And discerne that theyr faith whose iustification they iustly flye by the filthines of theyr frutes Which reason was whilom among them of such force that in stede of disprouing doctrine they curiously searched others innocent liues as blamelesse them selues Not fearing as the abhominable harlotte who vpbrayded her chaste neyghbour with her owne shame most impudently to appeache others of vnhonest

charge were chosen Cuthbert Scot not long before consecrated bishoppe of Westchester Nicolas Ormanet an Italian Archepryeste of the people of Bodolon in the dyocesse of Uexon professed in both the lawes Thomas VVatson elected bishop of Lincolne Iohn Christoferson elected byshop of Chychester and Henrye Cole Prouoste of the Colledge of Eton. There was good cause whye the matter was inespecially committed to these persons For as touchinge Ormanet it is well knowen that he was a man of muche estimation wyth Iulius the thyrde at that tyme bishop of Rome whose businesse they dyd sitte vpon in this Commission and that for the same purpose he was appoynted to come into Englande wyth Cardinall Poole bycause that without his knowledge as in whō he put his chyefe trust and confidence the byshop would haue nothynge done that was of any importance or weyght The residewe were sent thither eyther for experience in matters of thuniuersitye or els they seemed of all others most meete to be put in trust with thandlynge of that case because they were taken for moste stoute Champions and earnest defenders of the Romyshe relygion
