JOHN WARN being examined upon the aforesaid articles by the bishop before certain witnesses, whose names were John Roswell, John Heywood, and Robert Ravens, the 23d of May, did answer for the same, confessing and granting the articles and contents thereof to be true, according as they were objected in every part, subscribing also the same with his hand. Such strength and fortitude God's Holy Spirit wrought in him, to stand stoutly and confidently to the defence of the sincere doctrine of his Son.
JOHN WARNE being examined upon the aforesaid articles by the bishop before certain witnesses, whose names were John Roswell, John Heywood, and Robert Ravens, the 23d of May, did answer for the same, confessing and granting the articles and contents thereof to be true, according as they were objected in every part, subscribing also the same with his hand. Such strength and fortitude God's Holy Spirit wrought in him, to stand stoutly and confidently to the defence of the sincere doctrine of his Son.
WHEREUPON the bishop exhorting him with many words to leave his heresies, (as he called them) and to return to the bosom of his mother the holy church, commanded him to appear again the next day, being the 24th of May.
WHO so doing (and answering as he did before) was ordered to come thither again in the afternoon, and so he did: at which time he was earnestly exhorted by the said bishop to recant his opinions. To whom he answered, that he would not depart from his received profession, unless he were thereunto thoroughly persuaded by the holy scriptures.
