I was once in examination before five or six […],1 where I had much turmoiling: every week thrice I came to examinations, and many snares and […] were […] to get some thing. Now God knoweth I was ignorant of the law, but that God gave me answer and wisdom what I should speak. It was God in deed, for else I had never escaped them. At the last I was brought forth to be examined, into a chamber hanged with arras, where I was before wont to be examined, but now at this time the chamber was somewhat altered.

For where as before there was wont ever to be a fire in the chimney, now the fire was taken away, […] an Arrace hanging hanged over the chimney, and the table stood near the chimneys end, so that I stood between the Table and the chimneys end. There was among these Bishops that examined me, one with whom I have been very familiar, and took him for my great friend, an aged man, and he sat next the table end.
