A LETTER From the Queen's Council to BONNER, Bishop of London, concerning the Examination of JOHN ROUGH, Minister.
A LETTER From the Queen's Council to BONNER, Bishop of London, cancerning the Examination of JOHN ROUGH, Minister.
AFTER our hearty commendations to your good lordship, we send you here enclosed the examination of a Scottish man, named John Rough, who, by the queen's command, is just sent to Newgate, being of the chief of them that upon Sunday last, under the colour of coming to see a play at the Saracen's Head, at Islington, had prepared a communion to be celebrated and received there among other certain seditious and heretical persons. And forasmuch as by the said Rough's examination, containing the story and progress of his former life, ⟨p. 506⟩it well appeareth of what sort he is; the queen's highness hath willed us to remit him unto your lordship, to the end that being called before you out of prison, as oft as your lordship shall think good, you may proceed, both to his further examination, and otherwise ordering of him according to the laws, as the case shall require. And thus we bid your lordship heartily well to fare. From St. James's, December 15, 1557. Your lordship's loving friends, Nicholas Ebor, F. Shrewsbury, Edward Hastings, Anthony Mountague, John Bourne, Henry Jernegam.
