Richard, also called Eckhard, formerly a Dominican
monk, was condemned as a heretic, because he
fearlessly preached the Gospel, and reproved the
abuses of the papists. And in the kingdom of Bohemia
and Poland many were put to death for their
religion or faith. Chron., page 685, col. 2, extracted
from Hist. Adri., fol. 64, Herm. Mod. fol. 271,
Henr. Boxh. fol. 27.

Note.—John Aston, a well learned man of Oxford,
for teaching that the bread of the holy Supper
remained unchanged, was apprehended as a heretic,
A. D. 1330, by the archbishop of Canterbury, and
died in prison. See the authors referred to above in
connection with Eckhard.

Others add here, says Nicholas Vignier, that in
said year (A. D. 1330) a certain Jacobine monk,
Eckhard by name, whom others, though erroneously,
call Richard, was publicly burnt, because he
steadfastly maintained said opinions of the Waldenses.
Nich. Vign., Hist. Eccl., A. D. 1330. Also
in the second book of the Hist. of the Persecutions,
fol. 483.
