¶Thomas Bernard, and Iames Morton Martyrs.
ABout the same time Iohn Longland Byshop of Lin∣colne, burned two vpon one day,* 1.1 the one named Tho. Bernard, and the other Iames Morton: The one for tea∣ching the Lordes prayer in English, and the other for kee∣ping the Epistle of S. Iames translated into English.
In Oxford also the same time or much thereabout, recā∣ted one M. Barber maister of Arte of that Uniuersitie,* 1.2 a man excellently learned. Who being called vp to Lambeth before the Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, was in his ex∣amination so stout in the cause of the sacrament, & so lear∣nedly defended himselfe therein, that (as it is credible affir∣med of them, which yet be aliue, and were present thereat) neyther Cranmer himselfe, nor all they could well answer to his allegations brought out of Austen. Wherin he was so prompe and rype of himselfe, that the Archbishop with the residue of his company, were brought in great admi∣ration of him. Notwithstanding by compulsion of ye time and daunger of the vi. articles, at last hee relented, and re∣turning agayne to Oxford, was there caused to recant. Af∣ter which the good man long prospered not, but ware a∣way. Ex testimonio Rad. Moris.
