In this year the marvellous invention of Printing was first found out, by one John Gutenberg in Strasbourg, and afterwards by him made perfect in Ments, our days declare how profitable this hath been unto all the world: if we consider that thereby ignorance is utterly banished, the truth declared, and the Pope and Antichrist utterly subverted, which could never have been, if this most worthy Science had not been found out, for before Books were so scarce, and at such excess price, that few could thereby attain to knowledge: herein the prophecy of the Sibyls is fulfilled, that Flax and Lime should overthrow Antichrist.

Reynold Peacock, ¹Bishop of Chichester, was for his godliness and profession of the Gospel afflicted and tormented, and made to recant, and after put to death in prison: he was brought before Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth, in which Convocation the Duke of Buckingham was present: whereas besides many other Articles, the presence of bread in the Sacrament was laid unto Pecock; insomuch that the Sacrament, the knot of amity, ordained by Christ, to the great comfort of the Church, through the envy of Satan, it turned into a matter of most grievous discord, that no matter hath continued so many years more pernicious to mans salvation: He declared many things worthy of a good Divine: they laboured for their dignity and gain, and so much the more earnestly, because they had gotten an Adversary, whose authority the higher it was in the Church, i• would bring the greater ruin of their tyranny and estimation among the people. First, the matter was attempted by private Colloquies; after by a terrible Judgement, threatening present death, with threatening exhortations, mingled with flattering promises, granting him further time to consult, that the delay of death might make his life the sweeter: They gave him hope of his life and Dignity if he would recant, till at length his mind began to quail: by and by a recantation was made by the Bishops, the effect whereof followeth. Which when he declared unto the people, he did so pronounce that he was carried again to prison, from whence he could not be delivered but by death: The Articles that were mentioned in the Recantation to be recanted were, that first it is not necessary to believe that CHRIST after his death descended into Hell, that it is not necessary to Salvation to believe in the Catholic Church, nor to believe the Communion of Saints, neither the body material in the Sacrament: and that the universal Church may ere in matters pertaining unto Faith; and that it is not necessary to salvation to believe the general Council.
