And thus we have, as in a gross sum, compiled together the names and causes, though not of all, yet of a great, and to great a number of good men & good women, which in those sorrowful days (from the year of our Lord 1527. to this present year 1533. that is, till the coming in of Queen Anne) were manifold ways vexed and persecuted under the tyranny of the Bishop of Rome.1 Where again we have to note, that from this present year of our Lord 1533. during the time of the said Queen Anne, we read of no great persecution, nor any abjuration to have been in the Church of England, save only that the Registers of London make mention of certain Dutchmen, counted for Anabaptists, of whom 10. were put to death in sundry places of the realm. an 1535. other 10. repented and were saved. Where note again that 2. also of the said company, albeit the definitive sentence was read, yet notwithstanding were pardoned by the king, which was contrary to the Popes law.
