¶As touching the burning of Joh. Scrivener, here is to be noted,1 that his children were compelled to set fire unto their father, in like manner as Joan Clerk also daughter of William Tilseworth, was constrained to give fire to the burning of her own natural father, as is above specified, pag. 774. The example of which cruelty, as it is contrary both to God and nature, so hath it not been seen nor heard of in the memory of the heathen.
