As He is Lord both day and night, Venter puellae baiulat, So is Mary mother of might, Secreta quae non noverat. _Sing we, etc_. The holy breast of chastity, verbo concepit filium, So brought before the Trinity, Ut castitatis lilium! _Sing we, etc_. Between an ox and an ass enixa est puerpera; In poor clothing clothed He was [Qui] regnat super aethera! _Sing we, etc_. EXPLICIT. +The Examination of Master William Thorpe, priest, of heresy, before Thomas Arundell, Archbishop of Canterbury, the year of our Lord, M.CCCC. and seven.+ +¶ The Examination of the honourable Knight, Sir John Oldcastle, Lord Cobham, burnt by the said Archbishop,[26] in the first year of King Henry the Fifth.+ +¶ Be no more ashamed to hear it, than ye were and be, to do it.+ Footnotes: [26] This is incorrect, Archbishop ARUNDELL condemned Sir JOHN OLDCASTLE on September 25th, 1413, who was then sent to the Tower, see _pp._ 125, 132: from which he escaped; and being recaptured in Wales in 1417, was burnt on the 14th December of that year. But in the meantime, Archbishop ARUNDELL had died on the 14th February, 1414; and HENRY CHICHELEY had become Archbishop. =W. Tindale. 1530.= +¶ Unto the Christian Reader.+ _Grace and peace in our Lord JESUS CHRIST. Read here with judgement, good Reader! the Examination of the blessed Man of GOD, and there thou shalt easily perceive wherefore our Holy Church (as the most unholy sort of all the people will be called) make all their examinations in darkness; all the lay people clean excluded from their counsels._ _For if their lies had been openly confuted, and also that the Accused of Heresy might as well have been admitted to reason their_ Articles _with Counsel, whether they were heresy or no[t], as the Accused of Treason against the King is admitted to his Council to confute his cause and_ Articles, _whether they be treason or not, they should never have murdered nor prisoned so many good Christian men as they have done._ _For their cloaked lies could never have continued so long in the light, as they have done in corners. They, good men! when they come in the pulpit, and preach against the Truth, cry, "If their learning_ [_i.e._, of the Protestants] _were good and true, they would never go in corners; but speak it openly!"_
