He demanded, "To whom?"
I said, "To GOD."
He asked me, If I had ever confessed to any Friar?
I said, "No, for I do utterly defy them. For how can he forgive me my sins, which is himself a sinner; as all other men are."
"Yes," said he, "he which confesseth himself to a Friar, who is a Father, may have remission of his sins by his mediation."
"Which," I said, "I would never believe."
Wherefore seeing they could seduce me, by no means, to yield to their abominable idolatry; the Secretary cried, "Away with him!" The Inquisitor and he frowned very angerly on me for the answers which I had given: and said, They would make me tell another tale.
So, at the ringing of a little bell, the Keeper came and carried me to ward again.
At my first Examination, when the Keeper should lead me away; the Inquisitor did bless me with the cross: but never after.
