Morden spake against Images, and spake these words: our Lord Jesus Christ saith in his Gospel: Blessed be they that hear the word of God, & keepeth it, &c. Tredway also detected his mother for teaching him that he should not worship the images of saints.1 ¶Likewise Joan Bernard being accused by Robert Copland, was sworn by her oath to detect Thomas Bernard her own natural father, for speaking against pilgrimage, against worshipping of Saints, and against diriges and praying for the dead, and for warning his daughter not to utter any of all this to her Ghostly father.2 ¶The like oath also was forced to Richard Bernard that he should in like manner detect Thom. Bernard his own natural father, for teaching him not to worship images, nor to believe in the Sacrament of the altar, but in God only which is in heaven: and that he should not utter the same to the Priest. The vicar of Iver, and Richard Taylor witness, accused. | Richard Carder. | For defending the cause of Jenkin Butler, and for saying that the Bishop did him injury. Item, for saying that if he had known the Bishops man would have set him so to the Bishop, he would have given him warning thereof before. Item, for saying, that if he should call him, he would confess nothing although he burned him. Agnes Carder, wife of Richard Carder detected. | Richard Carder her husband. | For saying that he suspected that she was too much familiar with the Vicar of Iver. And when she answered again: how could he be evil with her, seeing he sayeth Mass every day, and doth not confess himself before: then her husband said, that he could confess himself to a post or to the alter. ¶Where note that the Bishop then examining her of that offence, whether she was culpable, and whether she was commonly in the voice of the people defamed with him or no: she confessed so to be. Whereupon no other penalty nor penance for that crime of adultery was enjoined her of the Bishop, but only this, that she should frequent the Vicars house no more. Joh. Clerk of Denham forced by his oath to detect. | Richard Vulford of Riselyp. John Butler. | For speaking against Images, Pilgrimages,3 oblations, and against the Sacrament of the alter.
