Whereto when M. Philpot had showed that he was not out of the church, & that he had not spoken against the mass, ⟨p. 188⟩nor sacrament of the Altar. He was once again dismissed till the sixteenth day of the same month: on which day when neither threatenings, nor fair allurements could move him. The B. after he had brought forth a certain instrument containing articles and questions, agreed upon both in Oxford and Cambridge: and had exhibited two books in print: the one the Catechism made in King Edwards days, anno. 1552. The other concerning the true report of the disputation in the Convocation house, which Philpot acknowledged to be his penning, without any just cause he could pretend against him by form of law,¹ proceeded to his tyrannical sentence of condemnation. & so committed him to the Sheriff: whose officers led him away. And in Pater noster row, his servant meeting him, lamented: to whom Philpot said, content thy self, I shall do well enough, thou shalt see me again. So the officers had master Philpot to Newgate: whom Alexander the keeper used very rigorously, and would not strike off his irons under four pound, but put him in Limbo. Whereof the Sheriff understanding, caused Alexander to use him more gently.
