In the same month of August, and the same year, I find moreover in some records, beside the xxiiij. Chapter-house monks above recited, whom Cope doth sanctify for holy martyrs, for suffering in the Popes devotion, against the kings supremacy, other six which were also brought to Tyburn and there executed in the like case of rebellion. Of whom, the first was the Prior of Doncaster, the second a monk of the Charterhouse of London, called Giles Horne, some call him William Horne:1 the third one Tho. Epsam a Monk of Westminster, who had his Monks garment plucked from his back, being the last monk in K. Henrys days that did wear that monkish weed: the fourth one Philpot: the fifth one Carewe: the sixth was a Fryer. See what a difficulty it is to pluck up blind superstition once rooted in mans hart by a little custom.
