Their names were Richard Woodman, George Stephens, Robert Maynard, Alexander Hoseman, his servant Tomasin a Wood, Maynard's maid, Margery Morris, James Morris her son, Denis Burgis, Ashdon's wife, Groves ⟨p. 233⟩wife. Rich. Woodman was twice imprisoned for the testimony of Jesus. At the first apprehension, he was imprisoned a year and a half in the kings bench, and afterward 8. weeks in the Bishops coalhouse, lacking one day. His first apprehension was for reproving a Preacher in the pulpit, in the Parish of Wambleton, where he dwelt. For which he was twice before the Bishop of Chichester, and five times before the Commissioners, and then sent to London's Cole-house, and many times called before him.
