The story of a poor labouring man in Calais.
The story of a poore labouring man in Calyce.
BY the credible information & writing of the said Calais men, which were then in trouble,1 it is reported of a certain poor labouring man of Calais, who after the preaching of Adam Damlyp, being in certain company, said, that he would never believe, that a priest could make the Lords body at his pleasure. Whereupon he was then accused, and also condemned by one Harvey Commissary there. Which Harvey in time of his judgement inueying against him, with opprobrious words, said, that he was an heretic, & should die a vile death. The poor man (whose name yet I have not certainly learned) answering for himself again, said, that he was no heretic, but was in the faith of Christ.2 And where as thou sayest (said he) that I shall dye a vile death, thou thy self shalt dye a viler death, and that shortly, and so it came to pass: for within half a year after, the said Harvey was hanged, drawn, and quartered for treason in the said town of Calais.
