The papists had raised a slander, that the Archbishop, had promised to say a Dirge mass for King Edwards ⟨p. 196⟩funeral, to curry favour of the Queen: which he endeavouring to stay, gave forth in writing his purgation, and was challenged of the Queens commissioners for his bill. To whom he said: he was sorry it passed him so as it did, (for he granted a copy to Doctor Story who did disperse it) for his meaning was to have made it more at large, and to have set it on Pauls Church door, and on the doors of all the Churches in London, with his seal set thereto. At which words, they for the time dismissed him.
