Do not I know you for a favourer
Of this new sect? Ye are not sound.

CROMWELL
Not sound? [115]

GARDINER
Not sound, I say.

CROMWELL
Would you were half so honest:
Men’s prayers then would seek you, not their fears.

GARDINER
I shall remember this bold language.

CROMWELL
Do.
Remember your bold life too.

CHANCELLOR
This is too much;
Forbear, for shame, my lords.

GARDINER

I have done.

CROMWELL

And I. [120]

CHANCELLOR
Then thus for you, my lord: it stands agreed,
I take it, by all voices, that forthwith
You be conveyed to th’Tower a prisoner,
There to remain till the King’s further pleasure

Be known unto us. Are you all agreed, lords? [125]
