This Elizabeth Folks ¹the day before she was condemned, ⟨p. 239⟩was examined only upon this article, whether she believed that there was a Catholic Church or no? Unto which she answered, yea: then was she immediately by Boswell's means the Scribe, delivered unto her uncle Holt of Colchester to be kept, who carried her home to his house, where she might have departed if she would: means being offered to convey her away. But she hearing that some doubted that she had yielded to the Pope (although it was most untrue) would in no wise content her self, but wept, and was in such anguish of mind, that (no remedy) she would to the Papists again. And coming before them at Cosines house at the white hart in Colchester, she was at utter defiance with them and their doctrine, and so was condemned with the rest, as also were the 4. that were put into the castle. Of which company, Rose Allen ²after her condemnation song for great joy to the wonder of many.
