To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Foxe incidently bears witness to the edifying manner in which thePortuguese assisted at Mass, the people standing "with great devotionand silence, praying, looking, kneeling, and knocking [beating theirbreasts in token of compunction], their minds being fully bent and set, as it is the manner, upon the external sacrament. "* * Ibid. The story of Bertrand Le Blas, the silk-weaver of Dornick whosignalised himself in the same riotous manner in 1555, is said to haveended in the same way, Le Blas de...claring "that if it were a thousandtimes to be done he would do it; and if he had a thousand lives hewould give them all in that quarrel. "* * Acts and Monuments, vi. 393. But these are all ex pane statements of Foxe. He is thinking of nothingbut of pointing his own particular moral and of adorning his own tale. Historically, his evidence is valueless unless supported by morecareful witnesses. He professes to chronicle the martyrdom at Newent, on the 25th September 1556, of "John Horne and a woman"; but Deighton, a friendly critic, pointed out that this story was nothing more or lessthan an amplification of the burning of Edward Horne, which Foxe hadalready recorded as having taken place on the 25th September 1558, andthat no woman suffered at either of these times.
