❧A Table describing the grievous afflictions of good men and women, in the Diocese of Lincoln, under John Longland there Bishop, with the names both of the Accusers, and of them that were accused: also with the crimes to them objected: out of the Registers of the said Diocese. Anno 1521. 1Accusers. | Parties accused. | Crimes objected. W. Chedwel sick in his bed. Robert Andrew. Rob. Bennet. John Hill. Edmund Dormer. John Milsent. Thomas Bernard. Tho. Litlepage. John Dosset. Margaret Bartlet. Isabel Bertlet: these being before abjured, were now compelled by oath to detect | Rob. Bartlet. Rich. Bartlet his brother. | This Robert Bartlet, and Rich. his brother were Detected by these foresaid accusers, to be known men, that is, to be of the same company and affinity with these Jurates, and other that had ben abjured before in the time of William Smith, Bishop of Lincoln, about the year of our lord 1508. and that in the house of Thomas Harding, they were so noted by the words of Hardinges wife: who speaking to Robert Bartlet, said, that she was glad that he was converted to grace, and chosen to almighty God, requiring him never to forsake that he was called to, for if he did, there was no Sacrifice left for him. Also the said Hardinges wife speaking to Richard Bartlet coming into her House, said, Here cometh a good man, and I hope he will be a good man, but he hath so much mind of buying and selling, and taking of farms, that it putteth his mind from all goodness. By which words it appeared, said they, that he was a Known man. Item, that Robert Bartlet speaking to Hardings wife, said, he had thought to have called William Tilseworth false heretic: but now he was better advised. Item, that they used the lectures and readings of that company. ¶This Ro. Bartlet, & Richard his brother first being sworn, and yet confessing nothing before the Bishop, at last were convicted by witness, (as above appeareth) and noted therefore of perjury. Wherefore incurring into greater danger, they were constrained at their next examination to utter them selves, and confess what they had both done and said: that is,2 that the said Robert had red unto Richard his brother, a parcel of scripture beginning thus: James the servant of God, to the xij. kinds. &c.
