At this visitation chanced the Bishop of Winchester aforenamed to be present,1 as also at the Queens taking her leave (who very well had printed in his memory the kings sudden interrupting of the Queen in her tale, and falling into other matter) and thought that if the iron were beaten whilst it was hot, and that the kings humour were holpen, such misliking might follow towards the Queen, as might both overthrow her & all her endeavours: and only awaited some occasion to renew into the kings memory, the former misliked argument. His expectation in that behalf did nothing fail him. For the king at that time showed himself no less prompt and ready to receive any information, then the bishop was maliciously bent to stir up the kings indignation against her. The king immediately upon her departure from him, used these or like words: A good hearing (quoth he) it is when women become such Clerks, and a thing much to my comfort, to come in mine old days to be taught by my wife.
