Go call me the porter, said he, to one of his men, thou shalt sit in the stocks, and have nothing but bread and water I perceive I have kept you too well. Have I made thus much of you, and are you at this point? Then came the bishop's man, and said, The porter is gone to London: then said the bishop to Baget, Come with me, and he went away with him, and commanded me away, and bade one of his gentlemen to talk with me, (who was one of his own teaching) who desired amongst other things to know of me, with whom I was acquainted in Essex, and what men they were that were my teachers.
Hawks. When I see your commission I will make you answer. And then immediately came the bishop again: but before he came, his man and I had much talk. Then the bishop sat down under a vine in his orchard, and called Baget to him, whom he carried away, and brought again, and called me also, and said to Baget, How say you now unto baptism? Say whether it be to be frequented and used in the church, as it is now, or no?

Baget. Forsooth, my lord, I say it is good.
