The tenth day of september, Bishop Boner was summoned to appear at Lambeth, before the Commissioners: before whom he behaved himself most undiscreetely, and unreverently: defacing the authority of the Commissioners, and shifting of the point he was accused of: and in the end pulled out a Protestation out of his bosom, ready written, and exhibited it unto the Commissioners. Under which protestation, he requested to have a copy both of the Commission, and accusation: with time to answer thereunto. Which was granted him: & he assigned to appear ⟨p. 87⟩again before them upon friday at 8. of the clock before noon, the next following, and then to answer. Upon Friday the xiij. of September, Boner appeareth again at Lambeth before the Commissioners: and because Secretary Smith sate there who was not there the former day,1 Boner cavils thereat, and makes delays of answer: and in the end took exceptions against his accusers, because said he, they were heretics, and justly excommunicated: and especially he inveighed against them for the matter of the Sacrament of the Altar, and withal denied their accusations to be true: and coloured & glossed forth his manner of handling the points enjoined him, and accounted the injunctions of the book forged, because they were not sealed nor signed with the kings own hand. And when he had finished reading of his answers: Latimer delivered up a writing unto the commissioners, containing Articles against him: whereof certain were touching his own fact: as whether he wrote his sermon or not, to which he answered: that only he penned certain notes: then, what advise and whose he had: to which he answered his own only with help of his books. And this he answered, an oath being ministered unto him Ex officio mero. These words ended, the Commissioners assigned him Monday the xvj. of September then next, to appear before them, and to make his full answers to all the Articles ministered unto him by them that day.
