The whipping of a begger at Salisburie,
VNto these aboue specified, is also to be added the mise∣rable whipping of a certain pore starued seely begger, who because he would not receiue the sacramēt at Easter in the towne of Colingborow,* 1.1 was brought to Salisbury with billes and gleiues to the Chancellor doctor Geffrey who cast him into the Dongeon, and after caused him mi∣serably to be whipped of two catchpoles. The sight wher¦of made all godly hearts to rew it, to see such tyrannye to be shewed vppon such a simple and seely wretche: for they which saw him haue reported, that they neuer saw a more simple creature: But what pitie can mooue the heartes of mercilesse Papists?
Besides these aboue named, diuers other also suffered the like scourgings and whippings in their bodies for the faithfull standing in the truth. Of whom it may be sayde, as it is wrytten of the holy Apostles in the Actes. Which departed from the counsel,* 1.2 reioysing that they were coun∣ted woorthy to suffer for the name of Iesus.
Notes
* 1.1
A poore begger whipt at Salis∣bury, for not re∣ceiuing with the Papistes at Ea∣ster.
