Thus the Uicechauncelour came unto the Commissioners according to appointment made the day before, about seven of the clock in the morning. He had scarce declared the cause of his coming, but that he had not only obtained his suit,1 but also even at the very same time received the sentence of condemnation, for taking up Bucer and Phagius, fair copied out by Ormanet Datary himself. This was to be confirmed by the consent of the degrees of the University. Whereupon a solemn Convocation called congregatio regentium & non regentium for the same purpose was appointed to be at ix. of the clock: where the graduates being assembled together, the demand was propounded concerning the condemnation of Bucer and Phagius, and the grace asked, which was this: Pleaseth it you that M. Bucer for the heresies now recited, and many other by him written, preached, and taught, wherein he dyed without repentance, and was buried in Christen burial, may be exhumate and taken up again. &c. After this grace eftsoons being granted, then was the Sentence of condemnation drawn by the Datary, openly read, and immediately an other grace asked, that the same might be Signed with the Common Seal. The which request was very lightly and easily obtained. And it was no marvel.
