We received, too late, a certain chronicle of England,
by Egmont Howes, a nobleman in London,
printed A. D. 1615, by Thomas Dauwson, in which,
on page 678, the following is related, as having occurred
under Queen Elizabeth, A. D. 1575:

On Easter-day, being the 3d of April, about nine
o’clock in the forenoon, there was discovered a
gathering of Dutch Anabaptists, Hollanders, in a
house beyond the Aldgate; seventeen of whom were
apprehended, and four cast into prison.

On the 21st of May, on Whitsuntide eve, one
man and ten women, Dutch Anabaptists, were condemned,
in the Consistory of St. Paul’s church, to
be burnt in a place called Smithfield; however, after
much labor and pains with them, only one woman
turned, and the rest were banished from the country.

On the 22d of July two Dutch Anabaptists were
burned in the place called Smithfield, who died in
great terror, weeping and crying. So far the aforementioned
author.

We have deemed it well to add this here, since it
serves to confirm the foregoing; as also, to testify
that they did not suffer for any reviling against Her
Majesty (as circulated by some), but only for their
faith. And this is the more authentic, because it was
recorded by the hand of their adversaries.
