To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About this time, Thomas Phillips was apprehended, and sent to the Tower, upon suspicion of heresy. In searching him, a copy of Tracy's will was found in his possession, also some butter and cheese was discovered in his chamber, although it was Lent ; and such food was at that season forbidden by the church of Rome ! A letter was also found which had been given to him when on his way to the Tower, containing exhortations to continue stedfast in the truth, and advising him not to reply to any acc...usations, unless the accusers were brought forward. Bishop Stokesly considered these things sufficient proofs of heresy, and required him to abjure. Phillips followed the advice given in the letter, and refused to relate any particulars, so as to supply them with evidence against himself, but offered to swear to be obedient as a Christian man, and to declare that he would not hold any heresies, or favour heretics. The bishop refused to accept of such a general declara- tion, and Phillips appealed to the king, as supreme head of the church.
