Thirlby At the recept of these letters Doctor Boner and Doctor Heynes did putte themselues in a readinesse to repair incontinent vnto Lions thinking there to haue found Win. and Thirleby according to y e purport of their letters But Wint. and Thirlby not abiding their comming made hast away from Lions to la Barella where Boner riding in post after him ouer tooke hym With whō what entertainment and talke he had and what accusations he laid to his charge what brauling words passed betwene them and what great misliking Boner had of him for speciall causes heere in thys brabling matter or brauling dialogue vnder following may appeare which for thy recreation and the further vnderstanding of Winchesters qualities I wishe thee louing Reader to peruse and consider But first heere is to be noted that the King and the L. Cromwell at what time they had appoynted D. Edmund Boner to be resident ambassadour in Fraunce required in their letters that he shuld aduerse them by wryting what he misliked in the doings and behauior of certaine persons whom they did note then vnto him Whereupon the sayde D. Boner sendeth this declaration of Steuen Gardiner B. of Wint. as followeth A declaration sent by D. Boner to the Lorde Cromwel Out of the copy of Boners owne letters by his owne hand writing which I haue to shewe describing to him the euill behauiour of Steuen Winchester with speciall causes therein contained wherfore and why he misliked of him FIrst I mislike in the B. of Winchester that when any mā is sent in the kings affaires and by hys highnesse commaundement the Bishoppe Complayntes of Doct· Boner agaynst Steuen Gardiner vnlesse he be the onely and chiefe inuentour of the matter and setter foorth of the person he will not onely vse many cauillations but also vse great strangenesse in countenaunce and chere to the person that is sent ouer and besides as small comfort and counsell as may be in the matter rather disswading encouraging the persone earnestly to set forthwarde his message then boldning and comforting him as is his duety with help counsel to aduenture and do his best therein The vaine glorious pride ambition of the B. of Winchester The experience whereof I haue had my selfe with him as wel at Roan the first time I was sent to Rome commanded by the kings highnes to come by him and at Marsels the time of the intimation of the kinges protestation prouocation and appeale as also lately going to Nice touchyn● the generall Counsell What experiēce Doct. Boner hath of Winchesters pride and the authority of the B. of Rome and ●●nally nowe last of all at my returne from Spaine where neyther my diligence in comming to him and vsing him in the beginning with all the reuerence I coulde neither the kings letters wrytten vnto him in fauour ne yet other thinge coulde mollifie his hard heart The cankred malicious stomacke of Winchester and cancred malitious stomacke but that he woulde spitefully speake vnkindly doe as in deede he did to his great shame and my dishonesty as followeth When riding in post I came to La Barclla a post a this side Lyons the 7. day of August he being in bedde there I taried till hee rising vp and making himselfe ready came at last out to me standing and tarying for him in a seconde chamber and at hys comming thether he sayd what M. Boner good morow A Syr yee be welcome The dialogue betweene Boner and Gardiner beginneth and herewithall he put out his hand and I kissing mine tooke him by it and incontinently after he sayde Come on let vs goe and walke a while into the fields and withall drew towardes the doore preparing him to walke To whome I sayde I woulde waite vpon him His going to the fields as appeared afterwards was not so muche to walke as to haue a place where hee myghte speake loud and triumph alone against me calling in his wordes againe If hee spake any amisse or vtterly deny them if that made for his purpose And by chaunce rather then by good wisedome afore I went forth I asked for M. Thirleby and desired I might see him and speake with him The Bishop that perceiuing and with all that I stacke vpon it he commaunded one of his seruauntes to call M. Thirleby but yet afore his comming the Byshop could not be idle but sayd this to me M. Boner your seruaunt was yesterday with me and as I told him Winchester will do nothing f●r Doctor Boner I will tell you In good faith ye can haue nothing of me Nothing my Lord quoth I merely speaking Mary God forbid that is a heauy worde and much vncomfortable to him that wanteth all things and trusteth much vppon your goodnesse that hathe a great deale In faith quoth he ye shall haue nothing of me marie ye shall haue of M. Thirleby his cariage mules his bed and diuers other things that he may spare and which hee hath kept for you Well my Lord quoth I if I shal haue nothing of you I must make as good shift as I can for my self otherwise prouide it where I may get it And heere the Bishop because I would not geue hym thankes Doct. Boner wil geue no thankes to winchester for nothing Winchester beginneth to kindle for that thing which was not worthy thankes and that also I woulde not shewe my selfe greatly contented and pleased though I receiued nothing at his handes hee began somewhat to kindle and

to keepe his house which myght haue mooued hym thereunto He did see the recouery of religion in England for that present desperate he knew he could not want a liuyng in Germany and he coulde not forget his wyfe and x. children and to seeke means to succour them But all these things set apart after he was called to answer in Christes cause he would not depart but stoutly stood in defence of the same and for the triall of that truth was content to hazard his lyfe Thus he remayned in hys owne house as prisoner a long tyme till at the length through the vncharitable procurement of Boner Bishop of London who could not abyde such honest neighbours to dwell by him M. Rogers sent to Newgate he was remooued from his owne house to the prison called Newgate where he was lodged among theeues and murtherers for a great space during which tyme what businesse he had with the aduersaries of Christ all is not knowen neither yet any certaintie of his examinations further thē he hymselfe did leaue in writyng which God would not to be lost but to remayne for a perpetuall testimony in the cause of Gods truth as here followeth recorded and testified by his owne writyng ¶ The Examination and aunswere of John Rogers made to the L. Chancellor and to the rest of the Counsell the 22. of Ianuary Anno. 1555. The Lord Chauncellour FIrst the L. Chancellour said vnto me thus Sir Examination aunswere of M. Iohn Rogers ye haue heard of the state of the realme in which it standeth now Rogers No my Lord I haue bene kept in close prison and except there haue bene some generall thyng sayd at the table whē I was at dinner or supper I haue heard nothing and there haue I heard nothing whereupon any speciall thing might be grounded L. Chan. Then sayd the L. Chancellor Generall thynges generall things mockingly Ye haue heard of my L. Cardinals commyng and that the Parliament hath receyued his blessing not one resisting vnto it but one man which did speake against it Such an vnitie and such a myracle hath not bene seene And all they of which there are eyght score in one house sayd one that was by whose name I know not haue with one assent and * Ful sore against theyr wills if they could otherwise haue chosen consent receyued pardon of their offences for the schisme that we haue had in England in refusing the holy father of Rome to be hed of the Catholike Church How say ye are ye content to vnite and knit yourselfe to the fayth of the catholike church with vs in the state in which it is now in England Wyll ye do that Rogers The Catholike Church I neuer did nor will dissen● from L. Chancel Nay but I speake of the state of the Catholike church in that wyse in which we stand now in England hauyng receaued the Pope to be supreme head Rog. No head of the Catholicke Church but Christ. I know none other head but Christ of his catholike church neither will I acknowledge the Bishop of Rome to haue any more authority then any other bishop hath by the word of God and by the doctrine of the olde and pure Catholike church 400. yeres after Christ. L. Chaun Why didst thou then acknowledge King Henry the 8. to be supreme head of the church if Christ be the onely head Rog. The supremacie of king Henry 8. how it is to be taken I neuer graunted hym to haue any supremacy in spirituall thyngs as are the forgeuenesse of sinnes geuing of the holy Ghost authoritie to be a Iudge aboue the worde of God L. Chan. Yea said he and Tonstall B. of Duresme and N. B. of Worcester Tonstall B. of Duresme N. Bishop of Worcester if thou hadst said so in his dayes and they nodded the hed at me with a laughter thou hadst not ben alyue now Rog. Which thing I denied and would haue told how hee was said and ment to be supreme head But they looked laughed one vpon another and made such a busines that I was cōstrayned to let it passe There lyeth also no great waight thereupon for all the world knoweth what the meanyng was The L. Chancellor also sayd to the L. Wil. Haward that there was no inconuenience therin to haue Christ to be supreme head The meaning why K. Henry was titled ●upreame head and the B. of Rome also and when I was ready to haue answered that there could not be two heds of one church and haue more plainly declared the vanity of that his reason the L. Chancellor said what saist thou make vs a direct answer whether thou wilt be one of this catholike church or not with vs in the state in which we are now Rog. My L. without faile I cannot beleeue that ye your selues do thinke in your harts that he is supreme head in forgeuing of sinne The Bishops contrary to theyr former doinges and wrytinges c. as is before sayd seyng you all the bishops of the realme haue now xx yeares long preached and some of you also written to the contrary and the Parliament hath so long agone condescended vnto it And there he interrupted me thus L. Chan. Tush that Parlament was with most great crueltie constrained to abolish and put away the primacie frō the bishops of Rome Rog. With crueltie Why then I perceyue that you take a wrong way with crueltie to perswade mens consciences For it should appeare by your doyngs now that the cruelty then vsed hath not perswaded your consciences How would you then haue our consciences perswaded wyth cruelty L. Chan. I talke to thee of no cruelty but that they were so often so cruelly called vpon in that Parlament to let the Act go forward yea and euen with force driuen thereunto where as in this parliament it was so vniformly receiued as is aforesayd Rog. Here my L. Paget told me more plainly what my L. Chauncellor ment Truth goeth not by number nor by the greater part Unto whom I answered My Lord what will ye conclude thereby that the first Parliament was of lesse authoritie because but few condescended vnto it and this last Parliament of great authoritye because more condescended vnto it It goeth not my Lord by the more or lesser part but by the wyser truer godlier part and I would haue sayd more but the L. Chauncellour interrupted me with his question willyng me once agayne to aunswer him For sayd he we haue mo to speake with thē thou 10. Prisoners out of New●●t● to be 〈◊〉 before 〈…〉 〈…〉 the 10. yelded which must come in after thee And so there were in deed ten persons moe out of Newgate besides two that were not called Of which ten one was a citizen of London which graunted vnto them and ix of the contrarye which all came to prison agayne and refused the cardinals blessing and the authoritie of his
