¶Lady Knevet in Norfolk.
¶Lady Kneuet in Northfolke.
Among the number of the godly that were kept under the providence of the Lord in those perilous days,1 I may not forget an ancient good Lady of much worship, called Lady Anne Knevet, who till her death dwelt in Norfolk, in a town named Wimon•ham vj. miles from Norwich. Which said good Lady in Queen Mary's days being judged by the common people, more then an hundred year of age, and by her own estimation well towards a C. kept her self from their popish church, or having any papistical trash ministered in her house, but only the service that was used in the latter days of K. Edward the 6. which daily she had said before her, either by one M. Tollin who was then by Gods providence preserved in her house, or else by one of her Gentlewomen or household servant that could serve the place in the said M. Tollin's absence.
