Upon the iij. of Julie Anno 1555. died one James Trevisam in the parish of S. Margaret in Lothberie, and was borne upon a table without coffin or any thing else, into Moore-field and there buried. The same night the body was cast up above the ground, and his sheet taken from him, and he left naked. After this, the owner of the field seeing him, buried him again.1 And a fortnight after, the sumner came to his grave, and summoned him to appear at Pauls before his ordinary, to answer such thing as should be laid against him.

The 13. of July, John Bland parson of Adesham in Kent, I. Frankesh, Nicholas Sheterden, and Humphrey Middleton were all four burned together at Canterbury1 for one cause: whereof Frankesh and Bland were ministers and preachers. He was twice before put in prison for the Gospel, and by suite of friends delivered: but because he could not keep silence in his liberty, but preach unto the people, he was the third time imprisoned.
