These things were thus in debating from seven of the clock in the morning, until xj. Then the Commissioner dismissed them till after dinner. At one of the clock at after noon, they were called for again, and demanded whether they would say any thing else,1 touching that which was propounded in the morning, by the said Commissioner. They answered, no. Then said the Commissioner, what do you conclude for your defence? The two Syndics answered: we conclude that it would please you to declare unto us the errors and heresies, whereof we are accused. Then the Commissioner asked the Bishop of Cavaillon, what informations he had against them. The Bishop spake unto him in his ear, and would not answer aloud. This talk in the ear continued almost half an hour, that the Commissioner and all other that stood thereby, were weary thereof. In the end, the Commissioner said unto them, that the Bishop of Cavaillon had told him, that it was not needful to make it apparent by information, for such was the common report. Hereunto they answered: that they required the causes and reasons alleged by the Bishop of Cavaillon, against them, should be put in writing. The Bishop was earnest to the contrary,2 and would have nothing that either he said or alleged, to be put in writing.
