Another Appearance of Mr. BLAND in the Spiritual Court.
THEN we came to the castle of Canterbury, and there we remained till the second day of March, on which day we were brought into the chapter-house of Cree-church, where were sitting the suffragan of Canterbury, Mr. Collins, Mr. Mills, with others, and then went to them Mr. Oxenden, Mr. Petit, Mr. Webb, and Mr. […], justices. And when I was called, Mr. Webb said, Here we present this man unto you, as one vehemently suspected of heresy.
