This book was alleged to have been published or dispersed on
January 22nd, 1584, by one Robert Sutton, a yeoman, and Charles
Ratclyffe, gentleman, both of Aylsham in Norfolk, for which they
were prosecuted; but the indictment was held to be insufficient.[3]
It charges that "Robertus Sutton nuper de Aylesham in comitatu
Norfolciæ yoman vicesimo secundo die Januarii anno regni dominæ
Elizabethæ Dei gratia Angliæ Franciæ et Hiberniæ Reginæ fidei
defensoris &c., vicesimo sexto apud Aylesham prædictam in comitatu
prædicto advisate _anglice advysedly_ et voluntarie publicavit
ut veritati consentaneum quendam librum continentem in se hæc
anglicana verba sequentia videlicet _not to be wyth the Pope is to
be wyth antecryste_ Et sic prædictus Robertus Sutton tunc et ibidem
assistebat _anglice stode wyth_ ad extollendam jurisdictionem
Pontificis Romani præantea usurpatam infra hoc regnum Angliæ contra
formam statuti in hujusmodi casu nuper editi et provisi et contra
pacem dictæ dominæ Reginæ nunc coronam et dignitatem suas &c.
Item alias scilicet die et anno prædictis ad sessionem prædictam
coram præfatis justiciariis per sacramentum juratorum prædictorum
similiter extitit præsentatum quod Carolus Ratclyffe nuper de
Aylesham in comitatu Norffolciæ generosus vicesimo secundo die
Januarii anno regni dominæ Elizabethæ Dei gratia Angliæ Franciæ et
Hiberniæ Reginæ Fidei Defensoris &c. vicesimo sexto apud Aylesham
prædictam in comitatu Norffolciæ prædicto advisate _anglice
advysedly_ et voluntarie publicavit ut veritati consentaneum
quendam librum continentem in se hæc anglicana verba sequentia
videlicet _not to be wyth the Pope is to be wyth antechryste_ Et
sic prædictus Carolus Ratclyffe tunc et ibidem assistebat _anglice
stode wyth_ ad extollendam jurisdictionem Pontificis Romani
præantea usurpatam infra hoc regnum Angliæ contra formam statuti in
hujusmodi casu nuper editi et provisi et contra pacem dictæ dominæ
Reginæ nunc coronam et dignitatem suas &c."
