When the light of the Gospel began to break forth
with power also in England, so that some persons
not only believed and adhered to, but also taught
and propagated the truth of Christ, the Romanists,
proving themselves children of darkness, evinced
their old nature towards these people, inasmuch as
they informed the King of England, then only a
child of six years, of this matter, aiming to provide
against it.

Thus it happened A. D. 1428, that this child-king,
induced by the fathers and heads of the
Roman church, immediately resolved to give orders
to the officers appointed thereto, to apprehend these
persons and all who were of their persuasion, in order
that they might be punished according to the
laws of England.
