Another APPEARANCE of Mr. BLAND, before the Archdeacon and his Fellows.
ON the 21st of May I appeared in the chapter-house, where was a great multitude of people, unlooked for by me▪ and Mr. Archdeacon said thus to me; You are come here according as you were appointed; and the cause is, that it hath pleased the queen's highness here to place me, to see God's holy word set forth, and to reform those that are here fallen into great and heinous errors, to the great displeasure of God, and the decay of Christ's sacraments, and contrary to the faith of […] catholic church, whereof thou art notably known to be one that is sore poisoned with the same, and hast infected and deceived many with thy evil preaching; which if thou wilt renounce, and come home again to the catholic church, both La•d many others would be very glad: and I for my part shall be right glad to show you the favour that lieth in me, as I said unto you when you were appointed hither, because you then refused to […] again the people that you had deceived. And whereas it is feigned by you, that I should openly dispute the matter with you this day; although I did neither so intend nor appoint, yet I am content to dispute the matter with thee, if thou wilt not without disputation help to heal the souls that are brought hell-ward by thee. What sayest thou?
