Your request, as concerning my prison fellows, I am not able to satisfy, because I heard not their examinations: but the effect of mine was this.1 I being before the Council, was asked of M. Kyme. I answered that my Lord Chancellor knew already my mind in that matter. They with that answer were not contented, but said it was the kings pleasure that I should open the matter to them. I answered them plainly I would not so do. But if it were the Kings pleasure to hear me, I would show him the truth. Then they said, it was not meet for the King to be troubled with me. I answered that Solomon was reckoned the wisest king that ever lived: yet misliked he not to hear two poor common women, much more his grace a simple woman, and his faithful subject. So in Conclusion I made them none other answer in that matter.
