Bonner. Well, well. And so he called for Dr. Taylor, and Bradford went his way. UPON another day in February, Mr. Willerton, chaplain to the bishop of London, came to confer with Mr. Bradford; but when he perceived that Mr. Bradford desired not his company, and therefore rather wished for his departing than his stay: Well, Mr. Bradford, said he, I pray you let us confer a little, perchance you may do me good, if I can do you none. Upon which words Mr. Bradford was content, and so they began to talk. Willerton spake much of the doctors, of the fathers, of the bread in the sixth of St. John, &c. labouring to prove transubstantiation, and that wicked men do receive Christ. BUT Bradford on the contrary disproved his authorities, so that they came to this issue, that Willerton should draw his reasons out of the scriptures and doctors, and Bradford would peruse them; and if he could not answer them, then he would give place. Likewise also Mr. Bradford should draw his reasons out of the scriptures and doctors, to which Willerton should answer if he could: and so they departed for that day. THE next morning Mr. Willerton sent half a sheet of paper written on both sides, containing no reasons how he gathered his doctrine, but only bare sentences; "The bread which I will give is my flesh:" and the places in the xxvi. of Matthew, the xiv. of Mark, the xxii. of Luke, and the x. and xi. of the Corinthians, with some sentences of the doctors, all which made as much against him as for him. IN the afternoon he came himself, and there they had a long talk to little effect. At length Willerton began to talk of the church, saying, that Bradford swerved from the church.
