The EXAMINATION of the Rev. Mr. SAUNDERS before the QUEEN'S COUNCIL, GARDINER, Bishop of Winchester, the then Chancellor, and other Bishops, being present.
In this Examination the Lord Chancellor thus spake:
L. CHAN. IT is not unknown that you have been a prisoner, for such abominable heresies and false doctrine as have been sown by you; and now it is thought good that mercy be showed to such as seek for it. Wherefore if now you will show yourself conformable, and come home again, mercy is ready. We must say that we have fallen in manner all: but now we are risen again, and returned to the catholic church; you must rise with us, and come home unto it. Give us forthwith a direct answer.
