Hawks. Those matters have I answered before them that be in authority: and unless I see you have a further commission, I will answer you nothing at all. Then said the bishop's men, (which were many) My lord hath commanded you to talk with us.
Haukes. Those matters have I answered before them that be in authority: and unless I see you have a further commission, I will answer you nothing at all. Then said the bishop's men, (which were many) My lord hath commanded you to talk with us.
Hawks. If my lord will talk with me himself, I will answer him. They cried, Faggots, burn him, hang him, to prison with him, it is a pity that he liveth, lay irons upon him; and with a great noise they spake these words. Then in the midst of all their rage I departed from them, and went to the porter's lodge again.
