Anno 1555. In the month of October, Ridley & Latimer were both brought forth to their finall examination and execution: the Commissioners wherof, were maister White, Bishop of Lincolne, maister Brookes Bishop of Glocester, with others.
Upon the 20. of September was sent down a commission to Oxford from Cardinal Poole to the parties aforesaid, to proceed against Ridley in judgement, and Latimer, except they would recant. So the last of September, they were cited to appear before the Lords in the Divinity School at Oxford, at viij of the clock. Where first appeared Master Ridley, and then Latimer. M. Ridley (while the Commission was read) standing bare before, when he heard the Popes holiness named,1 and the Cardinal, put on his cap: and being thrice admonished, would not (by putting it off) give sign of reverence unto the Pope or his Legate. At the last, the Bishop of Lincoln commanded one of the Beadles to pluck his cap from his head. Master Ridley bowing ⟨p. 177⟩his head to the officer, gently permitted him to take away his cap. After that Lincoln persuaded him with a long oration to recant: to which Ridley maketh answer, confuting the usurped supremacy of the Pope &c. In the end they objected articles, whereto presently they required answer: but they said such as should not be prejudicial to that he should say to morrow. So they took his answers, and appointed him again the next morrow at eight of the clock, willing the Major he should have pen, ink, and paper, &c. So dismissing Master Ridley, they sent for master Latimer. To whom after exhortation to recant, and other conference, they propounded the same articles to him which they propounded to master Ridley. Whereto he answered presently, and was assigned to appear on the morrow again: which master Latimer was loth to do willing them to make speed in that they would do. So the Major being charged with him, they brake up for the day their session.
