And so first commanding her ladies to convey away their books, which were against the law, the next night following after supper, she (waited upon only by the lady Harbert her sister and the Lady Lane, who carried the candle before her) went unto the kings bed chamber, whom she found sitting and talking with certain Gentlemen of his chamber. Whom when the king did behold, very courteously he welcomed her, and breaking of the talk, which before her coming he had with the Gentlemen aforesaid, began of himself, contrary to his manner before accustomed to enter into talk of religion, seeming as it were, desirous to be resolved by the Queen of certain doubts which he propounded.
