Wolsey. 1I take the eternal and everlasting God to witness that I do err in no part or point of Gods book the holy Bible, but hold & believe in the same to be most firm and sound doctrine in all points most worthy for my salvation and for all other Christians to the end of the world. Whatsoever mine adversaries report by me, God forgive them therefore. With that cometh one to the fire with a great sheet knit full of books to burn, like as they had been new [figure] 2Testaments. O said Wolsey, give me one of them, & Pigot desired an other,3 both of them clapping them close to their breasts saying the 106. Psalm, desiring all the people to say Amen, and so received the fire most thankfully.
