The examination of Bonner.
THE King sent forth his Commission under his broad Seal, to the Bishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of Rochester, and other trusty personages and Counsellors, appointing and authorising them, to examine the Bishop of London, and to proceed against him according to law and Justice, either to suspension, excommunication, committing to prison, or deprivation, if the quality of the offence so required.

At Boners first entering into the place, within the Arch-bishops house at Lambeth (where the Arch-bishop and the other Commissioners sat) to be examined: he kept his hat on his head, making as though he saw them not, until one bad him reverence the Commissioners, then laughingly he said; What my Lords are you there, by my troth I saw you not: No said the Archbishop you would not see; well (quoth he) you sent for me, have you any thing to say to me; Yea, said the Commissioners, we have authority to call you to account for your Sermon you made lately at Pauls Cross, because you did not preach to the people the Articles you were commanded to preach upon.
