For although you make your aunsweres in writyng, yet you shalbe examined by vs and make your aūsweres by mouth to the same Articles, or els you shall do worse. In dede I do not (as I said) discōmend your Protestations and termes of law, if it were in a young Proctour that would helpe his clientes cause: but in you it may not be suffered so to vse the kynges Commissioners.

MarginaliaNew Articles & Iniunctions ministred to Boner.Then did the delegates minister vnto him certeine new Articles and Iniunctions, and did there onerate him with a corporall oth in forme of lawe to make a full and true aunswere therunto. The Bishop notwithstādyng, still (accordyng to his wonted maner) vnder his former Protestation protested of the nullitie and inualiditie of those Articles, Iniunctions, and processe, desiryng also a copie therof, with a competent tyme to aunswere therunto. MarginaliaBoner agayn assigned the next day to appeare.To whom othe Iudges decreed a copie, commaundyng him to come to his examination to the Archb. the next day at viij. of the clocke before noone.

Williā Cicill, Armygel Wade, & Williā Hunnynges Clerkes to the kinges Maiesties Counsaile, whom they onerated with a corporall oth in the presence of the Bishop, who still protested of the nullitie of their receiuyng and swearyng, obiectyng agaynst them and their sayinges: and therewith repeatyng his Interrogatories already ministred, sayd he had mo to minister by to morow at viij. of the clocke.

MarginaliaBoners information against Maister W. Latimer preacher.The same day and tyme likewise the Bishop exhibited vnto the Commissioners an information, or rather cauillation agaynst William Latimer, for that he, notwithstandyng that he had in all his talke pretended the great tranquilitie of this Realme, which was greatly impeached and hindered whē that any the kynges subiectes should thinke that his Maiestie hath not as full power and authoritie royall in his minoritie as when his Maiestie came to perfect age, or should thinke that his subiectes were not bounde to obey the same, yet hath of late there in open audiēce reported, that he hath heard with hys eares diuers persons vnreuerently speake of the kynges Maiestie saying: tushe the kyng is but a babe or child, what lawes cā he make? or what can he do in his minoritie? let him haue a tost and butter or bread and milke, and that is more meter for him then to make lawes or statutes to bynd vs to obey thē: we are not bound to obey till hee be past his minoritie, and come to his full and perfecte age: with the hearyng of whiche woordes the Bishop also charged the Commissioners, and that bycause Latymer at the recitall of the same in their presence, was neither by them controled, nor yet caused to bryng forth the same persons, but was let passe in silence, sauyng that he the sayd Bishop did speake agaynst him in that behalfe, MarginaliaW. Latimer impeached of Boner for cōcealing of treason.saying that he would detect hym, bycause that, as it appeared hee had of long tyme concealed the wordes and not opened the same in such place and to such persons as hee ought to haue done, but had kept the persons and sayinges of them secret, either not takyng the matter of such importaunce as he pretended, or els thereby vnfaithfully behauyng him selfe towardes his Prince, and therfore was worthy with his ayders, fauourers, & counsellers to be punished.

MarginaliaA new terme assigned to Boner to appeare.These vayne cauillations ended, the Commissioners for that day finished their Session, assignyng the Bishop to appeare in that same place againe vpō Mon-day then next folowyng, betwene the houres of vj. and ix. in þ^e forenoone, then & there to shew a final cause why he should not be declared pro confesso.
