The king not being well contented with the saying of the Bishop, yet gently answered the speaker,1 and sent them away. Who immediately sent for the Archbishop of Canterbury, & vi. other Bishops, and Rochester also, signifying unto them the grudge of the commons. The Bishop of Rochester excusing himself, answered, that he in so saying, meant only the doings of the Bohemians to be for lack of faith,2 & not the doings of them that were in the common house, which saying was confirmed by the Bishops there present, which had him in great reputation, & so by that only saying, the king accepted his excuse, and therefore sent word to the commons by Sir William Fitzwilliams Knight, Treasurer of his household: which blind excuse pleased the commons nothing at all.
