The recantation of certain Calais men.
The recantation of certayne Calyce men.
Now to declare what order was taken with these foresaid Calycemen, it was appointed that sir W. Smith, Rafe Hare, James Cock, and James Barber,1 should be sent to Calais, there to abjure and to do penance. Where sir W. Smith was enjoined to make the Sermon, Rafe Hare, James Cock, and James Barber standing with fagots upon their shoulders. The Sermon was made in the market of Calais. Which being done, they went with their fagots about the market place, the Drum and Fife going before them, and then returning to the Commissioners with testimonial of the same, they departed. Albeit in this recantation, the said W. Smith Curate of our Ladies Church handled his Sermon after that sort, as in effect he denied nothing at all that he had before preached or taught, but yet it satisfied somewhat his adversaries malicious harts, in that it bare the name of a recantation, according to the Commissioners order, appointing him thus openly to preach, and so to depart the town and marches.
