On Friday the xxvij. of October M. Haddon Dean of Exeter did enter dispute against Watson, Morgan, and Harpsfield: and when Watson was driven to a pinch, and to deny Theodoret, for that he said, he was a Nestorian, he desired he might answer master Chenie: and after much dispute with Watson and his fellows, then asked the Prolocutor of master Haddon and his fellows, whether they would answer them other three days, Haddon, Chenie, and Elmer said no: but the Archdeacon of Winchester,1 master Philpot stood up, and said: that although all other did refuse to answer, yet he would not, but offered to answer them all one after another. With whose proffer the Prolocutor being not contented, railed on him, and said he should go to Bedlam. To whom the Archdeacon answered, that he was more worthy to be sent thither. Who used himself so ragingly in that disputation, without any indifferent equality. Then rose Doctor Weston up & said: all the company hath subscribed to our Articles, saving only these men which you see: we have answered them three days, upon promise that they should answer us ⟨p. 105⟩again as long: and if they be able to defend their doctrine, let them so do. Then Elmer affirmed, that they never promised to dispute: but only to testify their consciences, neither now (said he) do we mean to answer, till our arguments which we have propounded, be solved according as it was appointed: for we should profit nothing, seeing the matter is already decreed upon.
