2. That which next followeth, hath as little truth in it as the former, being a matter of more moment; to wit, that pM. Wotton, After that by Letter to M. Walker he had promised to yield to his motion about a conference, did by M. Mason the Bishops Chaplain use means to make it known to the Bishop, in hope that he would forbid the meeting. Whereas M. Wotton had not yet written to M. Walker, that he would accept of that his offer, (desirous rather of a public hearing, then a private conference) until he had been with the Bishop, qwhom he importuned for an open and judiciary trial; and being pressed by him rather to condescend to the course by M. Walker propounded, had thereupon consented and yielded thereunto; upon condition that the Bishop would assign one of his Chaplains to be a party in the hearing; who to satisfy M. Wottons request therein, appointed M. Mason then present, to M. Wotton otherwise a mere stranger, to undertake that employment. After which therefore M. Wotton added the Postscript above recited, to his Letter, lying yet by him, because not yet called for by M. Walkers messenger, according to M. Wottons expectation and his promise.
