LATIMER. Yes, my lord, very much. For I acknowledge authority to be given to the spirituality to decide matters of religion, and as my lord said even now, to rule; but they must do it according to the word and law of God, and not after their own imaginations and fancies.
THE bishop of Gloucester would have spoke more, saving that the bishop of Lincoln said, that they came not to dispute with Mr. Latimer, but to take his determinate answers to their articles, and so began to propose the same articles which were proposed to Dr. Ridley. But Mr. Latimer interrupted him speaking to the bishop of Gloucester: Well, my lord, I could wish more faithful dealing with God's word, and not •o leave out a part, and snatch a part here and another there, but to rehearse the whole faithfully.

BUT the bishop of Lincoln, not attending to this saying of bishop Latimer, proceeded in rehearsing the articles, in form and sense as I declared before in the examination of the articles, proposed to Dr. Ridley, and required bishop Latimer's answer to the first, Then bishop Latimer making his protestation, that notwithstanding these his answers it should not be taken that thereby, he should acknowledge any authority of the bishop of Rome, saying, that he was the king and queen's majesty's subject, and not the pope's, neither could serve two masters at one time, except e should now renounce one of them: required the notaries so to take his protestation, that whatsoever he should say or do, it should not be taken as though he did thereby agree to any authority that came from the bishop of Rome.
