Second Examination of Mr. THOMAS HAWKS.
Second Examination of Mr. THOMAS HAUKES.
THE bishop of Winchester, then being chancellor, preached that day at Paul's-Cross, and the bishop of London said to my keeper, I think your man will not go to the sermon to-day.
Hawks. Yes, my lord, I pray you let me go: and that which is good I will receive, and the rest I will leave behind me; and so I went. And when the sermon was done, I and my keeper came to the bishop's house, and there we remained till dinner was done: and after dinner the bishop called for me, and asked me if I was the same man that I was before.
