The ANSWER of Mr. BLAND, at his Appearance before the Commissary, and others in the Spiritual Court.
MR. COLLINS said: Mr. Bland, you know that you are presented unto us as one suspected of heresy. How say you, be you contented to reform yourself to the laws of this realm, and of the holy church?

I deny that I am justly suspected of heresy, and […] heard when I was presented, that I denied the […] to be just, but to defend the unjust pun•••ment that I have suffered: neither can you prove that any occasion hath been given by me, whereby any man should suspect me therein. But if you have any ••w or authority to proceed against me for any thing done for a whole year ago and more▪ I will answer to it.
