Ioane Catmer.
THe fift and last of this heauenly company of Martyrs, was Ioane Catmer of the parish of Hith, wife (as it should seeme) of George Catmer burned before.* 1.1 Who be∣ing asked what shee sayde to Confession made to a Priest, denyed to be confessed to any suche priest. And moreouer, the Iudge speaking of the sacrament of the altar,* 1.2 she sayd and affirmed that shee beleeued not in that sacrament, as it was then vsed, for that it was made (sayd shee) a very i∣doll. In this her confession she remaining and persisting, was by the like sentence cruelly of them condemned, and so suffered with the foresayd Thomas Lomas, and the o∣ther three fellow Martyrs, ratifying and confessing wyth their bloud the true knowledge and doctrine o•• the glori∣ous Gospel of Christ Iesus our Sauiour.
These 5. persones were burnt at 2. stakes and one fire together at Canterbury, as is before sayd. Who, when the fire was flaming aboute their eares, did singe Psalmes. Whereat the good Knight Syr Iohn Norton being there present, wept bitterly at the sight thereof.
The Iudges and the other assistantes which sate vp∣pon her, and the other foure aboue mentioned, were Ri∣chard Faucet, Iohn Warren, Iohn Milles, Robert Col∣lins, and Iohn Baker the Notarie.* 1.4
