This year, Hieronimus Savonarola, a monk in Italy, with two other Friars, named Dominic and Sylvester, which favoured Savonarola's learning, were condemned to death at Florence: the articles wherefore they suffered, were these. 1. Free justification by faith. 2. 1The communion under both kinds. 3. Indulgences & pardons of the pope, are of no effect. 4. For preaching against the filthy life of the clergy. 5. For denying the Popes supremacy. 6. 2The keys were not given to Peter alone, but unto the universal Church. 7. That the Pope was Antichrist, because he did attribute more to his own indulgences, and pardons, then to Christs merits. 8. That the Popes excommunication is not to be feared. 9. That auricular confession is not necessary. 10. That he had moved the city to uproar. 11. That he contemned the Popes citation. 12. That he had slandered the Pope. 13 That he said, Italy must be cleansed with Gods scourge, for the manifold wickedness of the Princes and Clergy. They were first hanged up openly in the market place, and after ⟨p. 394⟩burnt to ashes, and the ashes cast into the river of Arum, the 25. day of May, Ex Catalogo, testium Illirici.
