Sec. Bourne. Yea, thou hast written letters.
Lord Chan. Why speakest thou not? Hast thou not written as he saith?
Brad. What I have written, I have written.
Southwell. Lord God, what an arrogant and stubborn boy is this, that thus stoutly and da•yingly behaveth himself before the queen's council! Whereat one looked upon another with disdainful countenances.
Brad. My lords and masters, the Lord God which is, and will be judge of us all, knoweth, that as I am certain I stand now before his Majesty, so with reverence in his fight I stand before you▪ and unto you accordingly in words and gesture I desire to behave myself. If you otherwise take it, I doubt not but God in his time will reveal it in the mean season, I shall suffer with all due obedience your sayings and doings too, I hope.
