AND here we had more words of this matter, which I let pass for lack of good remembrance.
MR. Collins said, This is but a drift. You had better answer now, else you shall go to prison again, and be called on Monday, and have articles laid to you, and if you then answer not directly, you shall be condemned as an heretic, and that will be worse for you.
Bland. Sir, I do not now, nor will then deny to answer any thing that you can lay to my charge by law: wherefore I trust you will let me have the benefit of the law.
Collins. This is the law, that if you be required of the ordinary to render a reason of your faith, then may you not deny it. And that we do now.
Bland. To that then will I answer. For I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, with all the other articles of the creed: and I believe all the articles contained both in the creed called the mass creed, and in the creed of Athanasius: and I do believe, that all the holy scriptures, and all things therein contained, are most true.
