Thus Fishes wife being emboldened by the kings words,1 went immediately to her husband being lately come over, and lying privily within a mile of the Court, and brought him to the king: which appeareth to be about the year of our Lord 1530. When the king saw him, and understood he was the author of the book, he came and embraced him with loving countenance: who after long talk: for the space of 3. or 4. hours, as they were riding together on hunting, at length dimitted him and bad him take home his wife, for she had taken great pains for him. Who answered the king again and said, he durst not so do, for ••are of Sir Thomas More then Chancellor, & Stoksley then Bishop of London. This seemeth to be about the year of our Lord. 1530.
