The ridiculous proceeding of Bishop BONNER, against JOHN TOOLY, whose Body being taken out of his Grave, was given to the secular Power, and so burned for an Heretic.
ABOUT the same time of the burning of John Simson and John Ardeley, in the beginning of the month of June, fell out a solemn process, and much ado was made about the pope's spirituality, against John Tooly in a case of heresy. The story is this: There was about the time that the Spaniards began first to make a stir in England, one John Tooly, a citizen and poulterer in London, who conspired with others of this society, to rob a Spaniard at St. James's: and although the deed was heinous and wicked of itself, yet was it aggravated and made greater than it was by others, being committed against such a person, and against such a country, which both the queen and her whole court did highly favour. The robbery being known, and brought into judgment, Tooly was found guilty, and adjudged to be hanged, whereas notwithstanding in this realm there are many more thefts committed than thieves executed.
