doo him all earthlie honor as he had sworne to doo. To be short, when the bishops came to sit vpon the matter in councell, they appealed to the sée of Rome against the archbishop, accusing him of periurie: and in the word of truth bound themselues by promise, to doo what they might to depose him, if the king would pardon them of that iudgement which now hanged ouer the archbishops head. Then comming to the archbishop they said:

Thou wast sometime our arch|bishop, and we were bound to obeie thée: but sith thou hast sworne fealtie to the king, that is, life, member, and earthlie honour, & to obserue his lawes and customes, and now goest about to destroie the same, we say that thou art guiltie of periurie,The bishops disallow their archbishop. and we will not from hencefoorth obey a periured archbishop. Therefore we cite thée by appellation to appeare be|fore the pope, there to answer thine accusors. Then they appointed him a day, in which they ment to pro|secute their appeale. I heare you well (said the arch|bishop.)
