Third Examination of Bishop HOOPER, before the Bishop of Winchester, and other Commissioners.
JANUARY 28th, the bishop of Winchester, and other commissioners sat in judgment at St. Mary Every's, where bishop Hooper appeared before them in the afternoon, and there, after much reasoning and disputation, he was commanded aside, till the Rev. Mr. Rogers (who was then come) had been likewise examined. Examinations being ended, the two sheriffs of London were commanded, about four o'clock, to carry them to the Compter in Southwark, there to remain till to-morrow at nine o'clock, to see whether they would relent and come home again to the catholic church. So bishop Hooper went before, with one of the sheriffs, and Mr. Rogers came after with the other; and being out of the church door, Dr. Hooper looked back, and stayed a little till Mr. Rogers drew near, unto whom he said, Come brother Rogers, must we two take this matter first in hand, and begin to fry these faggots? Yes, sir, said Mr. Rogers, by God's grace. Doubt not, said Dr. Hooper, but God will give strength. So going forwards, there was such a press of people in the streets, who rejoiced at their constancy, that they had much ado to pass.
