The historie of diuers good men and women, per∣secuted for religion in the Citie and Dioces of the Bishop of London, briefly extracted out of the Regi∣sters of Richard Fitziames.

AMongest and besides the great number of the faithful martyrs and professours of Christe, that constantly in the strength of the holy Ghost, gaue their liues for the te∣stimonie of his truthe,* 1.1 I finde recorded in the Register of London, betwene the yeares of our Lorde. 1509. and 1527. the names of diuers other persons both men and women: who in the fulnes of that darke and mystie times of igno∣raunce, had also some portion of Gods good spirite whiche induced them to the knowledge of his trueth and Gospel, and were diuersly troubled, persecuted, and imprisoned for the same: notwithstanding by the proud, cruell and bloudy rage of the Catholique seat, and through the weaknes and frailtie of their owne nature (not then fully strengthned in God) it was againe in them, for the time,* 1.2 suppressed and kept vnder, as appeareth by their seueral abiuratiōs made before Richard Fitziames then bishop of London (in hys time a most cruell persecutor of Christes church) or els be∣fore his vicar general deputed for y^e same. And for asmuch as many of the aduersaries of Gods trueth, haue of late dayes disdainefully and braggingly cried out, and made demaunds in their publique assemblies and yet do, asking where this our church and religion was wythin these 50. or 60. yeares: I haue thought it not altogether vaine, somewhat to stop such lying crakers, both by mentioning theyr names, and likewyse opening some of the chiefe and principal matters, for which they wer so vnmercifully af∣flicted and molested, thereby to geue to vnderstand, as wel the continuaunce and consent of the true church of Christe in that age, touching the chiefe poynts of our faith, though not in like perfection of knowledge and cōstancie in all: as also by the way, something to touch what fond and friuo∣lous matters the ignoraunt Prelates shamed not in that time of blindnesse to obiect against the poore & simple peo∣ple, accounting them as heynous and great offences, yea, such as deserued death both of body and soule. But least I shauld seeme too prolixe and tedious heerein, I will nowe briefly proceede wyth the storie, and first begin wyth theyr names, whych are these.
