There was one M. Malary, master of Art of Cambridge, scholar of Christs College, who for the like opinions to those above rehearsed, holden contrary to the catholic determination of holy mother church of Rome, that is, for the right truth of Christs Gospel, was convented before the Bishops, and in the end, sent to Oxford, there openly to recant,1 and to bear his fagot, to the terror of the Students of that University. The time and place was appointed, that he should be brought solemnly into S. Mary's church upon a Sunday: where a great number of the head Doctors and Divines, and other of the University, were together assembled: beside a great multitude of Citizens and town dwellers which came to behold the sight. Furthermore,2 because that solemnity should not pass with out some effectual Sermon, for the holding up of the mother Church of Rome, D. Smith reader then of the Divinity lecture, was appointed, to make the Sermon at this recantation. Briefly at the preaching of this Sermon there was assembled a mighty audience of all sorts and degrees as well of Students as other. Few almost were absent, which loved to hear or see any news. In so much that there was no place almost in the whole Church which was not fully replenished with concourse and throng of people.
