RIDLEY. Your lordship's irreverent terms do not elevate the thing. Perhaps some men came more devoutly from puddings, than other men do now from other things.
LINCOLN. As for that, Mr. Ridley, you ought to be judge of no man: but by this your reasoning you cause us to stretch and enlarge our instructions. We came not to reason, but to take your determinate answers to our articles, and then he read the first article in manner above specified. NOW, Mr. Ridley, what say you to the first ⟨p. 897⟩article? If you have brought your answer in writing, we will receive it: but if you have any other matter, we will not receive it. THEN Dr. Ridley took a sheet of paper out of his bosom, and began to read that which he had written, but the bishop of Lincoln commanded the beadle to take it from him. But he desired license to read it, saying, that it was nothing but his answers, but the bishop would in no wise suffer him.
