An Account of CORNELIUS BUNGEY, Fellow-Martyr with Mr. ROBERT GLOVER.
IN the same fire with Mr. Glover, Cornelius Bungey, of Coventry, was likewise burnt, who was condemned by the said bishop of Coventry and Litchfield. As concerning the articles which were objected to him, the effect thereof was this.
FIRST, It was objected against him, that these three years last, in the city of Coventry and Litchfield, and places thereabout, he did hold, maintain, argue, and teach, that the priest hath no power here to absolve any sinner from his sins.
SECONDLY, That by baptism sins are not washed away, because he said that the washing of the flesh purgeth the flesh outwardly, and not the soul.
THIRDLY, That there be in the church only two sacraments, that is, baptism and the Lord's supper.
