But God be praised they were conveyed, by that time that the sergeant at arms, the Uicechauncelor and the Proctors were at every mans chamber,2 going directly to the place where the books lay (whereby it was perceived that there were some privy spies amongst that small company) and that night they studied together and gave him his answer, which answer he carried with him to London the next morning, which was Tuesday before Shrovesonday,3 & came on the Wednesday to London, & lay at M. Parnell's house by the stocks. In the morning he was carried by the Sergeant at arms to cardinal Wolsey to Westminster, waiting there all day, and could not speak with him till night.4 Then by the reason of D. Gardiner Secretary to the cardinal (of whose familiar acquaintance he had been, before) and M. Fox M. of the Wards, he spake the same night with the cardinal in his chamber of estate, kneeling on his knees. Then said the cardinal to them, is this D. Barnes your man that is accused of heresy? Yea, and please your grace, and we trust you shall find him reformable, for he is both well learned and wise.
