Upon the morrow, when they appeared and were brought forth to judgement in the town, was said in general to all their charge, the violating of the Act of Parliament before expressed, and their conference and assemblies in hearing and expounding of scripture against the tenor of the said Act. Robert Lamb was accused in special for interrupting of the Friar in the pulpit: which he not only confessed, but also affirmed constantly, that it was the duty of no man, which understood and knew the trueth, to hear the same impugned without contradiction, and therefore sundry which there were present in judgement, who hid the knowledge of the truth, should bear their burden in Gods presence for consenting to the same.
