John Clerk of Meldon in France, a Wool-carder, for saying the Pope was Antichrist in a Bill he set upon the Church doors against the Pope's Pardons, was to be whipped three several times, and each time marked on the forehead with a note of infamy, whose Mother being a Christian woman, and seeing those things done to her Son, courageously emboldened him, crying, Blessed be Christ, and welcome be these marks. He afterwards removing to Metz in Lotharing, the night before the ⟨p. 40⟩people idolatrously, according to their Custom, was to go out of Town to worship some Images, he brake them down; and the next day the Monks and people coming to worship, found their Images broken, whereof they suspected this Clerk, who being examined confessed the fact, and showed his reason for it; whereat the people were enraged, and cut off his right arm, and with Pincers pulled off his nose, arms, and breast, and then burnt him, An. 1514. who patiently endured it, singing, Their Images be of Silver and Gold, the work of mens hands.
