Of the which nun ber of Scholars were these two, Frederick Danuile, and Frances Rebezies, neither of them being past twenty years of age.2 How valiantly they behaved themselves in those tender years, sustaining the quarrel of our Lord Jesus Christ, what confession they made what conflicts they had, disputing with the Doctors of Sorbonne, their own letters left in writing do make record: the effect whereof briefly to touch is this: And first touching Frederick Danuile. The Lieutenant criminal, who before was half suspected, but now thinking to prove himself a right catholic, and to recover his estimation again, came to him beginning with these words of Scripture: Who so ever denieth me before men him will I deny before my father &c: 3That done he asked him, what he thought of the Sacrament. To whom Frederick answered, that if he should think Christ Jesus to be between the Priests hands after the Sacramental words (as they call them) then should he believe a thing contrary to the holy Scripture, and to the Creed, which saith,4 that he sitteth on the right hand of the Father.

Whereunto he answered so that he rather did astonish the enemies, then satisfy them. Furthermore, the 12. of September, the said Frederick again was brought before Benedictus Jacobin, and his companion a Sorbonist, called Noster Magister. who thus began to argue with him. The Doctor. Which think you to be the true Church: the Church of the Protestants, or the Church of Paris? The Martyr.
