Jacobus ⟨p. 178⟩Latromus of the same university of Louvain, after that he had been at Brussels, and there thinking to do a great act against Luther and his fellows, made an oration before the Emperor so foolishly and ridiculously that he was laughed to scorn almost of the whole court: then returning from thence to Louvain again, in his public lecture he fell into open madness, uttering such words of desperation and blasphemous impiety, that other Divines which were present, were fain to carry him away as he was raving, and to shut him into a close chamber. From that time to his very last breath, he had never any thing else in his mouth, but that he was damned and rejected of God, and that there was no hope of salvation ⟨p. 179⟩for him, because that wittingly and against his knowledge, he withstood the manifest truth of Gods word. Crescentius the Popes Legate and Vicegerent in the council of Trent; was sitting all the day long until dark night in writing of letters to the Pope: after his labour when night was come, thinking to refresh himself, he began to rise; and at his rising, behold there appeared to him a mighty black dog of an huge bigness, his eyes flaming with fire, & his ears hanging low down well near to the ground, which began to enter in and straight to come towards him, and so to couch under the board. The Cardinal not a little amazed at the sight thereof, somewhat recovering himself called immediately to his ⟨p. 180⟩servants which were in the outward chamber next by, to bring in a candle and to seek for the dog. But when the dog could not be found there nor in any other chamber about, the Cardinal thereupon stricken with a sudden conceit of mind, immediately fell into such a sickness, whereof his Physicians which he had about him could not with all their industry and cunning cure him: and thereupon he died. Steven Gardiner, when a certain Bishop came unto him and put him in mind of Peter denying his master, answered again that he had denied with Peter, but never repented with Peter, and so (to use M. Foxes words) stinkingly and unrepentantly died. More examples might be added, but these shall suffice.
Iacobus ⟨p. 178⟩Latromus of the same vniuersitie of Louaine, after that he had beene at Bruxels, and there thinking to doe a great acte against Luther and his fellowes, made an oration before the Emperour so foolishly and ridiculously that he was laughed to scorne almost of the whole court: then returning frō thence to Louaine againe, in his publike lecture he fell into open madnesse, vttering such wordes of desperatiō and blasphemous impietie, that other Diuines which were present, were faine to carie him away as he was rauing, and to shut him into a close chamber. From that time to his very last breath, he had neuer any thing else in his mouth, but that he was damned and reiected of God, and that there was no hope of saluation ⟨p. 179⟩for him, because that wittingly and against his knowledge, he withstood the manifest truth of Gods word. Crescentius the Popes Legat and Vicegerent in the councell of Trent; was sitting all the day long vntill darke night in writing of letters to the Pope: after his labour when night was come, thinking to refresh himselfe, he began to rise; and at his rising, behold there appeared to him a mightie blacke dogge of an huge bignesse, his eyes flaming with fire, & his eares hanging low downe well neare to the grounde, which beganne to enter in and straight to come towardes him, and so to couch vnder the boord. The Cardinall not a little amazed at the sight thereof, somewhat recouering himselfe called immediately to his ⟨p. 180⟩seruants which were in the outward chamber next by, to bring in a candle and to seeke for the dogge. But when the dogge could not be found there nor in any other chamber about, the Cardinall thereupon stricken with a sudden conceit of minde, immediately fel into such a sicknesse, whereof his Physitians which he had about him could not with all their industrie and cunning cure him: and thereupon he died. Steuen Gardiner, when a certaine Bishop came vnto him and put him in minde of Peter denying his master, answered againe that he had denied with Peter, but neuer repented with Peter, and so (to vse M. Foxes words) stinkingly and vnrepentantly died. More examples might be added, but these shall suffice.
