The xviij. day the Uicechauncellor going to the Inquisitors sitting at the Kings College,1 did put them in remembrance, that the same was the day in which by their process sent forth the xvj. day before, they had commanded to appear in S. Mary Church, such as would take upon them to defend Bucer and Phagius by the law. He desired therefore that they would vouchsafe to sit there, if perchance any man would try the adventure of the law. They lightly condescended thereunto. When the Uicechauncellor had brought them thither, he exhibited unto them the process of the Citation which he had received of them to publish a little before, saying, that he had diligently executed whatsoever the contents of the same required. After that they had taken their places, and that no man put forth himself to answer for the offenders, the Judges called aside D. Yong, D. Segiswike, Bullock, Tailor, Maptide, Hunter, Parker, Redman, above mentioned.2 Also Browne, Gogman, Rud, Johnson, Mitch, Raven and Car, who had before written out the burial of Bucer, with a singular commendation of him, and sent it to Sir John Cheek Knight. These men taking first their oath upon a book, were commanded to bear witness against the heresies and doctrine of Bucer and Phagius. The 22. day of the same month was limited to this Jury to bring in their verdict.
