CHAP. V. The Examinations, Condemnation, and Martyrdom, of Dr. ROBERT FARRAR, Bishop of St. DAVID'S, in WALES; who gave his Life for the Truth, and was burned in the Marketplace of the Town of CAERMARTHEN, March 30th, 1555.
THIS worthy and learned prelate having in the former reign, as well as since the accession of Mary, been remarkably zealous in promoting the reformed doctrines, and exploding the errors of popish idolatry; was summoned, among others, before the popish and persecuting bishop of Winchester, (who was then likewise lord chancellor) and other commissioners set apart for the abominable work of devastation and massacre.
HIS principal accusers and persecutors were, George Constantine Walter, his servant; Thomas Young, chanter of the cathedral, afterwards archbishop of York; Dr. Rowland Merrick, afterwards bishop of Bangor; Thomas Lee, and Hugh Rawlins, &c. at whose instance, Hugh Rawlins, a priest, and Thomas Lee, brother-in-law to the said George Constantine, did exhibit to the king's most honourable council, the following articles and informations, which, with the bishop's answer to the same, we here think good to insert.
