After him the other Bishops likewise gave the like oath. Whereupon, the king commanded incontinent certain instruments obligatory to be drawn: of the which: the king should have one: the archbishop of Canterbury an other: the Archbishop of York the third: requiring also the said Archbishop to set his hand and seal. To the which, the Archbishop (although not denying but that he was ready so to do) yet desired respite in the matter, while that he (being but newly come to his bishopric) might better peruse with himself the foresaid customs and ordinances of the king. This request as it seemed but reasonable, so it was lightly granted: and so the day being well spent, they departed for that season and brake up.
