WORCESTER. Yes, and at Wittenberg too.
ROGERS. Yes (but I could not be heard for the noise), in an university, where men for the most part understand the Latin, and yet not all in Latin. And I would have told the order, and have gone forward both to have answered my lord, and to have proved the thing that I had taken in hand; but perceiving their talk and noise to be too clamorous, I was fain to think this in my heart, suffering them in the mean while to talk one of them one thing, and another another. Alas! neither will these men hear me if I speak, neither yet will they suffer me to write. There is no remedy, but let them alone, and commit the matter to God. Yet I began to go forward, and said, that I would make the text to agree, and prove my purpose well enough.

ROGERS. No, the scripture is alive. But let me go forward with my purpose.
