To the xi. article for answer and declaration thereof, he said: The next day at after noon after he had preached,1 when he looked for no such matter, came to his house the right worshipful Sir Anthony Wingfield, and Sir Rafe ⟨p. 1354⟩Sadler knights, accompanied with a great number of the guard, and used themselves for their part according to their worships, and (I doubt not) as they were appointed, Sir Rafe Sadler began thus with me: My L. (said he) ye preached yesterday obedience,2 but ye did not obey your self, & went forth with his message very soberly as he can, and discreetly. I asked him wherein I obeyed not. He said, touching my L. of Somersets letter. Master Sadler, quoth I, I pray you say to my Lords grace, I would he never made mention of that letter, for the love I bear him. And yet quoth I, I have not broken that letter, & I was minded, quoth I, to have written to my L. upon the receipt of it, and lo, quoth I, ye may see how I began, and showed him (because we were then in my study) the beginning of my letter, and reasoned with him for declaration of my self, and told him therewith, I will not spend, quoth I, many words with you, for I can not alter this determination. And yet in good faith quoth I, my manner to you, and this declaration may have this effect, that I be gently handled in the prison, and for that purpose I pray you, make suit on my behalf.
