As S. Gardiner was the professed enemy of the Gospel, so was Doctor Redman 1in those days, for his learning famous, a favourer of the same: and at his death, which was anno 1551. made profession thereof in the presence of M. Yong, and others.

Anno 1552. §1552W. Gardiner, a Merchants servant of Bristow, the first day of September, in the very solemnization of a marriage betwixt the son of the king of Portugal, and the Spanish kings daughter, in the presence of the princes, and Cardinals, and Bishops, determined to have stepped to the Cardinal at the Altar, and to have wrong the chalice out of his hands, and to have defaced their popish God, but that the press of people did hinder him. So the next sunday, where like pomp was used, and no less Idolatry than before, W. Gardiner, 1in the presence of the king, and all his Nobles, and Citizens, with the one hand snatched away the cake from the priest, and trod it under his feet: and with the other overthrew the chalice, which made them all amazed Then one drawing out his dagger, gave him a great wound in the shoulder: and as he was about to have stricken him again, to have slain him: the king twice commanded to have him saved. So by that means they abstained from murder.
