THEN spake Dr. Weston, one of the audience, What, do you make the king Pilate?
RIDLEY. No, Mr. Doctor, I do but compare your deeds with Caipha•'s deeds and high-priests, which would condemn no man to death, as you will •ot, and yet would not suffer Pilate to absolve and deliver Christ.
LINCOLN. Mr. Ridley, we mind not but that you shall enjoy the benefit of answering to-morrow, and will take your answers now as now, to-morrow you shall change, take out, add, and alter what you will. In the mean season we require you to answer directly to every article, either affirmatively or negatively.
RIDLEY. Seeing you appoint me a time to answer to-morrow, and yet will take mine answers out of hand: first, I require the notaries to take and write my protestation• that in no point I acknowledge your authority, or admit you to be my judges, in that point you are authorized from the pope. Therefore whatsoever I shall say or do, I protest I neither say it, neither do it willingly, thereby to admit the authority of the pope and if your lordship will give me leave, I will show the causes which move me thereunto.
