When he came thither he was joyfully received of the Parish-priest, and others: The Papists hearing hereof, before he had preached, stormed and fumed, especially the Prior of the Black Monastery, who went to the Official, to take counsel what was to be done, least they lose their Kingdom, they took counsel to withstand the beginning, that he might not have leave to preach, least their crafts and wickednesses being laid open, it were folly after to resist, remembering what happened at Breame.

When he came thither he was ioyfully rec•iued of the Parish-priest, and others: The Papists hearing hereof, before he had preached, stormed and fumed, especiallie the Prior of the Black Monastery, who went to the Officiall, to take councell what was to be done, least they lose their Kingdome, they tooke councell to withstand the beginning, that he might not haue leaue to preach, least their crafts and wickednesses being laid open, it were folly after to resist, remembring what happened at Breame.

The next day early in the morning, the Prior, with the Chancellor, went to the forty eight Presidents, being unlearned men, and persuaded them what a seditious Fellow was come from Breame▪ and there-withal, if they would put him to death, what favour they should have of the Bishop of Breame, whereupon they decreed he should be put to death. Further, they had Letters from the forty eight Presidents unto the Parish-priest, commanding him under great pain, that he• should send away the said Henry without preaching. The Priest marvelled at their meddling in such matters, being it belonged not to them, but the Parish-Priest only to receive and put out a Preacher: and showing this to Henry, he said he was sure he must dye for the Gospel, and it was as near to Heaven to dye there, as in another place: and being he was sent for, and was sure it would be grateful to the people, he resolved to preach: and after the Sermon, the whole Congregation be wailed, called together the Priors, delivered them the Letter from the Presidents, and that they should be fined a thousand Gildrons, if they suffered him to preach. They were moved, because it was against the custom of their Country as aforesaid: yet they concluded to keep Henry for their Preacher, and defend him. In the after noon he preached again, the next day the Citizens sent Ambassadors to the Presidents, offering to answer all causes for their Preacher, and they declared what godly Sermons he had preached, and the Parish-Priest wrote to excuse himself, that Henry never intended sedition, but to preach the Word truly, and offered himself ready to answer for the said Henry whensoever he should be called: most earnestly desiring not to credit the Monks, which being blind with hatred and Avarice, would suppress the truth. After he Preached three forenoons and afternoons, and taught clearly Justification to be only by Faith in Christ, and not by works, they all rejoiced, and desired God that he would send such a Preacher to continue amongst them.
