UPON the Sunday following, the bishop of Winchester, lord chancellor of England, preached at St. Paul's Cross, at whose sermon were present all the council that were at the court; namely, the marquis of Winchester, the earl of Arundel, lord North, sir Anthony Brown, Mr. Rochester, Mr. Walgrave, Mr. Englefield, lord Fitzwater, and secretary Peter, and the bishops of London, Durham, and Ely, which three sat under the bishop's arms. The gospel whereof he made his sermon, is written in the xxii. chapter of Matthew, where the Pharisees came unto Christ, and among them one asked Christ which was the greatest commandment; Christ answered, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, &c. and thy neighbour• as thyself, in these two is comprehended the law and the prophets."
