_mumpsimuses_ there.'--`_Mumpsimuses_, knave!' saith he, `_mumpsimuses_! thou art an heretic knave!' and sware a great oath.--Says the Earl of Bath, `I warrant him an heretic knave, indeed.'--`I beseech your Honours,' said I (speaking to the Lords that sat at the table, for these other that stood by be not now of the Council), `be my good Lords. I have offended no laws, and I have served the Queen's Majesty's father and her brother long time, and in their service have spent and consumed part of my living, never having as yet any preferment or recompense, and the rest of my fellows likewise, to our utter undoing, unless the Queen's Highness be good unto us; and for my part I went not forth against her Majesty, notwithstanding I was commanded, nor liked those doings.'--`No, but with your writings you will set us together by the ears,' saith the Earl of Arundel.--`He hath spent his living wantonly,' saith Bourne, `and now saith he hath spent it in the King's service; which I am sorry for: he is come of a worshipful house in Worcestershire.'
