THESE articles thus propounded and answered, the bishop commanded him to appear again in the same place at three o'clock in the afternoon, upon the same day. At which hour being brought hither by his keeper, the bishop began with him in this wise:
WATTS, you know what I said unto you to day, and what I appointed unto you at this time. The time is now come; weigh and consider with yourself, that you are but a man, and albeit that you will wilfully cast away your body, yet cast not away your soul, but while you have time return and confess the truth.

WHEREUNTO Thomas Watts answered and said, I am weary to live in such idolatry as you would have me to live in. Upon which answer the bishop caused his articles again to be read. He thereto answered as before, and farther, subscribed the same with his own hand.
