All which notwithstanding,1 the uncharitable Archbishop seeking all advantage against him that he might, & more then right law would ge•e, brought in against him such witnesses, as before were abjured, whom he knew for fear of relapse, durst do none other but disclose whatsoever they knew, to wit, Christopher Grebyll, William Rich Agnes Ive, John Grebill, Robert Hills,2 & Stephen Castelyn. Whose depositions being taken, and the said Carder being asked what he could lay for himself, he had nothing, he said, to produce against their attestations, but submitted him unto their mercy, saying moreover, that if he had ever any misbelief of the sacrament of the Church, contrary to the common holding of the Catholics, he now was sorry, & repented him thereof. Which being done, the archb. this his submission notwithstanding, & notwithstanding that the Register maketh no mention of any relapse, contrary to good law, at least contrary to all Christen charity proceeded to the reading of his blind sentence, and so condemned him: who neither stood stubbornly to that which he did hold, neither yet did hold any thing contrary to the mind of holy scripture, to the execution of burning.
