This being known unto the king, thorough sinister complaints of popish Sycophants, Barnes again was sent for, and convented before the king, who grievously being incensed against him, enjoined both him, Hierom and Garret, at the solemn Easter sermons at S. Mary spittle, openly in writing to revoke the doctrine which they before had taught. At which sermons Ste. Gardiner also himself was present to hear their recantation.
This beinge knowen vnto the king, thorough sinister complaints of popish Sycophantes, Barnes againe was sent for, and cōuented before the king, who grieuously being incensed against him, enioyned both him, Hierom and Garret, at the solemne Easter sermons at S. Mary spittle, opēly in wryting to reuoke the doctrine whych they before had taught. At which sermons Ste. Gardiner also himself was present to heare theyr recantation.
First Doctor Barnes, according to his promise made to the king, solemnly and formally began to make his recantation, which done, he with much circumstance and obtestation called upon the Bishop (as is above touched) and asking of him forgiveness,1 required him in token of a grant to hold up his hand, to the intent that he there openly declaring his charity before the world, the Bishop also would declare his charity in like manner. Which when the bishop refused to do at the first, as he was required, Barnes again called for it, desiring him to show his charity, and to hold up his hand. Which when he had done with much a do, wagging his finger a little: then Barnes entering to his Sermon after his prayer made,2 beginneth the process of a matter, preaching contrary to that, which before he had recanted. In so much, that the Major, when the Sermon was finished, sitting with the Bishop of Winchester, asked him whether he should from the pulpit send him to ward, to be forth coming for that his bold preaching contrary to his recantation. The like also did Hierome, and Garret after him.
