¶Maistresse Anne Lacie.
IN this number of good Gentlewomen being in trouble and danger for Gods word,1 is not to be omitted the memory of one mistress Anne Lacy widow in Nottingham shire, who was in great danger in Queen Mary's time in so much that the process was forth against her, and she ready to have been apprehended, being so nearly pursued, that she was driven to hide her Bible and other books in a dunghill. M. Lacy her brother was then Justice of peace: but to whom (as I have heard) she was but smally beholden. Nevertheless where kindred faileth, yet gods grace never faileth such as stick to him: for in this mean time, as the process came out against her, Queen Mary dyed, and so she escaped.
