MarginaliaThe last examinatiō of Master Greene.THus (as it seemeth) for this tyme, they left of. But not long after the Bishop perceiuing Greenes learnyng and constancy to be such, as neyther hee nor any of hys Doctors & Chaplains could by the scripture refel, began then to obiect and put in practise his chiefe and strongest argument agaynst hym: which was the rigour of the law, and the cruelty of execution: an argument I ensure you, which wythout the speciall grace of our God, to fleshe is importable. And therefore vsyng law as a cloke of hys tyranny, the. xxvij. day of Nouember, the sayd bishop examined hym vpon certain points of christian religion. Whereunto when hee had aunswered, the bishop appoynted hys Register (as theyr most common maner is) to draw therout an order of cōfession. Which being afterwardes red vnto Greene, was also subscribed by hym, as a confirmation of hys former assertions: the tenour wherof here ensueth.
