Cumque ad iussionem regis residentes, verbum ei vitae, una cum omnibus qui aderant eius comitibus praedicarent, respondit ille dicens: Pulchra sunt quidem verba et promissa quae adfertis; sed quia nova sunt, et incerta, non his possum adsensum tribuere, relictis eis quae tanto tempore cum omni Anglorum gente servavi.
And when they sitting down, as the king did bid them, preached unto him the word of life and also to all his household there present, he answered them, saying: The words and promises you give us are fair; but yet, for that they are strange and uncertain, I cannot rashly assent unto them, forsaking those things which this long time I have observed with all the people of the English.
