In this Table aboue prefixed, thou hast, gentle reader, to see and vnderstād: First the number and names of these good men and wemen troubled and molested by the Churche of Rome, and all in one yeare: of whom few or none were learned, beyng simple lobourers and artificers, but as it pleased the Lorde to worke in them knowledge and vnderstandyng, by readyng a few Englishe bookes, such as they could get in corners. Secondly what were their opinions we haue also described. And thirdly herein is to be noted moreouer, the blind ignorāce & vncourteous dealing of the bishops against thē, not only in that they, by their violēt othe, & captious interrogatories, constreyned the children to accuse their parentes, and parentes the children: the husband the wife, and wife the husband.

And first agaynst pilgremage and agaynst worshippyng of Images, they vsed this texte of the reuelat. Apocal. 9. I saw horses in a vision, and the heades of them, as the heades of Lyons: smoke, fier, and brimstone came out of their mouthes. VVith these iij plagues, the third part of men were slayne of the smoke, and of the fire, and of the brimstone that came out of the mouthes of them. They that were not slayne of these iij. plagues, were such as worshipped not deuils, and Jmages of golde and siluer, of brasse, of tree, & of stone. &c. Ex Regist. Longland. Fol. 72.
