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.
Lord Chan. These be gay and glorious words of reverence, but as in all other things, so herein also thou doest nothing but lye.
Brad. Well, I would God the author of truth, and abhorrer of lies, would pull my tongue out of my head before you all, and show a terrible judgement on me here present, if I have purposed, or do purpose to lye before you, whatsoever you shall ask me.
