The SECOND APPEARANCE and EXAMINATION of Mr. CAUSTON, and Mr. HIGBED, before the Bishop of LONDON, and in the presence of Mr. FECKNAM and Dr. STEMPE.
THE next Friday, being the 8th of March, the said Tomas Causton, was first called to examination before the bishop, Mr. Fecknam and Dr. Stempe being in his palace, and there had read unto him his foresaid articles with his answers thereunto, and after some exhortations to recant his former profession, and to be conformable to the unity of their mother church, they promised him (so doing) willingly to receive him again thereunto. To whom he answered, You go about to catch us in snares and gins. But mark, by what measure you measure us, look you to be measured with the same again at God's hands. The bishop still persuaded him to recant. To whom he answered, No, I will not abjure. You said that the bishops that were lately burned are heretics: but I pray God make me such a heretic as they were.
THE bishop then leaving Mr. Causton, called for Mr. Higbed: using with him the like persuasions that he did with the other: but he answered, I will not abjure. For I hare been of this mind and opinion that I am now, these sixteen years, and do what you can, you shall do no more than God will permit you to do, and with what measure you measure us, look for the same again at God's hands.
