¶The trouble of John Butler.
¶The trouble of Iohn Butler.
There was also called before them sir John Butler, then Commissary of Calais,1 whom they would have burdened with the maintenance, or (at the leastwise) sufferance, of the foresaid Adam Damlip, which preached so long time there, and was not by him punished. Who for his defence answered, that the Lord Deputy and the whole Council there so highly entertained, and so friendly used the said Damlyp, and with their own presence & high commendations outwardly so allowed and commended his doctrine, that it lay not in him to do otherwise than he did: & therefore humbly besought their Lordships and other the Commissioners to be good unto him. At whose hands, after long attendance given, he was discharged, & so returned home again, being also dismissed of his Commissaryship.
