[1] At length the knights with their seruants hauing sought the palace, came rushing into the church by the cloister doore with their swords drawne,The knights enter the church. As though archbishops can be no traitors. some of them asking for the traitor, and some of them for the archbi|shop, who came and met them, saieng; Here am I, no traitor, but the archbishop. The formost of the knights said vnto him:
Flee, thou art but dead. To whome the archbishop said, I will not flée. The knight s [...]ept to him taking him by the sléeue, and with his sword cast his cap besides his head, and said, Come hither, for thou art a prisoner. I will not (said the arch|bishop) doo with me here what thou wilt: and plucked his sleeue with a mightie strength out of the knights hand. Wherewith the knight stepped backe two or thrée paces. Then the archbishop turning to one of the knights, said to him, What meaneth this,The courage of the archb. Reig|nold? I haue doone vnto thée manie great pleasures, and commest thou now vnto me into the church ar|med? Unto whome the knight presentlie answered and said; Thou shalt know anon what is ment, thou art but dead: it is not possible for thee any longer to liue. Unto whom the archbishop answered: I am readie to die for my God, and for the defense of his iustice and the libertie of the church; gladlie doo I im|brace death, so that the church may purchase peace and libertie by the shedding of my blood.And here|with taking on other of the knights by the haberge|on, he floong him from him with such violence, that he had almost throwne him downe to the ground. This was sir Will. Tracie, as he after confessed.
