Richard Roth.

IN the godly felowship of the forenamed three Martyrs, was also this Rich. Roth,* 1.1 as is alreadye specified. Who being apprehended and brought vp vnto the bish. of Lon∣don, was by him examined y^e 4. day of Iuly: at what time the bish. did earnestly trauel to induce him to beleeue that there were 7. sacraments in Christes churche, and that in the sacrament of the altar (after the words of consecration duely spoken) there remained y^e very substance of Christes body and bloud and none other. Wherunto, (at y^e present) he made only this aunsweare: that if the scriptures did so teach him, and that he might be by the same so perswaded, he would so beleue, otherwise not. But at another exami∣nation (which was the 9. day of Sept.) he declared plain∣ly, that in the said sacramēt of the altar (as it was then v∣sed) there was not the very body and bloud of Christ, but that it was a dead God, and that the Masse was detesta∣ble and contrary to Gods holy woorde and will, from the which faith and opinion he would not goe or decline.

The next daye being the 10. day of the same moneth of September, the Bishop at his house at Fulham (by waye of an article) laid and obiected against him: that he was a comforter and boldener of hereticks, and therefore hadde wrytten a letter to that effect vnto certaine that were bur∣ned at Colchester: the copie whereof ensueth.
