1To which interrogatory he answereth, that he thinketh in his conscience, there is nothing in the book, but that which is true. And to this article objected, that is, that faith only justifieth without works, he answereth that it is well said. Whereunto the Bishop inferred again, that the articles before objected, with divers other contained in the book called the wicked Mammon, were false, erroneous, damnable and heretical, and reproved and condemned by the Church: and before God and all those that were present, for the discharge of his conscience, he had often & very gently exhorted the said John Tewkesbury, that he would revoke and renounce his errors, otherwise if he did intend to persevere in them, he must declare him an heretic, which he would be very sorry to do. These things thus done, the Bishop oftentimes offered him, that he should choose what spiritual or temporal man he would to be his Counsellor, and gave him time as before, to deliberate with himself until the next sitting.

Wherunto the Bishop inferred agayne, that the articles before obiected, with diuers other conteined in the booke called the wicked Mammon, were false, erronious, damnable and hereticall, and reproued and condemned by the Church: and before God and all those that were presēt, for the discharge of his conscience, he had often & very gētly exhorted the sayd Iohn Tewkesbery, that he would reuoke and renoūce his errors, otherwise if he did intend to perseuere in them, he must declare him an hereticke, which he would be very sory to do. These thinges thus done, the Bishop oftentimes offered him, that he should choose what spirituall or temporall man he woulde to be his Counsellor, and gaue him time as before, to deliberate with himself vntill the next sitting.
