Article he said, there is almost 6. months passed in time and number of days, but not one month past to the effect of the law, nor 10. days neither, because I have been so kept in prison that I could not see for remedy in form abovesaide, nor there was not at every month, after the form of the sentence offered me, pen and ink & liberty given me to consult and deliberate with other learned men and friends what were best to do, or to send unto them. And furthermore, the very 8. day after the decree given, I protested before my servants whom I had only commodity to use as witness of the nullity of the decree for the evident and apparent matter in it,1 but if it were any in law, I appealed to the kings Majesty, because my request was not admitted to have the copy of the articles to answer them particularly, and because it is excessive correction to sequester my fruits and keep me in prison, with other cases to be deduced where I might have opportunity. Which appellation I protested to intimate as soon as I could come to any presence mete therefore, as I did in this assemble at my last repair, desiring therewith the benefit restitutionis in integrum, because of mine imprisonment, and therefore do answer this matter with protestation of that appeal, and utterly deny all manner of contempt.
