Not long after this it happened that certain of these great Doctors had invited M. Welsh, and his wife to a banquet, where they had talk at will and pleasure, uttering their blindness, and ignorance without any resistance, or gain saying. Then M. Welsh, and his wife coming home, and calling for M. Tyndall, began to reason with him about those matters, whereof the Priests had talked before at their banquet. M. Tyndall answering by Scriptures maintained the trueth, & reproved their false opinions. Then said the Lady Welsh, a stout and wise woman (as Tyndall him self reporteth) well said she, there was such a Doctor which may dispend a C. l. & an other CC. l. and an other CCC. pounds. And what, were it reason think you that we should believe you before them? M. Tyndall gave her no answer at that time, nor also after that (because he saw it would not avail) he talked but little in those matters. At that time he was about the translation of a book called. Enchiridion militis Christiani. Which being translated he delivered to his Master and lady: Who after they bad read, and well perused the same, the doctorly Prelates were no more so often called to the house, nether had they the Cheer nor countenance when they came, as before they had, which thing they well marking, and perceiving, and supposing no less but it came by the means of Tyndall, refrained them selves, and at the last utterly withdrew them selves, and came no more there.
