On Saturday, being the xiiij. of April, after dinner, the Commissioners and Disputers went all to Saint Mary's church in Oxford, and there (after a short consultation in a Chapel) they came all into the quire, and sate all on seats, before the Altar, to the number of 33. persons.1 And first they sent to the Mayor, that he should bring in D. Cranmer: whom he brought with a great number of rusty Bilmen. And being come, the Prolocutor exhorted him to unity. To whom the Archb. modestly answered, he would embrace it gladly, so it were joined with verity. And after a discourse of the same, in few words, the Prolocutor caused the questions to be propounded unto him, and required him to subscribe thereunto. Which the Archb. refusing, the Prolocutor first willed him to write his mind of them that night: and said moreover, he should dispute on them: and caused a copy of the Articles to be delivered unto him, assigning him to answer thereunto on monday next, and so charged the Major with him again, to be had to Bocardo: where he was kept before.
