Remainder | and the spirit of the old persecuter is risen and manifest. Several things being taken out of the book of martyrs which they suffered for. 1 For working on holy dayes, and for not having bells rung when they preached. 2 For eating fles in Lent, and on the dayes called Frydayes, and other dayes which are forbidden. 3 For not going to the church, and for denying the outward crosse. 4 For speaking in the steeple-houses. 5 For meeting together in houses, woods, fields, and barns, and for not going processioning, and for denying organs. 6 For not paying tithes, and churching women. 7 For saying any place was as holy ground to bury in as the church-yard. And 8 For saying that the gift of God could not be bought nor sold for money; for these things the martyrs suffered, and for many other. E.H. T.R |
