The purgation or aunswer of Anne Askew against the false surmises of her recantation.
I Haue read the processe whiche is reported of them that knowe not the truth, to be my recantation. But as the Lord liueth, I neuer ment thing lesse then to recant. Not∣withstanding this I confesse, that in my first troubles, I was examined of the Bishop of London about the Sacra∣ment. Yet had they no graunt yf my mouth, but this, that I beleeued therein as the word of God did bynd me to be∣leeue, more had they neuer of me. Then he made a Copie whiche is nowe in print, and required me to set thereunto my hand. But I refused it. Then my ij. sureties did wyll me in no wise to sticke thereat, for it was no great matter, they sayd.
Then with much ado, at the last I wrote thus: I Anne Askew do beleue this, if Gods word do agree to the same, and the true catholike church. Then the B. beyng in great displeasure with me, because I made doubtes in my wri∣ting, commaunded me to prison: where I was a whyle, but afterwards by the meanes of frendes, I came out a∣gaine. Here is the truth of that matter. And as concerning the thing that ye couet most to know, resort to the sixt of Iohn, and be ruled always thereby. Thus fareye well.
Anne Askew.
