On Wednesday the xxv. of October, John Philpot, according to the appointment, was ready to dispute about the real presence, and was ready to enter into a Latin oration, made to interpret the question: this the Prolocutor would not suffer: and besides, contrary to their order, compelled him to make his arguments in English, which he did, & was so interrupted by the Prolocutor, that he fell down on his knees before the Earls and Lords, desiring them that he might have liberty to prosecute his argument: but the Prolocutor still interrupted.1 Doctor Chadsey being the respondent in the end, he having scarce spent one argument of a dozen, in the matter of the presence in the Sacrament, was threatened of the Prolocutor to be sent to prison, except he gave over.
