THIS Elizabeth Warn had been apprehended among others, the first day of January, in a house in Bow-church-yard in London, as they were gathered together in prayer, and at that present was carried to the Compter, where she remained till the 11th day of June: at which time she was brought to Newgate, and was confined there till the 2d day of July. Then was she sent by the king and queen's commissioners unto Bonner, bishop of London, who on the 6th day of the said month caused her with divers others (as Robert Smith, George Tankerfield, &c.) to be brought before him into his palace, and there examined her upon sundry articles, such as were commonly administered unto poor saints and martyrs of God, as you may more plainly perceive by other more large and ample processes before-mentioned.
