UPON the 25th day of February, about eight o'clock in the morning, when these two friars came to the Compter where Mr. Bradford was prisoner, they desired he might be called. Then one friar, who was the king's confessor, asked in Latin (for all their discourse was in Latin) of Bradford, whether he had not seen or heard of one Alphonsus that had written against heresies
Brad. I do not know him.
Confess. Well, this man (pointing to Alphonsus) is he. We are come to you of love and charity, by the means of the earl of Derby, because you desire to confer with us.

Brad. I never desired your coming, nor to confer with you, or any other But seeing you are come of charity, as you say, I cannot but thank you: and as concerning conference, though I desire it not, yet I will not refuse to talk with you if you will.
