Anno 1511. §1511William Sweeting, alias Clerk, was condemned, and burned for a relapse. He was taken at Chelsith, where he kept the Town beasts, and was their Netheard. His articles were, against Pilgrimages, real presence, worshipping of Images. He had dwelt 16. years and ⟨p. 412⟩more with the prior of Saint Osich, named George Lawn; where he so turned the Prior, that he was afterward compelled abjure: which also William himself through frailty had done before. He being asked, what cause he had why he should not be judged as relapse, said: he had nothing else, but only that he committed himself to the mercy of God. With William Sweeting was also condemned the same time,1 of the parish of Saint Nicholas in Colchester, Anno 1505. He had been abjured by William Warham Archbishop of Canterbury. They were burned together in Smithfield at one fire, the 18. of October, his Articles were against images, pilgrimages, worshipping of Images, the sacrament of the altar, &c.
