THEN, said he, he would with his council examine me themselves, and asked me whether I was a priest; I said, No. He asked me what had been my living. I answered, I was a minister, served a cure, and kept a school. Then said my lord to his council, This is a wonderful thing: before he said he was no priest, and now he confesseth himself to be one.
