*John Tewkesbury Leatherseller of London Martyr.
*Iohn Teukesbery Leatherseller of London Martyr.
John Tewkesbury was converted by the reading of Tindals Testament, and the wicked Mammon. He had the Bible written.1 In all points of religion he openly did dispute in the Bishops Chapel in his palace. Who in the doctrine of justification and all other articles of his faith was very expert, and prompt in his answers, in such sort as Tonstall and all his learned men were ashamed, that a Leatherseller should so dispute with them, with such power of the Scriptures and heavenly wisdom, that they were not able to resist him. This disputation continued a sevennight. The process of whose examinations, Articles and answers, here follow as they are out of the bishops Register extracted.
