Then said the Master of the University of Cologne: when thou wast at Cologne thou didst propound many erroneous matters: then he said, show me one error: he said I remember them not now, but they shall be objected against thee: Then said the Master of the University of Heidelberg, when thou wast with us, thou didst propound many erroneous matters, and compared the Trinity to Water, Snow, and Ice; That which I taught there, I will teach here, and ⟨p. 126⟩teach me that they be erroneous and I will recant: then certain cried out let him be burned: he answered, if my death do delight you let it be so: the Archbishop of Rygen sent some of his servants which led away Master Jerome, béing fast bound in chains both by the hands and neck, and when it was night they carried him into a ower of the City, tying him to a great block, his feet in the stocks, his hands being made fast upon them: the block was so high he could not sit thereon, but his head must hang downward: thus he lay two days & two nights relieved only with bread and water, & one M.
