Lincoln. M. Ridley, you excuse your self of that,1 with the which we pressed you not, in that you protest you keep on your cap, neither for any contumacy towards us (which look for no such honour of you) neither for any contempt of this audience: which although justly they may (yet as I suppose) in this case do not require any such obeisance of you: neither in derogation of any honour but to my Lord Cardinals grace, for his regal descent (at which word M. Ridley moved his cap) & excellent qualities: for although in all the premisses honour be due, yet in these respects, we require none of you, but only in that my Lord Cardinals grace is here in England, deputy of the Popes holiness (at which word the Lords and others put of their caps,2 and master Ridley put on his) and therefore we say unto you the second time, that except you take the pains your self, to put your hand to your head, and put of your cap, you shall put us to the pain, to cause some man to take it from you, except you allege some infirmity and sickness, or other more reasonable cause, upon the consideration whereof, we may do as […] think good.
