Again, when Elizabeth came from the rood of rest said Isabel, that if she knew so much as she hath heard, she would go no more on pilgrimage while she lived: for all Saints, said she, be in heaven. Then asked Elizabeth wherefore pilgrimage was ordained of Doctors and Priests. Said the other, for gain & profit. Who hath taught you this quoth Elizabeth? man or woman? Your Curate, I dare say, never learned you so. My Curate said she, will never know so much: and moreover said to Elizabeth her sister, that if she would keep counsel, & not tell her husband, she would say more. And when Elizabeth answered, that she would not tell: but saith the other, I will have you to swear: and because she would not swear, the other would not proceed any further. Alice Browne. forced by her oath too detect. | John Tracher of Chessham. | The cause why this John Tracher was denounced, was this, for that he taught her in the Gospel this saying of Jesus: Blessed be they that hear the word of GOD and keep it.
