The Martyrdom of Mr. JOHN CARDMAKER, and Mr. JOHN WARN, who suffered both together in Smithfield, May 30, 1555.
The Martyrdom of Mr. JOHN CARDMAKER, and Mr. JOHN WARNE, who suffered both together in Smithfield, May 30, 1555.
UPON the 30th day of May, John Cardmaker, otherwise called Taylor, prebendary of the church of Wells; and John Warn, upholsterer, of the parish of St. John in Walbrook, suffered together in Smithfield. Of whom it remaineth now particularly to treat, beginning with Mr. Cardmaker, who first was an observant friar before the dissolution of the abbeys: afterwards was a married minister, and in king Edward's time appointed to be a reader in St. Paul's, where the papists were so enraged against him for his doctrine's sake, that in his reading they cut and mangled his gown with their knives. Mr. Cardmaker being apprehended in the beginning of queen Mary's reign, with Mr. Barlow, bishop of Bath, was brought to London, and put in the Fleet prison, king Edward's laws being yet in force. But after the parliament was ended, in which the pope was again admitted as supreme head of the church, and the bishops had also gotten power and authority, officially, to exercise their tyranny, these two were brought before the bishop of Winchester, lord chancellor, and others appointed by commission, (as before is mentioned) to examine the faith of such as were then prisoners; and as unto others before, so now unto them the chancellor offered the queen's mercy, if they would agree, and be conformable, &c.
