Simon Miller 1being at Norwich, and seeing the people coming from their Popish service, asked them where he might have the Communion. At which words, a Papist said: he would bring him where he should not miss, and brought him to the Chancellor of Norwich, who as he was examining him, spied his confession which he had put into his shoe, which did appear: and asked if he would stand to the same. Which when he said he constantly would do, he was committed to a keeper in the Bishops house: from whence (on what condition it is uncertain) he was dismissed, and went home to his house at Lin, Where (when he had set all things in order) he returned again to his Prison in the Bishops house, and there continued constant in the profession of the trueth, till by the B. and his Chancellor he was condemned to death.
