Sir William Smith was accused to preach against our lady, and praying to saints, good works, &c. Brooke, for speaking against the sacrament, Rafe, Hare for speaking against holy bread & holy water, Butler was charged to have maintained Adam Damlippe: for which he was dismissed of his Commissariship. And it was determined, that sir W. Smith, Rafe Hare, James Cock, and James Barber, should be sent to Calais, and there to abjure, and do penance: where sir William Smith was enjoined to make the sermon, R. Hare, I. Cock, and James Barber, there standing with fagots upon their shoulders: saving because he dwelled there, Barber was enjoined to bear his fagot iiij. miles of Calais, on the market day: where sir. W. Smith preached also, as before, and so ordered the matter in his sermon, that in effect he denied nothing he had taught before. His accuser was one R. Long, a man at arms in Calais, who falsely swore that he had eaten flesh in Lent, at Brooks house: after which oath, he having taken displeasure some way, ran out of his house, and in the eyes of a number of people, went & drowned himself.
