IT was alleged against William Couper and Alice Couper his wife, that they had spoken against Pilgrimages,1 & worshipping of Images: but chiefly the woman, who having her child on a time hurt by falling into a pit or ditch, and earnestly persuaded by some of her ignorant neighbours, to go on Pilgrimage to S. Laurence for help for her child, said that neither S. Laurence,2 nor any other S. could help her child, & therefore none ought to go on Pilgrimage to any Image made with mans hand, but oneto unto almighty God: for Pilgrimages were nothing worth, saving to make the Priests rich. Vid. plura inferius.
