What M. doctor (said the cardinal) had you not a sufficient scope in the scriptures to teach the people,1 but that my golden shows, my poleaxes, my pillars, my golden cushions, my crosses did so sore offend you, that you must make us Ridiculum caput amongst the people. We were jollily that day laughed to scorn. Verily it was a sermon more fitter to be preached on a stage, than in a pulpit: for at the last you said, I wear a pair of red gloves, I should say bloody gloves (quoth you) that I should not be cold in the midst of my ceremonies, And he answered. I spake nothing but ⟨p. 1193⟩the truth out of the scriptures, according to my conscience and according to the old Doctors: and then did he deliver him vi. sheets of paper written to confirm and corroborate his sayings.
