The four Bishops would not agree to put out that Article, then the King sent for the Archbishop to come to him and speak with him at Canterbury, and for his safe conduct to come and go at his will, sent three Justices to be pledges for him: whereupon the Archbishop came to Canterbury, and the King came to Ch••ham, and sent his Treasurer to him to put out the clause of restitution, which he denied to do, or any word of the same.
