THEN said the bishop, There is no disputing with a heretic. Therefore when all his answers w•re read, he asked him whether he would stand to the same, being as they were full of heresy, or else forsake them, and come unto the catholic church.
To whom he made this full answer, That he held no heretical opinion, but utterly abhorred all ⟨p. 544⟩kind of heresy, although they most untruly did so slander him. And he desired all the people there to bear him witness, (if any hereafter should slander him, and say that he held any grievous heresy) that in all articles of religion he held no other opinion than was by law established, and publicly taught in England at the death of king Edward the sixth; and in the same pure religion and doctrine he would by God's grace, stand, live, and die. Here the chancellor spake to one Leach, who stood near to Mr. Marsh, and bade him stand farther from him; for his presence did him no good.
