Edmond Schethers Answer unto. 2 & 3 I can not depose by the relation of Mr parkrst selleger & other
To the first I know not but by relation of whether Mr parkurst & Mr senllenger presented the same articles or no or whether they be fewr or alterd. but by ther own relation.
I did not here the witnes published but I hard the witnes say that thei wold depose in them if thei wer examened. I know not.
I hard him my lordes grace Rebuke mr serles for that he hadd preached so much of ymages and my lordes grace said that idolum & imago was one for the one was the grek woord & the other the laten./ otherwise I know not that he did rebuk him. & I hard not my lordes grace rebuke him for thos woordes.
I hard his grace say in his chamber befor many prebendaris & prechers that the kynges plesur was to have .3. prechers of the new lerning & iii of the old but I hard not thes woordes spoken in the consistory.
I did se .3. which cam voluntaryli to testifie for Mr serles which could not be admitted as master serles said Also I required that the vicar of northgat & mr gardener master sellenger coxston might be examened in my first article which wer redy but by reson of delay the said vicar was wered & not examened & whether the other wer examyned or no I can not tell.
In the deposition of my first article then obiected was admitted george may & Sir humfrey cherdayn parsons suspecte for evell opynions by common fame as I herd and certayn which deposed aganst mr serles wer likwise suspecte And befor sentens I desired my lordes grace to have respect to the parsons that did depose.
I thinke them innocent prechers And I did redde a declaration of articles which wer surmised aganst me : but by whome serles was committed to prison I can not tell
By reison that I and serles wer willed to redde declarations in the which it was mentioned that that which we said was seditiously spoken I thinke the occasion of our my accasation did rise that I somtymes spak aganst evell opynions by the which wherfor have spoken the lesse aganst the same bicause I wold like occasion. & further I can not say in the article.
Sir bland mr scory sir turner have be noted much bolder syn of the said accusation vpon what occasion ells I can not a hath hadd displesur for complaning I know not.
I know nother of the ymages nor of the letters.
mr baker sent woord (as I remember) that he merveled I tar did not bring the book perfectly maid & sent no other know.
