Upon which Sermon or Lecture, there came a Commission from the King to the Lord Deputy, M. Grendfield,1 sir John Butler Commissary, the Kings Mason, and Smith, with others, that they should search whether there were (as was put in writing, and under Bull and Pardon) three hosts lying upon a Marble stone, besprinkled with blood, and if they found it not so, that immediately it should be plucked down, and so it was. For in searching thereof, as they brake up a stone in a corner of the Tomb, they in stead of the three hosts, found soldered in the Cross of Marble lying under the Sepulchre,2 three plain white counters which they had painted like unto hosts, and a bone that is in the tip of a sheep's tail. All which trumpery Damlip showed unto the people the next day following, which was Sunday, out of the Pulpit, and after that they were sent by the Lord Deputy to the King.3
