At Antwerp. An. 1254. | The Curate of Melza by Antwerp, had used to preach to a great number of people without the town. The Emperor hearing thereof, gave leave to take the uppermost garment of all them that came to hear, and offered 30. guilders who so would take the Priest. Afterward, when the people were gathered, and the Curate not there, this Nicholas stepped up in place and preached. Wherefore he being apprehended by these two servants of a Butcher, was put in a sack and drowned by the Crane at Antwerp. 1524. Margaret daughter of Maximilian, 2Princes of Holland. M. Montane M. Rosemund. M. Anchusanus Inquisitors. M. Jodocus Loveryng, Vicar of Mechlin. | Joan. Pistorius, a learned man of Holland, and partly of kin to Erasm Roterod. An. 1524. | The story of Pistorius, is largely set forth by Gnapheus. First he was a Priest, then he married: after that he preached, coming from Wittenberg. He spake against the Mass and pardons, and against the subtle abuses of Priests. He was committed unto prison with 10. malefactors, whom he did comfort, & to one being half naked and in danger of cold, he gave his gown. His father visiting him in prison, did not dissuade him, but bad him be constant. At last he was condemned, and degraded, having a fools coat put upon him.
