Moreouer, besides these v. blessed Saintes of GOD whom they so cruelly by their sentence did condemne to death, we finde also in the same Registers of William Warrham, a great number of other, whom they for the same doctrine and lyke Articles caused to be apprehended and put to open recantation: the names of which persons in the Catalogue here folowyng, be these.

See Kent Heresy Proceedings, 1511-12, ed. Norman P. Tanner. Kent Records 26 (Maidstone, 1997), pp. 61-124. Foxe seems to have overlooked Simon Piers of Waldershare (Kent Hersey Proceedings, pp. 59-60).

¶ The Articles layde to these abiurers, appeare in the Registers to be the same which before were obiected to the other v. Martyrs aforesayde: which was, for beleuing and defending.

These charges were used repeatedly in the proceedings of 1511-12; for an example, see Kent Heresy Proceedings, 1511-12, ed. Norman P. Tanner. Kent Records 26 (Maidstone, 1997), p. 34. Foxe is quoting the charges accurately.

MarginaliaTheir articles. 1. FIrst that the sacrament of the aulter was not the very body of Christ, but materiall bread.

2. That cōfessiō of sinnes ought not to be made to a priest.

3. That there is no more power geuen of God to a Priest, then to a lay man.

4. That the solemnisation of Matrimony is not necessary for the weale of mans soule.

5. That the sacrament of extreme vnction, called aneyling, is not profitable nor necessary for mans soule.

6. That Pilgrimages to holy and deuoute places be not necessary nor meritorious for mans soule.

7. That Images of Saints, or of the Crucifixe, or of our Lady, are not to be worshipped.

8. That a mā should pray to no Saint, but onely to God.

9. That holy water and holy bread is not better after the benediction made by the Priest.MarginaliaEx Regist. W. Warrham. Ex verbis Regist. W. Warrham. Fol. 176. an. 1511.

MarginaliaThe doctrine of the Gospell in England before M. Luther begā. By these articles and abiurations of the forenamed persons, thou hast to vnderstand Christian Reader, what doctrine of religion was here styrring in this our Realme of England before the tyme that the name of Martyn Luther was euer heard of here amongst vs.  

Commentary     Close

Foxe is declaring one of his main purposes in supplying accounts of the Lollard martyrs: to demonstrate that there was a 'True Church' before Luther.

MarginaliaThree sortes of proceedinges of the papistes agaynst the heretickes. AS touching the penaunce and penaltie enioyned to these aforesayd, as also to all other such like, first here is to be noted, that the Catholike fathers in their processes of hereticall prauitie, haue three diuers & distinct kynds of iudgementes and proceedinges.

For some they iudge to be burned, to the entent that other beyng brought into terrour by them, they myght therfore more quietly holde vp their kingdome, & reigne as they list.MarginaliaThe processe of the papistes in condemning heretickes. And thus condemned they these v. aforesaid, & notwithstanding they were willing to submit themselues to the bosome of the mother Church, yet could they not be receaued, as by the words of the Register, and by the tenour of their sentence aboue specified, may well appeare.

And this sort of persons thus by them condemned, consisteth either in such as haue bene before abiured, and fallen agayne into relapse: or els such as stand constantly in theyr doctrine, and refuse to abiure: either els such as they intende to make a terrour and example to all other, notwythstanding that they be wylling and ready to submitte themselues, and yet can not be receaued. And of this last sorte were these v. Martyrs last named. So was also Iohn Lambert, who submittyng hymselfe to the kyng, could not be accepted:
