¶The Persecution and crueltie exer∣cised by the Papistes in the Diocesse of Chichester.

* 1.1ANd now from Lichfield to come to Chichester, al∣though we haue but little to report thereof, for lacke of certaine relation and recordes of that countrey, yet it seemeth no little trouble and persecution there also to haue raged, as in other countreys. For what place was there almost in all the Realme, where the Popes mini∣sters did not besturre them, murtheryng some or other, as in the Acts of this ecclesiastical history may sufficiently ap∣peare. Wherfore as this plague of the popes tiranny was generall to all other people and countries of England, so likewyse in the Diocesse of Chichester, diuers and many there were condemned and martyred for the true testimo∣ny of righteousnesse within the compasse of Queene Ma∣ries raigne. In the number of whom were these.

Martyrs.

...Iohn Foreman, of Estgrimsted.
...Iohn Warner of Berne.
...Christian Grouer of the Archdeacon∣ry of Lewys.
...Thomas Athoth Priest.
...* 1.2Thomas Auyngton of Erdinglie.
...Dennis Burgis of Buxsted.
...Thomas Rauens∣dale of Rie.
...Iohn Milles of Hel∣linglegh.
...Nich Holden of Withiam.
...Iohn Hart of Wi∣thiam.
...Margery Morice of Hethfield.
...Anne Trie of Est∣grenested.
...Iohn Oseward of Woodmancote.
...Thomas Harland of Woodmancote.
...Iames Morice of Hethfield.
...Tho. Dougate of Estgrenested.
...Iohn Ashedon of Ketherfield.

The greatest doers against these godly and true faith∣full Martyrs and sitters vpon their condemnation,* 1.3 were these: Christopherson the Bishop after Day, Rich. Bris∣ley Doctour of Lawe, and Chauncellour of Chichester, Rob. Taylor Bacheler of Lawe his Deputy, Tho. Pac∣card Ciuilian, Anth. Clarke, Albane Langdale Bach. of Diuinitie, &c.
