So was it laid against one Singleton Chaplain some time to Queen Anne Bullen,1 that he was the murderer of Packington, and afterward, that he was a stirrer up of sedition & commotion: who also suffered as a traitor for the same: Where in very deed the true cause was for nothing else, but for preaching the Gospel unto the people, whose purpose was ever so far of from stirring sedition, that he never once dreamed of any such matter, as he himself declared and protested to one R. Lante his scholar, who is yet alive and can testify the truth hereof. But this is no new practise amongest the Romish Bishops: whereof enough hath been said before in the story of Sir Joh. Oldcastle, and Sir Roger Acton. &c.
