For the which marriage, both the said Simon and Benore his wife were called to examination before the Bishop, and he caused to make the whole discourse of all his doings, how, & where he married. Then, after his marriage, how long he tarried, whether he went beyond Sea, where he was, and with whom. After his return, whether he resorted, how he lived, what mercery ware he occupied, what fairs he frequented, where he left his wife, how he carried her over, and brought her home again, and how she was found, &c. All this they made him confess, & put it in their register. And though they could fasten no other crime of heresy upon him, but only his marriage: yet calling both him and her being great with child to examination, they caused them both to abjure & suffer penance. Tho. Patmore Parson of Hadham. 1531. | This Thomas Patmore, being learned and godly, was preferred to the Parsonage of Hadham in Hertfordshire, by Richard Fitz James, Bishop of London, and there continued instructing and teaching his flock during the time of the said Fitz James, and also of Tunstall his successor, by the space of sixteen years or more, behaving himself in life and conversation without any public blame or reproach, until that John Stokesley was preferred unto the said Bishopric. Who,1 not very long after his installing, either for malice, not greatly liking of the said Patmore, or else desirous to prefer some other unto the benefice (as it is supposed and alleged by his brethren in sundry supplications exhibited unto the King, as also unto Queen Anne, then Marchioness of Pembroke) caused him to be attached and brought before him, and then keeping him prisoner in his own Palace a certain time, afterwards committed him to Lollards tower, where he kept him most extremely above two years, without fire or candle, or any other relief, but such as his friends sent him, not suffering any of them notwithstanding, to come unto him, no not in his sickness. Howbeit, sundry times in the mean while he called him judicially, either before himself, or else his vicar general Foxford, that great persecutor, charging him with these sundry Articles, viz. as first, whether he had been at Wittenberg, 2. and had seen or talked with Luther, 3. or with any english man abiding there, 4. who went with him, or attended upon him thither, 5.
For the which mariage, both the sayde Simon and Benore his wife were called to examination before the Byshop, and hee caused to make the whole discourse of all his doings, how, & where he maried. Then, after his mariage, how long he taried, whether he wente beyond Sea, where he was, and wyth whome. After his returne, whether he resorted, how he liued, what mercery ware he occupied, what fayres he frequented, where he left his wyfe, how he caried her ouer, and brought her home agayne, and how she was founde, &c. All this they made him confesse, & put it in their register. And though they coulde fasten no other crime of heresie vpon him, but onely his mariage: yet calling both him and her being greate with child to examination, they caused them both to abiure & suffer penaunce.
