The Writ or Mandate of Bishop BONNER, set up at Charing-Cross, St. Paul's Church Door, and at St. Martin's in the Field's, for the citing and further inquiring into the Case of JOHN TOOLY.
EDMUND, by the sufferance of God, bishop of London, to all and singular p•rsons, vicars, curates, and others, clerks and learned men, being within our diocese of London, and especially unto Richard Clony, our sworn sumner, greeting, salutation, and benediction. Forasmuch as it is come to our hearing by common same, and the declaration of several credible persons, that one John Tooly, late citizen and poulterer of London, the son of perdition and iniquity, coming to the profundity of malice at the self same time which he should go to hanging, according to the laws of the realm, for the great theft lately by him committed, at which time chiefly he should have cared for the wealth of his soul, and to have died in the unity of the catholic church, did utter divers and sundry damnable, blasphemous, and heretical opinions and errors, utterly contrary and repugnant to the verity of the catholic faith, and unity of the fame, and did exhort, stir up, and encourage the people, there standing in great multitude, to hold and defend the same errors and opinions: and moreover, certain of the people there standing, as it did appear, affected with errors and heresies, as favourers and defenders of the said Tooly, did confirm and give express consent to the aforesaid words, propositions, and affirmations: which thing we do utter with sorrow and bitterness of heart.
