What other princes will do, we can not tell: but we will neither leave our realm at this time,1 neither will we trust any Proctor with our cause, wherein the whole stay and wealth of our Realm standeth, but rather we will be at the handling thereof our self. For except both an other Judge be agreed upon for those matters, and also a place more commodious be provided for the debating of our causes, albeit all other things were as we would have them, yet may we lawfully refuse to come or send any to this pretended Council. We will in no case make him our arbiter, which not many years past, our cause not heard, gave sentence against us. We will that such doctrine, as we following the Scripture, do profess, be rightly examined, discussed, and brought to the Scripture, as to the only touchstone of true learning.
