When a Protestant Heretic was doing Penitence with his Faggot at St. Mary's in Oxford, and the Fryer was Preaching, a mistaken Voice in the street made them think the Heretics had set the Church on fire, and they separated from the Preacher, one Fryer stuck by the belly that was going out at the window; the door being wedged with the crowd, a Boy that saw it open above their heads, got up on their shoulders, and went on 'till he slipped into a Monks Cowl, and there lay still 'till the Monk was got out, and felt something on his back, and thinking it was an heretical Devil, began to conjure him in the Name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, to tell him what he was, and the Boy cried, O good Master I am the Bakers boy, &c. Quaere, Whether this was Schismatics separation.

At Walsall in Stafford-shire, Mr. Lapthorne (known to me in his Justy age) who had been a Non-conformist, but thought it an honour to be converted by a King, and gloried that King James in conference changed him; but being as rustic a thunderer as Father Latimer and more, he was wont to let fly without much fear; one Mr. Martin in the Parish accounted the greatest enemy to Puritans, when he heard what he liked not, would go out of Church; one day (in a path way where Mr. Lane had rode a little before) ⟨p. 33⟩pelting Crabs with a pole, the ground opened and swallowed him and his pole, that they could never be found (being a Cole-mine long on fire;) ever after that, when any one would go out of Church at a blustering passage, Mr. Lapthorne would call to him, Remember Martin; Query, Whether all these were separating Schismatics?
