The Lord of Trinity promised often times, that although it were forbidden to all the Ministers to preach, yet the Minister of Angrongne, should be excepted: and furthermore sent the said Minister word, that if he would demand any thing of the Duke, it should be granted him. Whereupon the said Minister made this request, that the poor people might live peaceably in their religion. A while after he sent for the said Minister to confer with him privately, upon certain points of religion. The minister went unto him, having thereto the consent of the people. The Lord of Trinity propounded unto him three points.1 The first concerning the supremacy of the Pope: the other concerned transubstantiation. Of the which two points, the minister then immediately declared his opinion, and he seemed to agree thereunto, and required him to put the same in writing. The last (which was his whole drift) was to persuade the minister to go to the Dukes Court, and there to defend the cause of the people, alleging certain reasons to persuade him so to do. Whereunto the minister answered, that he was bound to God and his church, and if it seemed convenient to the ministers and people, that he should go, he would be content to do the same, and thereof he promised to send him answer immediately, with the which answer he seemed to be contented.
