Foxi martyrologio. there was much debating about matters touching religion, and great studie on both parties imploied, the one to reteine still, the other to impugne the doc|trine and faction which before in quéene Maries time had béene established. But speciallie here is to be noted, that though there lacked no industrie on the papists side, to hold fast that which they most cruel|lie from time to time had studied, and by all meanes practised to come by: yet notwithstanding, such was the prouidence of God at that time, that for lacke of the other bishops, whom the Lord had taken awaie by death a little before, the residue that there were left could doo the lesse: and in verie deed, God be praised therefore, did nothing at all in effect; al|though yet notwithstanding there lacked in them neither will nor labor to doo what they could, if their cruell abilitie there might haue serued. But name|lie amongst all others, not onelie the industrious courage of doctor Storie,Doctor Sto|rie impuden [...] and sawcie. but also his words in this parlement are woorthie to be knowne of posteritie, who like a stout and furious champion of the popes side, to declare himselfe how lustie he was, and what he had and would doo in his maisters quarell, sha|med not openlie in the said parlement house to burst out into such impudent sort of words, as was woon|der to all good eares to heare, and no lesse woorthie of historie.
