Another cause of Testwoods trouble.
IN the days of M. Franklen, who succeeded D. Sampson in the Deanery of Windsor,1 there was on a time set up at the Quire door, a certain foolish printed paper in Meter, all to the praise and commendation of our Lady, ascribing unto her our justification, our salvation,2 our redemption, the forgiveness of sins, &c. to the great derogation of Christ. Which paper, one of the Canons called M. Magnus (as it was reported) caused to be set up in despite of Testwood and his sect. When Testwood saw this paper, he plucked it down secretly. The next day after was another set up in the same place. Then Testwood coming into the Church, and seeing another paper set up, and also the Dean coming a little way of, made haste to be in at the Quire door, while the Dean staid to take holy water, and reaching up his hand as he went, plucked away that paper with him. The Dean being come to his stall,3 called Testwood unto him, and said, that he marvelled greatly how he durst be so bold to take down the paper in his presence? Testwood answered again, that he marvelled much more, that his mastership would suffer such a blasphemous paper to be set up, beseeching him not to be offended with that he had done, for he would stand unto it. So M. Dean being a timorous man, made no more ado with him. After this were no more papers set up, but poor Testwood was eaten and drunken among them at every meal, and an heretic he was, and would roast a fagot for this gear one day.
