The original account

NOTICE.—THE BELIEF OF WILLIAM SWINDERBY COMPARED WITH THAT OF WALTER BRUTE.

Original wording, with book contents, page navigation, and linked notes. Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

Since Walter Brute is called (Fol. 505, col. 4,) a defender of the articles of William Swinderby, who was afterwards burnt for the faith, in Smithfield, London, it is quite evident, that William Swinderby must have held the same belief, which, as well as many other articles, they both had in common with the Waldenses. Besides, this article of non-swearing, together with the other two related in this connection, is unmistakably called William Swinderby’s article (Fol. 506, col. 3), so that both of them, speaking as with one tongue, are also together charged here, with having prohibited all manner of oaths.
