Martinum quidem Bucerum contra regulas & dogmata san∣ctorum patrum, necnon Apostolicas Romanae Ecclesiae,* 1.2 & sacro∣rum conciliorum traditiones, Christianaeque religionis, hacte∣nus in Ecclesia consuetos ritus ac processus (qui singulis annis die coenae domini per Romanos Pontifices celebrari & legi con∣sueuerunt, in quibus, inter alia, Wickleffistae, & Lutherani, & om∣nes alij haeretici damnati, & an athematizati fuerunt) de Sacra∣mentis Ecclesiae, praesertim circa illorum numerum, aliter quam sancta mater Ecclesia praedicat & obseruat, sentiendo, & docen∣do, ac sanctae sedis Apostolicae, & summi Pontificis primatum, & authoritatem negando, & publicè damnando, & praesertim hunc articulum.

Quod Ecclesia erret in fide & moribus.

Hic in publicis commitijs expressè defendendo, & illum ve∣rum esse definiendo, & determinando, ac multa alia tam per dam natae memoriae Iohannem Wickleffe & id maxime.

Omnia fato & absoluta necessitate fieri.

Et per Martinum Lutherum & alios haeresiarchas proposita & damnata, quam à se etiam inuenta & fabricata, falsa & haere∣tica dogmata credendo, & sequēdo, ac desuper etiam libros scri∣bendo & imprimi faciendo, impressosq́ue publicando in illisq́ue scripta etiam hic publicè legendo, & in publicis disputationibus defendendo, ac in pertinacione & obstinatione huiusmodi per∣manendo, & decedendo, notorium non solum haereticum, sed haeresiarcham.

ab eo in suis scriptis prolata, impiae memoriae Iohannē Oe∣colampadium, ac Martinum Bucerum praedictum, necnon Phi∣lippum Melancthonem, & Iohannem Brentium, notorios & in∣signes haeresiarchas, & eorum doctrinam, & in eius scriptis im∣pressis & vulgo aeditis,* 1.3 non solum probando, sed summis laudi∣bus attollendo, se non solum haereticis fauere, sed eorum falsis dogmatibus assentire, & ea credere, & probare: ad eaque credē∣da,* 1.4 alios inducere, niti manifeste se ostendit, & hic pro haeretico communiter & notoriè habitus & reputatus, in huiusmodi erro∣re impaenitens decessit, non solum haereticorum fautorem, sed haereicum fuisse, nec non eosdem Martinum Bucerum, & Pau∣lum Phagiū excommunicationis & anathematis, ac alias quas∣cunque contra huiusmodi personas, tam de iure communi, quàm per literas, processum, praedictorum statutas sententias, censuras & poenas damnabiliter incidisse & incurrisse: & eorum memo∣riam condemnandam esse, & condemnamus, ac eorum corpora & ossa quae hoc tempore perniciosissimi schismatis, & aliarum haeresium, in hoc regno vigentium, Ecclesiasticae fuerunt teme∣re tradita sepulturae▪ quatenus ab alijs fidelium corporibus, & ossibus discerni possunt iuxta canonicas sanctiones, exhuman∣da, & procul ab Ecclesia proijcienda, & exhumari & proijci mā∣damus, & eorum libros ac Scripturas, si quae hic reperiantur, pub¦licè comburen. & comburi praecipimus: ac eosdem libros & Scriptuas quibuscunque, tam huius vniuersitatis, quàm oppi∣di, & locorum eis adiacentium, personis, sub poenis, tam ex iure communi, quàm literis processuum praedictorum, seu quomodo libet alias contra haben. & legen. libros haereticos statutis, in∣terdicimus.

After the sentence thus read, the Byshop commaun∣ded their bodies to be digged out of their graues, and be∣yng disgraded from holy orders, deliuered them into the handes of the secular power. For it was not lawfull for such innocent persons as they were, abhorryng from all bloudshed, and detestyng all desire of murder, to put any man to death.
