Ann. 1424. Richard Belward 1of Erisam, abjured these articles before the B. of Norwich, the 24. of July, & purged himself by his neighbours, and sware that he would neither teach, nor assist any against the church of Rome. His articles were these.2 1. That ecclesiastical ministers have no power to excommunicate. 2. That he held the opinions of sir Joh. Oldcastle. 3. That men ought not to go on pilgrimage. 4. That the Curates sell God on Easter day, when they receive offerings. 5. That he gave counsel against offerings for the dead, & for women that were purified. 6. That saints ought not to be prayed unto, &c. He denied these Articles, and purged himself by three of his neighbours: yet because the bishop greatly suspected him of Lollardy, he sware him, that he should never teach any thing against the Romish Church, and so dismissed him.
