OUer and besides this foresayd Roger Coo, Wil. Allen, Iames Abbes of Stokennayland,* 1.1 Robert Samuell and other moe, in the same yeare vpon the 12. of August, was also with them condemned Thomas Cobbe of Ha∣uerhill Butcher, executed in the moneth of September a∣foresayd. Who beyng brought and examined by Michaell Dunnyngs the bloudy Chauncellour of Norwich, first whether he beleeued that Christ is really and substantial∣ly in the Sacrament of the aultar, aunswered that the bo∣dy of Christ borne of the blessed virgin was in heauē, and otherwise (he sayd) he would not aunswere, because hee had read it in the Scripture,* 1.2 that Christ did ascende, and dyd neuer descend since, and therefore sayd that he had not learned in the Scripture, that Christ should be in the Sa∣crament.
Furtheymore, beyng demanded whether he would o∣bey the lawes of the realme of England,* 1.3 made for the vni∣tie of fayth, or no, he aunswered that his body should be at the King and Queenes commaundement so farre as the law of God would suffer. &c. In fine the sayd Tho. Cobbe beyng condemned the same xij. day of August, with the o∣ther his fellowmartyrs, was burned in the towne of Tet∣ford. An. 1555. Mens. Septemb.
