Brad Ah my lord, that you could enter into God's sanctuary, and mark the end of this present doctrine that you now so magnify!
Lord Chan. What meanest thou by that? I am of opinion we shall have a snatch of rebellion even now.
Brad. My lord, I mean no such end you would gather: I mean an end which no man seeth, but such as enter into God's sanctuary. If a man look on present things, he will soon deceive himself. HERE my lord chancellor again offered mercy, and Bradford answered as before: Mercy with God's mercy should be welcome, but otherwise he would have none. Whereupon the lord chancellor rang a little bell, to call in some body: for there were few present besides those before named, and the bishop of Worcester. Now when one was come in; it is best, said Mr. secretary Bourne, that you give the keeper a charge of this fellow. So the under marshal was called in.
Lord Chan. You shall take this man to you, and keep him close without conference with any man, but by your knowledge, and suffer him not to write any letters, &c. for he is of another manner of charge to you now than he was before. And so they departed. Bradford looking as cheerfully as any man […] do, declaring thereby even a desire to give his life for the confirmation of his faith and doctrine.
