Wheruppon we took the book & drew owt such articles as we could witnes of And delyvering hym the book said that allthowh we 3 present could not witnes in the articles he hadd delyverd us yet ther was in canterbury that could witnes of them./ Vpon which woordes he willed us to go to canterbury & me (bicause I was yongest) to retoorn agayn after that I hadd maid the booke perfecte in the day & yere and caused it to be subscribed & to bring him the book agayn perfectly maid. & so we departing frome Mr baker went to the bisshope off wynchester & shewed him what Mr baker hadd said to us And he perusing the booke we hadd maid (leving owt tharticles that wer towching the communycation that was betwext my lordes grace & Mr gardener only) he said it was well ynowgh & so badd us go agayn to Mr baker & tell him that he said so. vpon which woordes we retoorned to Mr baker and after that we hadd declared to him my lord of wynchesters mynd he receved the book & so we took our leve of him.
