Brad. My lord, as I said, I say again, that I stand as before you, so before God, and one day we shall all stand before him: the truth then will be the truth, though now ye will not so take it. Yea, my lord, I dare say, that my lord of Bath, Mr. Bourne, will witness with me, that I sought his safeguard with the peril of mine own life, I thank God therefore.
Bonner. That is not true: for I myself did see thee take upon thee too much.
Brad. No, I took nothing upon me undesired, and that of Mr. Bourne himself, as, if he were present, I dare say he would affirm. For he desired me both to help him, to pacify the people, and also not to leave him till he was in safety. And as for my behaviour in the Tower, and talk before your honours, if I did or said any thing that did not beseem me, if your lordships would tell me wherein it was, I should and would presently make you answer.
Lord Chan. Well, to leave this matter: how sayest thou now? wilt thou return again, and do as we have, and thou shalt receive the queen's mercy and pardon.
