Furthermore, in the first sermon of the said M. Latimer before the Duchess of Suffolk, fol. 5. he yet speaking more of Bilney, inferreth as followeth: Here I have (saith he) occasion to tell you a story which happened at Cambridge M. Bilney or rather S. Bilney, yt suffered death for gods words sake,1 the same Bilney was the instrument whereby God called me to knowledge. For I may thank him next to God, for that knowledge that I have in the word of god. For I was an obstinate papist as any was in England: insomuch that when I should be made bachelor of Divinity, my whole Oration went against Phillip Melanchthon and against his opinions. Bilney heard me at that time, and perceived that I was zealous without knowledge, and came to me afterward in my study, and desired me for gods sake to hear his confession. I did so: and (to say the trueth) by his confession I learned more then afore in many years So from that time forward I began to smell the word of God, and forsake the School doctors and such fooleries. &c. And much more he hath of the same matter, which ye may see hereafter in the life of M Latimer.
