Masters, so it is that where in my late Sermone at S. Mary spittle, the Tuesday in Easter week last past, I did pray specially for the soul of Richard Hun,1 late of London Merchant Tailor, an heretic by the laws of holy Church justly condemned, by reason whereof I greatly offended God and his Church, and the laws of the same, for the which I have submitted me to my Ordinary, and done penance therefore: for as much as peradventure the audience that was there offended by my said words, might take any occasion thereby to think that I did favour the said heretic or any other, I desire you at the instance of almighty God to forgive me, and not so to think of me, for I did it unadvisedly. Therefore here before God and you, I declare my self that I have not favoured him or any other heretic, nor hereafter intend to do, but at all times shall defend the Catholic faith of holy church, according to my profession to the best of my power.
