The Lord let me find no mercy with him, if ever I said so, or thought so of the Bishop of London.
Other notes I let pass, being less material, or concerning other men rather then M. Wotton him self. But for the further and fuller clearing of this last clause, I shall subjoin out of a letter of M. Egerton's written to M. Wotton, dated May 23. 1614 under his own hand, the very words that M. Wotton used concerning the Bishop.

*Among some other passages, you had this speech in effect, that you thought that my Lord of London would not willingly do any thing, that might impeach M Walker, because (as you had heard) his brother of Cheswick was very gracious with my Lo•d. Thus much in effect, and not a jot more, did I signify to M. Walker only by way of demand, &c. How soundly and charitably M. Walker collected hereupon, that you either said or intimated, that you durst not commit your self to the Bishop of London, because he is a wicked man, &c. I leave it to others to determine. This I profess, that neither when I received it from you, nor when I told it to his ear, I did so much as conceive or imagine, that you had any such conceit of my Lord of London.
