The second trouble of William Stevens.
The second trouble of William Steuens.
The foresaid William Stevens after his return from London above mentioned, besides many other Articles laid to him for religion, to the number of 40. or well-nigh, was by the Lord Deputy charged that he had stayed the foresaid Adam Damlip, hired him to preach, and gave him meat, drink and lodging, coming from the arrant traitor Cardinal Poole,1 and suborned by him: and that he had received money of him, to the intent he should preach in Calais false & erroneous doctrine, whereby the town being divided & at contention within it self, might easily be overcome & won by the Frenchmen. Whereunto the said Stevens answered, that whatsoever he had done unto the said Adam Damlip, he had done it at the earnest request & commandment of the said Lord Deputy. Whereupon, if it had been treason in deed, he must have been more faulty.
