Albeit the people of Angrongne had before this time, certain to preach the word of God, and minister the sacraments unto them privately: yet in the year of our Lord 1555. in the beginning of the month of August, the Gospel was openly preached in Angrongne. The ministers and the people intended at the first, to keep themselves still, as secrete as they might: but there was such concourse of people from all parties, that they were compelled to preach openly abroad. For this cause they built them a Church in the mids of Angrongne, where assembles were made, and Sermons preached. It happened about that time, that one John Martin of Briqueras, a mile from Angrongne, which vaunted every where,1 that he would slit the ministers nose of Angrogne, was assaulted by a Wolfe, which bit of his nose, so that he died thereof mad. This was commonly known to all the towns thereabout.
