“And there the said Chancellor perswading what he coulde to turn them from the truth, could by no meanes preuaile of his purpose. Whereby minding in the ende to giue sentence on them, hee burst out in teares, intreating them to remember themselues, and to turne againe to the holie mother church, for that they were deceiued and out of the truth, and that they shold not wilfully cast awaie themselues, with such like words. “Now as he was thus labouring them and seemed very loth to read the sentence, (for they were the first that he condemned in that dioces,) the Register there sitting by, being weary, belike, of tarying, or else perceiuing the constant martyrs to bee at a point, called upon the chancellor in haste, to rid them out of the waie, and to make an ende. At the which words the chancellor read the condemnation ouer them with teares, and deliuered them to the secular power. “_Their Articles_. “The articles obiected to these, and commonlie to all other condemned in that diocesse by Doctor Hopton, Bishoppe of Norwich, and by Dunning his chancellor, were these: “1. First, was articulate against them that they beleeued not the Pope of Rome to bee supreame head immediatelie under Christ in earth of the uniuersall catholike church. “2. Item, that they beleeued not holie bread and holie water, ashes, palmes, and all other like ceremonies used in the church to bee good and laudable for stirring up the people to deuotion. “3. Item, that they beleeued not, after the words of consecration spoken by the priest, the very naturall body of Christ, and no other substance of bread and wine to be in the sacrament of the altar. “4. Item, that they beleeued it to be idolatry to worship Christ in the sacrament of the altar. “5. Item, that they tooke bread and Wine in remembrance of Christ’s passion. “6. Item, that they would not followe the crosse in procession, nor be confessed to a priest. “7. Item, that they affirmed no mortall man to haue in himselfe free will to do good or euill. {40} “For this doctrine and articles aboue prefixed these three (as is aforesaid) were condemned by doctor Dunning, and committed to the secular power, Sir John Sylliard beinge the same time high sheriffe of Northfolke and Suffolke.
