How chance ye came not to the Church? Sir (quoth the Painter) I am not out of the Church, I trust in God.
The sayd Pygot being called in the Sessions, woulde not absent himselfe, but there did playnely appeare before Syr Clement Hygham being Iudge, who sayd vnto him: Ah, are you the holy father the Paynter? How chaunce ye came not to the Churche? Syr (quoth the Paynter) I am not out of the Church, I trust in God.

No Syr, sayd the Iudge, this is no Churche, this is a Haule. Ye sir sayd Pygot, I know very wel it is a Haule: but he that is in the true faith of Iesus Christ, is neuer absent, but present in the Church of God.

So the Sessions being ⟨p. 1716⟩broken up and ended,2 the said Wolsey and Pigot were carried again to Ely into prison, where they both did remain till the day of their death.
