¶Steph. Wint. De Vera Obedientia.
You have heard before of Stephen Gardiner, of Lee, of Tonstal, & of Stokesley, how of their voluntary mind, they made their profession to the king, every one severally,1 taking and accepting a corporal oath, utterly and for ever to renounce and reject the usurped superiority of the Bishop of Rome. Now for a further testimony and declaration of their judgements and opinions which then they were of, following the force both of truth and of time then present, ye shall hear over and beside their oaths, what the foresaid Bishops in their own Books, Prologues, and Sermons do write, and publish abroad in Print, touching the said cause of the Popes supremacy.
