In the kings days that dead is, a great many of us were called together before him,1 to say our minds in tertayne matters. In the end, one kneeleth down and accuseth me of sedition and that I had preached seditious doctrine. A heavy salutation, and a hard point of such a mans doing, as if I should name, ye would not think it.2 The king turned to me and said: What say you to that sir?

- 2B. Latimer accused to King Henry for his Preaching. M. Latimer answereth his accuser
Then I knelled down, and turned me first to my accuser, and required him: Sir what form of preaching would you appoint me? in preaching before a king would you have me preach nothing as concerning a King in the kings Sermon? have you any commission to appoint me ⟨p. 1739⟩what I shall preach? besides this I asked him divers other questions, and he would make me none answer to any of them all: he had nothing to say.
