After which open publication & admonition, the Bishop at sundry times examined divers of his Priests, and other lay persons upon the contents of both these Articles. Among which examinates, there was a man servant and a maid of the said Huns, who although they had of long dwelt with him, were not able to charge him with any great thing worthy reprehension: no, not in such points as the Bishop chiefly objected, against him.
