      Then I asked him, if he were certayne and sure, that it was true that he had spoken. And he sayd he knew well the booke was of I. Frithes making. Then I asked him if he were not ashamed for to iudge of the booke before hee saw it within, or yet knew the truth therof.

      I think this portion really well describes the debate between Protestants and Catholics on matters of interpretation and reading of the bible. It's hard to determine what the truth is in any manner, and the relationship between these two religions exemplified that fact.

      This phrase stuck with me for a multitude of reasons, but I think it's a great example of Anne's witty and cunning nature, and it also shows how she truly felt about the men persecuting and interrogating her.
