By this it maie appeare, how greatlie he was beloued, that there could not one be found, that for so great a re|ward would bring him to light. Among other that were taken was one William Murlie,William Murlie. who dwelt in Dunstable, a man of great wealth, and by his occu|pation a brewer, an earnest mainteiner of the lord Cobhams opinions, and (as the brute ran) in hope to be highlie aduanced by him if their purposed deuise had taken place, apparant by this; that he had two horsses trapped with guilt harnesse led after him, and in his bosome a paire of gilt spurs (as it was déemed) prepared for himselfe to weare, looking to be made knight by the lord Cobhams hands at that present time. But when he saw how their purpose quailed, he withdrew into the citie with great feare to hide him|selfe; howbeit he was perceiued, taken, and finallie executed among others.

O|thers write, that it was both for treason and heresie, and so it appeareth by the record. Certeine affirme, that it was for feined causes surmized by the spiritu|altie, more vpon displeasure than truth, and that they were assembled to heare their preacher (the foresaid Beuerlie) in that place there, out of the waie from re|sort of people, sith they might not come togither open|lie about any such matter, without danger to be ap|prehended; as the manner is, and hath beene euer of the persecuted flocke, when they are prohibited pu|blikelie the exercise of their religion. But howsoeuer the matter went with these men, apprehended they were, and diuerse of them executed (as before ye haue heard) whether for rebellion or heresie, or for both (as the forme of the indictment importeth) I néed not to spend manie words, sith others haue so largelie treated thereof; and therefore I refer those that wish to be more fullie satisfied herein vnto their reports.
