Where first going into the Church, and there making their prayers at the gresings, they so proceeded into the stalls, there sitting all the mass time, the company standing in their copes, and singing a solemn Respond in honour of the Visitors. After the respond done, the Provost in the best Cope made to them his protestation, unto whom the B. of Chester made answer also in Latin, declaring that he could not perceive to what purpose his protestation was, notwithstanding they would accept it and bear with him.
