Then my Lord Chancellor asked me of my opinion in the sacrament. My answer was this: I believe that so oft as I in a christian congregation,1 do receive the bread in remembrance of Christs death, and with thanks giving, according to his holy institution. I receive therewith the fruits also of his most glorious passion. The bishop of Winchester bad me make a direct answer. I said I would not sing a new song of the Lord in a strange land. Then the B. said, I spake in parables. I answered,2 it was best for him, for if I show the open truth (quoth I) ye will not accept it. Then he said, I was a Parrot. I told him again: I was ready to suffer all things at his hands, not only his rebukes, but all that should follow besides,3 yea, and all that gladly.
