The history of Judge Hales.
The historie of Iudge Hales.
Sir James Hales as before, took Queen Mary's part, and would not subscribe to have any other Queen, though all the rest had subscribed to Edward the sixth's Will. He was an upright and conscionable Judge. To these his gifts and qualities were linked sincere affection to the Gospel of Christ, showing himself a true Gospeller by word and deed.
SIr Iames Hales as before, tooke Queene Maries part, and would not subscribe to haue any other Quéene, though all the rest had subscribed to Edward the sixts Will. He was an vpright and conscionable Iudge. To these his gifts and qualities were linked sincere affection to the Gospell of Christ, shewing himselfe a true Gospeller by word and deed.
At the beginning of Queen Mary's reign, the mass not being restored by law, divers Priests presumed to say mass, and they were indited at the a••ises before Judge Hales, and he gave order therein as the law required: wherefore when the term came, he coming to do his office, was sent for by Gardner Lord Chancellor, to whom he justified that he did it both by the justice of the law, and of his conscience, wherein he was fully bent to stand in trial to the utmost that can be objected: and it therein I have done any injury, let me be judged by the law; for I will seek or desire no better defence for my self, considering chiefly that it is my profession.
