MarginaliaAn. 1555. Iune.sayd: my Lord would haue you come to the sermon, and so I went to the chappell dore, and stoode wythout the dore.

Boner. Is not that fellow come?

Haukes. Yes I am here.

Boner. Come in man.

MarginaliaTho. Haukes will not come into Boners Chappell.Haukes. No that I will not. He called agayne, and I answered: I wyll come no nearer, and so I stoode at the dore. Then sayd the Bishop, go to your sermon.

Then D. Chadsey put the stole about his necke, and caryed the holy water sprinkle vnto the Byshop, who blessed him, and gaue him holy water, and so he went to hys sermon. MarginaliaChadseyes sermon.The text that he entreated on, was the xvj. of Mathew. MarginaliaHis theame.Whom do men say that I the sonne of man am? Peter sayd: some say that thou art Helias, some say thou art Iohn Baptist, some say thou art one of the Prophetes. But whom say ye that I am? Then sayd Peter, thou art Christ the sonne of the liuing God. Then left he the text there, and sayd: whose sinnes so euer ye binde, are bound: which authority (sayd he) is left to the heades of the Church, as my Lord here is one, and so vnto all the rest that be vnderneth him. But the Church hath ben much kicked at sith the beginning: yet kicke the heretickes, sporne the heretickes neuer so much, the Church doth stand and florish. MarginaliaChadsey exalteth the Sacrament.And then he went straight way to the sacrament, and sayd his mynde on it, exalting it aboue the heauen, (as the most of them do) and so returned to his place againe, saying: whose sinnes ye do remit, are remitted and forgeuen: and so he applied it to the Byshops and Priestes to forgeue sinnes, & sayd, all that be of the Church will come and receaue the same. MarginaliaScripture clerkly applied.And this he proued by S. Iohn in the xj. chapiter, saying that Christ came to rayse Lazarus, which when he was risen, was bound in bandes: then sayd Christ to them that were in authority (who were his disciples:) Go ye and lose him, lose him you. And thys was the effect of his sermon, applying all to them, that they haue the same authority that Christ spake of to his Apostles, and so ended hys sermon, and they went to dinner.

MarginaliaAn other talke betwene Tho. Haukes and Boner, and the Queenes men.ANd after dinner I was called into the chappell, where as were certayne of the Queenes seruauntes and other straungers, whom I did not know.

Boner. Haukes, how like ye the sermon?

Haukes. As I like all the rest of his doctrine?

Boner. What? are ye not edified thereby?

Haukes. No surely.

Boner. It was made only because of you.

Haukes. Why? then am I sory that ye had no mo heretikes here, as ye call them. I am sory, that ye haue bestowed so much labour on one, and so litle regarded.

Boner. Well, I will leaue you here, for I haue busines. I pray you talke with him: for if ye could do him good (sayd he) I would be glad.

This the Byshop spake to the Queenes men, who sayd vnto me: Alas what meane you to trouble your selfe about such matters, against the Queenes procedinges?

MarginaliaTho. Haukes refuseth to talke with the Queenes seruauntes.Haukes. Those matters haue I aunswered before them that be in authority: and vnles I see you haue a further commission,  

Commentary     Close

Technically Bonner needed a royal commission to interrogate Haukes.

Haukes. If my Lord will talke with me himselfe, I will aunswere hym. They cryed faggots, burne him, hang him, to prison with him: it is pity that he liueth, lay Irons vpon him: and with a great noyse they spake these wordes. Then in the middest of all the rage, I departed from them, and wēt to the porters lodge againe.

MarginaliaAn other dayes talke betwene Haukes & Boner.THe next day, the Byshop called me into his chamber, and sayd: ye haue bene with me a great while, and ye are neuer the better but worse and worse: and therfore I will delay the tyme no longer, but send you to Newgate.

Haukes. My Lord, ye can do me no better pleasure.

Boner. Why? would ye so fayne go to prison?

Haukes. Truly I did looke for none other when I came to your handes.

Boner. Come on your wayes: ye shall see what I haue written. Then did he shew me certaine Articles, and these are the contentes of them:

MarginaliaBoner sheweth Haukes articles in writing.Whether the Catholicke Church doe teach and beleue that Christes reall presence doth remaine in the Sacrament or no, after the woordes of consecration, accordyng to the wordes of Sainct Paule, which are these: Is not the bread which wee breake the partaking of the body of Christ, and the cup which wee blesse, the partaking of the bloud of Christ? which if it were not so, Paul would neuer haue sayd it.

MarginaliaAnswere of Haukes to the first article.Haukes. What your Church doth, I can not tell: but I am sure that the holy Catholicke Church doth neither so take it, nor beleue it.

Boner. Whether doth the Catholicke Church teach and beleue the Baptisme that now is vsed in the Church, or no?

MarginaliaAnswere to the 2. article.Haukes. I answered to it as I did to the other question before. Then did the bishop with much flatterye counsell me to be perswaded, and to keepe mee out of prison, which I vtterly refused, and so wee departed. And I supposed that the next day I shoulde haue gone to prison, and so I had, saue for the Archdeacon of Cāterbury, whose name is Harpsfield, whom the byshop had desired to talke with me, MarginaliaTalke betwene Haukes and Doct. Harpsfield Archdeacō of Cant.and began to perswade me concerning the sacramēt, and the ceremonies: and after much talke he sayd that the sacrament of the aultar was the same body that was borne of the Virgine Mary, which dyd hang vpon the crosse.

MarginaliaA question put to Harpsfield.Haukes. He was vpon the crosse both aliue & dead: which of them was the Sacrament?

Harps. The Archdeacon aunswered, aliue.

Haukes. How proue you that?

Harps. Ye must beleue. Doth not S. Iohn say: He is already condemned, that beleueth not?  

Commentary     Close

Haukes is misquoting 1 John 5: 12.

Haukes. S. Iohn sayth: Hee that beleueth not in the sonne of God, is already condemned: but he sayth not, hee that beleueth not in the sacrament, is already condēned.

Harps. There is no talke wyth you: for ye are both without fayth and learning, and therefore I wyll talke no more with you in scripture.

Then two that stoode by, bad mee enter further in talke with him, and then sayd I vnto him: MarginaliaAn other question put to Harpsfield, why the Roodeloft is set betwene the Church and the Chauncell.why is the Roodeloft

A beam supporting a cross placed in a church between the choir and the nave.

Harps. I can not tell: for ye haue asked a question, which ye can not assoyle  

Commentary     Close

In this case, the word 'assoil' means to resolve or answer.

Haukes. Yes that I can: for this sayth one of your own Doctors, that þ^e body of the church doth represent the church militant, & the Chauncell the church triumphant: and so because we can not go frō þ^e church militant to þ^e church triumphant, but that we must beare þ^e crosse of Christ, thys is þ^e cause of the Roodeloft beyng betwene the body of the Church and the Chauncell.

Harps. This is well and clarkly concluded.

Haukes. As all the rest of your doctrine is: and so with many perswasions on hys part we ended, and so departed: and I to the Porters lodge agayne.

THe next day in the morning, which was the first day of Iuly, the bishop did cal me him selfe from the Porters lodge, commaunding me to make me ready to go to pryson, and to take such things with me as I had
