ON the 4th of February, the same day Mr. Rogers was burned, Bonner, bishop of London, came to the Poultry Compter to degrade Dr. Taylor, about one o'clock in the afternoon. But before he spake to Dr. Taylor, he called for John Bradford who was prisoner there, whom when he saw, he put off his cap, and gave him his hand, saying, Because I perceive that you are desirous to converse with some learned men, therefore I have brought Mr. Archdeacon Harpsfield to you. And I tell you, you do like a wise man. But I pray go roundly to work, for the time is but short.
Brad. My lord, as roundly as I can I will go to work with you: I never desired to confer with any man, nor yet do. Howbeit, if you will have any one to talk with me, I am ready.
Bonner. What! (said the bishop in a fume to the keeper) did you not tell me that this man desired conference.
Keeper. No, my lord, I told you that he would not refuse to confer with any; but I did not say that it was his desire.
