The life and storie of W. Hierome Vicare of Stepney and Martyr of Christ.
The third companion which suffered with Barnes and Garret, was W. Hierome Vicar of Stepney. This Hierome being a diligent preacher of Gods word,1 for the comfort and edification of the people, had preached divers and sundry sermons, wherein to the intent to plant in the consciences of men, the sincere truth of christen religion, he laboured as much as time then served, to extirp & weed out the roots of mens traditions, doctrines, dreams, and fantasies. In so doing it could not otherwise be, but he must needs provoke much hatred against him amongest the adversaries of Christs gospel.
