Linc. 1M. Ridley, yesterday when that we challenged you for not uncovering your head, you excused your self of that whereof no man accused you, in saying you did not put on your cap for any obstinacy toward us, which as touching our own persons desired no such obedience of you, but only in respect of them whose persons we bear: neither (you said) for any contempt that you bear to this worshipful audience, which although justly may, yet in this case require no such humility of you: neither for any derogation of honour to my Lord Cardinals grace, in that he descended from the regal blood, in that he is a man most noble, both for his excellent qualities & singular learning: for as touching those points, you said you with all humility would honour, reverence, and worship his grace: but in that he is Legate to the most reverent father in God the Popes holiness (with that the Bishop with all then present put of their caps, but M. Ridley moved not his) you said you ne could ne would by any means be induced to give him honour:2 but for as much as this is the point as we told you yesterday, why we require honour and reverence of you, we tell you now as we did then, except you take the pains to move your bonnet, we will take the pains to cause your bonnet to be taken from you, except you pretend sickness, as yesterday you did not.
