Also that the said Margery said to this deponent: Joan, it appeareth by your countenance, that you intend to disclose this that I have said unto you: and this deponent sware that she would never disclose it, without the said Margery gave her occasion. Then said Margery unto this deponent if thou do accuse me unto the Bishop, I will do unto thee, as I did once unto a certain Friar a Carmelite of Yarmouth which was the best learned Friar in all the country. Then this deponent desired to know what she had done to the friar. Unto whom Margery answered that she had talked with the said Friar, rebuking him because he did beg, saying that it was no alms to give him any good thing, except he would leave his habit, and go to the plough, and so he should please God more, then following the life of some of those Friars. Then the Friar required of the said Margery whether she could teach him or tell him any thing else. Then the said Margery (as she affirmed to this deponent) declared to this Friar the gospels in english, and then the Friar departed from her. After this the same Friar accused the said Margery of heresy, and she understanding that the Friar had accused her: accused the Friar again, that he would have known her carnally, and because she would not consent unto him, the Friar had accused her of heresy. And moreover she said that her husband would have killed the Friar therefore: and so the Friar for fear held his peace, and went his way for shame.
Also that the said Margery said to this deponēt: Ione, it appeareth by your countenaunce, that you intend to disclose this that I haue sayde vnto you: and this deponent sware that she woulde neuer disclose it, without the sayde Margery gaue her occasion. Then sayde Margery vnto this deponent if thou do accuse me vnto the Bishop, I wil do vnto thee, as I did once vnto a certayne Frier a Carmelite of Varmouth which was the best learned Frier in all the country. Then this deponēt desired to know what she had done to the frier. Unto whom Margery answered that she had talked with the sayd Frier, rebuking him because he did beg, saying that it was no almes to geue hym any good thing, except he would leaue his habite, and go to the plough, and so he should please God more, then folowing the life of some of those Friers. Then the Frier requyred of the sayd Margery whether she could teach him or tel him any thing els. Thē the sayd Margery (as she affirmed to this deponent) declared to this Frier the gospels in enlish, and then the Frier departed from her. After this the same Frier accused the sayd Margery of heresy, and she vnderstanding that the Frier had accused her: accused the Frier agayne, that he would haue knowne her carrally, and because she would not consent vnto him, the Frier had accused her of heresy. And moreouer she sayd that her husbād would haue killed the Frier therefore: and so the Frier for feare held his peace, and went his way for shame.
