Patrick Hamleton 1a Scotchman borne of a noble house, the first day of March was condemned for the testimony of the trueth, and burned at Saint Andrews in Scotland, he (at the University of Marpurge in Germany, by conference with Franciscus Lambertus) did so grow in knowledge and zeal, that he first there set up conclusions to be disputed of concerning faith and works,2 The articles wherefore he was condemned, were these: 1. Man hath no free will. 2. Man is justified by faith in Christ. 3. A man so long as he liveth is not without sin. 4. He is unworthy to be called a Christian which believeth not that he is in grace. 5. Good works do not make a good man, though a good man doth good works. 6. An evil man bringeth forth evil works, which being repented of, do not make an evil man. 7. Faith, hope and charity cannot be severed in one man in this life. For the condemnation and burning of this man, the divines of Lovane, by letters gave thanks unto the Archbishop of Saint Andrews, and the Divines of Scotland,
