Bland. Sir, as concerning this matter of the sacrament, when I was with you and Mr. Collins, you said then it was for other matters that I should come hither: and further, that you would be content at my desire, to confer scriptures with me, to see if you could win me; and you said, you would borrow my lord of Dover's library, that I should have what book I would▪ and now you require me thus to answer, contrary to your promise before any conference be had, and seek rather to bring me into trouble, than to win me.
Harps. I will, as God shall help me, do the best to thee that I can, if thou wilt be any thing conformable; and I hope to dissolve all thy doubts, if thou be willing to hear. And I also will desire these two worshipful men, my lord of Dover, and Mr. Collins, to hear us.
Bland. No, you shall pardon me of that: there shall be no such witness. But when we agree, set to our hands. Here the people made a great noise against me, for refusing the witness: and here we had many more words than I can rehearse. But at last I said, Sir, will you give me leave to ask you one question? And he said, Yea, with all my heart. For in that thou askest any thing, there is some hope that thou mayest be won.
