Iohn Cooke Sawyer, Robert Milles alias Plumer,
Sheareman, Alexander Lane a VVheele∣write,
Iames Ashly a Bacheler.
IN August these were burned at S. Edmundsbury by the Bishop of Norwich,
and Sir Edward Walgraue.
Sir Edward said vnto Cooke, why come you not to Church?
Cook.
Because the Sacrament of the Altar is an abhominable Idol: and (sai••
he) the vengeance of God will come vpon all them which do maintaine it.
Sir Edward.
O thou ranke Traytor, if I had as good a Commission to cut
out thy ••ongue as to heare thee, thou shouldst be sure to haue it cut out: then hée
commaunded the Constable to haue him away, saying, hee was both a Traytor
and a Rebell: Then he ••sked Robert Milles why he would not goe vnto Church.
Miles.
Because I will follow no false Gods: then Alexander Lane was asked
why he would not come to Church, he said; his conscience would not serue him so
to doe. After the like manner they passed also with Iames Ashly; so the next day
they appeared and had their condemnations, and were burned as before.
