Auns. Then I said, when Cranmer which was here Bishop, was in authority, he said, that he did hold the truth, and commanded us to believe him, and he hath given his life for his opinion, and would you have me to believe you, because you say, that you hold the truth? and that which makes me believe chiefly, is the scripture, which I am sure is the truth in deed.

And they sent for a candle light, & I thought they would have condemned me, but God would not suffer their cruel hearts to have their pleasure at that time: blessed he his name for evermore. Amen.
