This parson Tailor being informed by his brother Sertan, that Edmund Allen the Milner & his wife, were returned, and were not at mass time in the church: as he was the same time in the midst of his mass, upon a Sunday, a little before the elevation (as they term it) even almost at the lifting up of his Romish God, he turned him to the people in a great rage, and commanded them with all speed,1 to go unto their house, and apprehend them, and he would come to them with as much hast as might be possible. Which promise he well performed. For he had not so soon made an end of Ite missa est, and the vestments of his back, but by and by he was at the house, and there laying hand of the said Alen, caused him again to be brought to sir Ih. Baker, with a grievous complaint of his exhorting & reading the scriptures to the people, and so was he & his wife sent to Maidstone prison. Witnessed by Richard Fletcher Vicar of Crambroke, and John Web of Fritenden.
