*The burning of Cowbridge at Oxford. anno. 1538.
*The burnyng of Cowbridge at Oxford. anno. 1538.
With this foresaid Collins, may also be adjoined the burning of Cowbridge, who likewise being mad,1 & beside his right senses, was either the same, or the next year following, condemned by Longland, Bishop of Lincoln, and committed to the fire by him to be burnt at Oxford. What his opinions and Articles were, wherewith he was charged, it needeth not here to rehearse. For as he was then a man mad, and destitute of sense and reason, so his words and sayings could not be sound. Yea rather, what wise man would ever collect Articles against him, which said, he could not tell what?2 And if his Articles were so horrible and mad, as Cope in his Dialogues doth declare them, then was he in my judgement, a man more fit to be sent to Bethlehem, then to be had to the fire in Smithfield to be burned. For what reason is it to require reason of a creature mad or unreasonable, or to make heresy of the words of a senseless man, not knowing what he affirmed.
WIth this foresayd Collins, may also be adioyned the burnyng of Cowbridge, who likewise beyng mad,1 & beside his right senses, was either the same, or the next yeare folowyng, condēned by Longland, Byshop of Lyncolne, and committed to the fire by him to be burnt at Oxford. What his opinions and Articles were, wherewith he was charged, it needeth not here to rehearse. For as he was then a man mad, and destitute of sense and reason, so his wordes and sayinges could not be sound. Yea rather, what wise man would euer collect Articles agaynst him, whiche sayd, he could not tell what?
