¶William Leiton and Puttedew Martyrs.
About the same time & year, or not much before,1 when John Lambert suffered at London, there was one Puttedew also condemned to the fire, about the parts of Suffolk, who coming into the Church, and merrily telling the Priest, that after he had drunk up all the wine alone, he afterward blessed the hungry people with the empty Chalice, was for the same immediately apprehended, and shortly after burned, leaving to us an experiment.2 Quàm parum sit tutum ludere cum sanctis, as the old saying was then: but rather as we may see now. Quàm male tutum sit ludere cum impijs.
