¶Persecution in Kent.
IN revolving the Registers of William Warrham, Archbishop of Canterbury, I find moreover besides these above comprehended,1 in the time and reign of king Henry, the names of divers other, whereof some suffered Martyrdom for the like testimony of Gods word, and some recanted, which albeit here do come a little out of order, and should have been placed before in the beginning of King Henrys reign: yet rather then they should utterly be omitted, I thought here to give them a place, though somewhat out of time, yet not altogether I trust without fruit unto the Reader, being no less worthy to be Registered and preserved from oblivion, then other of their fellows before them.
