The purgation or aunswer of Anne Askew against the false surmises of her recantation.
I Have read the process which is reported of them that know not the truth, to be my recantation.1 But as the Lord liveth, I never meant thing less then to recant. Notwithstanding this I confess, that in my first troubles, I was examined of the Bishop of London about the Sacrament. Yet had they no grant if my mouth, but this, that I believed therein as the word of God did bind me to believe, more had they never of me. Then he made a Copy which is now in print, and required me to set thereunto my hand. But I refused it. Then my ij. sureties did will me in no wise to stick thereat, for it was no great matter, they said.
