YE hide your self under your Recognisance, and think ye walk invisible, as the Ostrich, when he hath once touched his head under a little bough, though the rest of his body which is great & large stand open and uncovered yet he thinketh no man can espy him. Although ye be sanded, & set a ground, yet ye keep up the sail still, as if ye had water at your will.
YE hyde your selfe vnder youre Recognisaunce, and thinke ye walke inuisible, as the Oystriche, whē he hath once touched his head vnder a little bough, though the rest of his body whiche is great & large stande open and vncouered yet he thinketh no man can esp• him. Although ye be sanded, & set a ground, yet ye kepe vp the sail stil, as if ye had water at your will.
•e say, ye may not dispute, lest ye should forfeit your recognisance. I would wish you to remember ⟨p. 99⟩your self, and to let the people understand the trueth. •e know ye are not bound in Recognisance for disputing with any man, but for that being required to disputations by the Queens most honourable council & the place appointed, & great and worthy audience assembled to y same, ye gave over, as ye know, upon the sudden, and would not dispute at all. And therefore for your disobedience, & tontemp ye were bound in recognisance.
