Lord Mayor. Why, thou speakest against the blessed sacrament of the altar.
Smith. I denied it to be any sacrament, and I do stand here to make probation of the same; and if my lord o• any of his doctors be able to prove either the name or usage of the same, I will recant mine error. Then spake my brother Tankerfield, and defended the probation of things which they called heresy. To which the bishop answered,
By my troth, Mr. Speaker, you shall preach at a stake.
Smith. Well sworn, my lord, you keep a good watch.
Bonner. Well, Mr. Controller, I am no saint.
