The History of JOHN FRANKESH, HUMPHREY MIDDLETON, and NICHOLAS SHETERDEN.
HAVING now passed over the examination of Mr. Bland, let us further proceed to the rest of his fellow prisoners, being joined the same time with him in the like cause and like affliction. The names of whom were, John Frankesh, Nicholas Sheterden, Humphrey Middleton, Thacker, and Cocker, of whom Thacker only gave back. The rest constantly standing to the truth, were altogether condemned by the suffragan of Canterbury, the 25th day of June the year above expressed. Whose examinations I need not long dwell upon, forasmuch as the articles ministered against them were all one, so in their answers they little or nothing disagreed, as you shall hear hereafter. In the mean time, because Nicholas Sheterden in his examinations had a little more talk with the archdeacon and the commissary, I will first begin with him.
