Also in the same month of April, in the year of our Lord aforesaid,1 the Bishop of London Cuthbert Tonstal sitting in the Consistory, with Nicolas of Ely, John of Lincoln, and John of Bathe and Welles. &c. This John Tewkesbury was brought before them. After certain Articles being repeated unto him, the Bishop of London brought out before him a certain book called the wicked Mammon, asking him whether the book was of the same impression and making, as was his book that he had sold to others. Who answered and said, it was the same. Whereupon the bishop of London asked him again, whether the book contained the same errors or no. Who answered again, saying, I pray God, that the condemnation of the Gospel and translation of the Testament, be not to your shame, and that ye be not in peril for it: for the condemnation of it, and of the other is all one, Further he said, that he had studied holy Scripture by the space of these 17. years, and as he may see the spots of his face through the glass, so in reading the new Testament he knoweth the faults of his soul. Further, he was examined upon certain points and articles, extracted out of the said book of the wicked Mammon, as followeth.
