A CONFERENCE between STEPHEN GARDINER, Bishop of WINCHESTER, the then LORD CHANCELLOR, and Judge HALES, he being in Westminster Hall, with other Judges, to take his Oath, October 6th, 1553.
A CONFERENCE between STEPHEN GARDINER, Bishop of WINCHESTER, the then LORD CHANCELLOR, and Judge HALES, he being in Westminsterhall, with other Judges, to take his Oath, October 6th, 1553.
LORD CHAN. MR. Hales, you are to understand, that as the queen's highness hath heretofore conceived a good opinion of you, especially for that you stood both faithfully, and lawfully in her cause of just succession, refusing to set your hand to the book among others that were against her grace in that behalf; so now, through your own late deserts against some of her highness's proceedings, you stand not well in her grace's favour; and therefore before you take any oath, it will be necessary for you to clear yourself.
J. HALES. I pray you, my lord, for what cause.
L. CHAN. Information is given, that you have indicted several priests in Kent for saying mass.
