¶Crosman's wife.
¶Crosmans wyfe.
One Crosman's wife of Tibnam Long Row in Norfolk,1 in Queen Mary's time for not going to church was sought for at her house by one Barbour of the said town, then Constable of the hundred: who when he came to her house, she being at home with a child sucking in her arms, stepped into a corner on the one side of the chimney, and they seeking the chambers, the child never cried, (although before they came it did) as long as they were there, & so by this means the Lord preserved her.
