| For keeping company, and receiving the doctrine of Alyce Colins. | John Nash, of little Missenden. Henry Etkyn, and his mother, of little Missenden. Richard Dell, of Missenden. Robert Colyns being sworn upon the Evangelists, did detect these persons. | Richard Colyns of Gynge. | First, for that this Richard Colyns did read unto the said Robert Colyns the ten Commandments:1 and after taught him the Epistles of James, and another small Epistle of Peter: and after that, took him the Gospel of Saint John in English, & bade him read therein himself. Also, for teaching him not to worship Images, nor to set up candles, nor to go on pilgrimage. Another crime against Richard Colyns: Because he taught this Robert, that in all such things wherein he offended God, he should only shrine himself to God: & in which things he offended man, he should shrine him to man. 2Also for teaching him that the Sacrament of the Altar is not very God, but a certain figurative thing of Christ in bread: and that the Priest hath no power to consecrate the body of Christ. Also, for that the said Richard did teach him in Wycliffe's Wicket: how that a man may not make the body of our Lord, which made us: and how can we then make him again? The father is unbegotten, and unmade: the Son is only begotten and not made: and how then can man make that which is unmade, said he. And in the same book of Wycliffe's Wicket, follow the words of Christ thus speaking: If my words be heresy, then am I an heretic: And if my words be leasings, then am I a liar, &c. Also, another crime against Richard Colyns: For having certain English Books, as Wickleffes Wicket, the Gospel of Saint John, the Epistles of Saint Paul, James, and Peter in English, an exposition of the Apocalypse, a book of our Ladies matins in english, a book of Solomon in english, a book called the prick of conscience. | John Edmunds, of Burford Taylor. | The crime against John Edmunds, for having a certain english book of the commandments. The foresaid Robert Colyns being sworn upon the Evangelists, did detect these persons. | John Harris. | The crime against John Harris: For communing with him of the first Chapter of Saint Johns Gospel:3 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and God, &c. Also for communing of a Chapter in Matthew of the viij. beatitudes.
