Allen Cope in his worshipful Dialogues, making mention of these three aforesaid, Powell, Fetherstone,1 and Abel, amongest other which dyed in king Henrys days in the like Popish quarrel, that is, for the like treason against their Prince (being in all to the number of 24.) extolleth them not only in words, but with miracles also, up to the height of heaven, among the crowned Martyrs,2 & Saints of God. To the which Cope, because in this hast of story, I have no leisure at this present to give attendance, I shall wait attendance (the Lord willing) an other time, to join in this issue with him more at leisure. In the mean time, it shall suffice at this present, to recite the names only of those 24. rebels, whom he of his Popish devotion so dignifieth with the pretensed title of Martyrs. The names of which Monkish rebels be these here following.
