| For speaking against Pilgrimages, in the company of John and Elizabeth Gardiner, as he was going to our Lady of Lincoln for his penance enjoined by Bishop Smith. Also the same time, as he met certain coming from Saint John Shorne, for saying they were fools, and calling it Idolatry. Also in the same voyage, when he saw a certain chapel in decay and ruin, he said: lo, yonder is a fair milkhouse down. Item, when he came to Lincoln, he made water in the Chapel at mass time, excusing afterward that he did it of necessity. Item, the same time speaking against the Sacrament of the altar, he said, that Christ sitteth in heaven at the right hand of the father almighty, and brought forth this parable, saying, that Christ our Lord said these words, when he went from his disciples, and ascended to heaven: That once he was in sinners hands, & would come there no more. Also when he came to Wycombe there to do his penance, he bound his fagot with a silken lace. Also, being demanded of D. London, whether he had done his penance in coming to our Lady of Lincoln, he answered, that Bishop Smith had released him, to come to our Lady of Messenden for six years.
