[26] In Fox's third volume of "Ecclesiastical History," 1630, p. 799, is an account of one Richard Woodman, who was burnt at Lewes, with nine others, on the 22d of June 1557. The circumstances attending his apprehension resemble those above-mentioned, and seem to be the same as are alluded to by the author of this morality. [27] [_i.e._, What of this?] [28] An expression of dislike or aversion used by almost every writer of the times. Ben Jonson's _Cynthia's Revels_, A. iv. S. 5--"Of all nymphs i' the court, _I cannot away with her_." _Poetaster_, A. iii. S. 4--"And do not bring your eating player with you there; _I cannot away with her_." _Bartholomew Fair_, A. i. S. 6--"Good 'faith, I will eat heartily too, because I will be no Jew, _I could never away with_ that stiff-necked generation." [Gifford's edit. iv. 400-1.] [29] [Beat him by stratagem. See Halliwell's Diet, in _v._] [30] _i.e._, I care not. Camden in his "Remains" says, "I _force_ not of such fooleries." Shakspeare has the same phrase.--_S._ [31] [In that direction sets the tide of opinion. This saying is in Heywood's collection, 1562.] ACTUS III., SCENA 1. LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL, NEW CUSTOM, PERVERSE DOCTRINE. L. OF GOSPEL. They be not this way, as far as I can see, Unless they have hidden themselves up privily. For in presence of Light of the Gospel and Primitive Constitution, Undoubtedly such reprobates can have no habitation. NEW CUS. Verily I do find it so even as you have said, For at your sight they all fly away as dismayed. Wherefore I have great cause to give you thanks, Light Of the Gospel, that put thus my enemies to flight. L. OF GOSPEL. Nay, they be my enemies also, that be enemies to you. Insomuch as your dealings be both virtuous and true. For what is the Gospel else, whereof I am Light, But truth, equity, verity and right? They be enemies to God too, and all liars impure, Insomuch as he is called Verity in the scripture. And the lying lips, with speakers of vanity, The Lord himself will revenge with extremity. But see, what is he that approacheth so nigh? NEW CUS. Of whom I told you: it is Perverse Doctrine verily. L. OF GOSPEL. Then let us a little step out of the way, If haply we may hear what he will say.
