The king, not willing to release or to punish them
unheard, convened, on this account, a council at
Oxford; where the most learned of the prisoners,
namely, Gerard, being solemnly interrogated concerning
their religion, answered in the name of all,
saying: “That they were Christians, and regarded
the doctrine of the apostles.” And when they were
properly questioned respecting all the articles of the
faith, they answered well with regard to the nature
of the supreme Physician; but as regards the means
with which he has been pleased to heal our weakness,
that is, respecting the divine sacraments,
“they,” says the papistic writer, “judged perversely.
For they aspersed baptism (he means infant
baptism, for this was the baptism then held in
esteem by the Roman church) and also the thank-offering
(the mass).”
