TO these blessed saints before past, we will also adjoin Christopher Shoemaker: of whom this I find briefly in the Register of sir John Longland: and that the said Christopher Shoemaker,1 a parishioner of great Missendē came to the house of one John Say, and after other matters of talk, read to him out of a little book, the words which Christ spake to his disciples. And thus coming to his house about four times: at every time read something out of the same book unto him: teaching him not to be deceived in the priests celebration at Mass, and declaring that it was not the same very present body of Christ as the priests did fantasy: but in substance bread, bearing the remembrance of Christ. And taught him moreover, that the Pilgrimage, worshipping and setting up candles to saints were all unprofitable. And thus the said Joh. Say being taught by this Christopher, and also confirmed by John Okendē, and Robert pope, was brought to the knowledge of the same doctrine. Thus much briefly I find in that Register concerning Christopher Shoemaker, declaring further that he was burned at Newbury about this time, which was an. 1518. And thus much out of Registers of London.
