The 11. examination was on S. Andrew's day before the Bish. of Duresme, of Chichester, of Bath, of London: the Prolocutor master Christophorson, Doctor Chadsey, master Morgan of Oxford, master Hussey of the Arches, Doctor Weston, Doctor Harpesfield, master Cousins, master Johnson, register to the B. of London: these disputed against master Philpot touching the true Church, and of the Sacrament of the Altar, and of the antiquity of the religion which master Philpot professed. Of which company master Morgan behaved himself above all the rest, most insolently against him: who asked master Philpot how ⟨p. 186⟩he knew that he had the spirit of GOD, scoffingly. To whom Philpot answered: by the faith of Christ which is in me: Ah by faith, do you so, saith Morgan? I ween it be the spirit of the buttery, which your fellows have had, which have been burned before you: who were drunken the night before they went to their death: and I ween went drunk unto it. To whom Master Philpot answered: It appeareth by your communication, that you are better acquainted with the spirit of the the buttery,¹ then with the spirit of God. Wherefore I must needs tell thee thou painted wall, and Hypocrite: In the name of the living GOD, whose trueth I have told thee, that God shall reign fire and brimstone upon such scorners of his word, and Blasphemers of his trueth as thou art. Morgan, What, you rage now. Philpot. Thy foolish blasphemies have compelled the spirit of God which is in me, to speak that which I have said unto thee thou enemy of all righteousness. By thine own words do I judge thee, thou blind and blasphemous Doctor, for as it is written: By thy words thou shalt be justified, & by thy words thou shalt be condemned. I have spoken on Gods behalf, and now have I done with thee Morgan. Why then, I tell thee Philpot thou art an heretic, and shalt be burned for thine heresy, and afterward go to hell fire. Philpot: I tell thee thou hypocrite, I pass not this for thy fire and fagot, neither (I thank GOD my Lord) stand in fear of the same: my faith in Christ shall overcome them, &c.
