Yet notwithstanding all this, the K. suffered him to be summoned personally in his own privy chamber. Then said the Lord Cobham to the king, that he had appealed from ⟨p. 314⟩the Archb. to the Pope of Rome, and therefore he ought in no case (said he) to be my judge: & having his appeal there, ready written, he showed it with all reverence to the king: whereat the king was much more displeased, and said unto him,1 that he should not pursue his appeal: and so was he there arrested at the kings commandment, and led forth to the tower of London, to keep his day (as was then said) which the Archbishop had appointed him before, in the kings chamber.
