<P>_VPon Friday, be|ing the eight and twentie day of <HI>Iuly,</HI> there was brought to the Se&s;&s;ions hou&s;e, to be a|raigned before the Queenes Maie&s;ties Iu&s;tices, one <HI>Euerald Ducket, <HI>alias</HI> Hauns,</HI> Engli&s;hman, beeing a Pree&s;t, and not long &s;ince, come from beyond the Seas. This wicked fellow, con|trary bothe to the feare of God, and dutie, which he &s;hould by right beare, to our mo&s;te grati|ous Queene <HI>Elizabeth:</HI> erred from the true &amp; perfect doctrine of the word of God, and liued in
<PB REF="5">ob&s;cure and Sathanicall deter|mination of life, as his owne prote&s;tations hath &s;ufficientlye made apparant, and the ob&s;ti|nate liues of the re&s;t of like &s;ect, giueth daily example. He hauing receiued the orders of Pree&s;t|hood at <HI>Rheimes</HI> in <HI>Fraunce,</HI> a place, where (the more is the pit|tie) diuers and many younge youthes of England, are &s;ome|what fed vpon the <HI>Popes</HI> penti|on, who maintaineth there a Seminarie, to allure and enti&s;e the hartes of &s;undry her Maie|&s;ties obedient Subiects Chil|dren, to come vnto that place, where in &s;teede of learning, they are in&s;tructed to di&s;honor God, to di&s;obey their Prince, and to &s;ell their &s;oules wilfully, into the dete&s;table &s;lauery, of that bla&s;|phemous Antechri&s;tian Pre|late
<PB REF="5">From this afore&s;ayd place came this ob&s;tinate fellow, and beeing brought before the Iu&s;ti|ces to his aun&s;wer, of certaine ab&s;urd and diueli&s;h Articles by him&s;elfe mainetayned, which are the&s;e en&s;uing.</P>
<P N="1"><HI>1. That no Prince in all <HI>Europe,</HI> ought to haue any &s;uprema|cie, but the <HI>Pope</HI> onely.</HI></P>
<P N="2"><HI>2. That the <HI>Pope</HI> was indued with the holy Spirit, and ther|fore he could not &s;inne.</HI></P>
<P>Albeit a terror to any Chri&s;tian hart to heare it, and a diueli&s;h ob&s;tinacie in him&s;elfe to pro|nou~ce it, yet he traiterou&s;ly &s;aid.</P>
<P N="3"><HI>3. That our mo&s;te gratious So|ueraigne Lady, Queene <HI>Eli|zabeth,</HI> was an Heretique, and therefore not woorthy of any gouernment.</HI></P>
<P N="4"><PB REF="6">
<HI>4. And that the <HI>Pope</HI> hath as great &s;way and authoritie in this Realme of <HI>England,</HI> at this day, as he had a hundred yeeres agoe.</HI></P>
<P>With other &s;uch like wicked and abhominable arguments that he maintayned, and beeing there examined of them: he be|gan with this prote&s;tation. The <HI>Popes</HI> holyne&s;&s;e. At which, not onely the Honorable Bench, but al&s;o all that &s;tood by, entred into a great laughter: which cau&s;ed him to breake of the graue di&s;cour&s;e, that els they &s;hould haue heard. Then was he demau~ded of the former Arti|cles, to which he aun&s;wered. What I haue &s;ayd, I haue &s;ayd, and will &s;tand to, v&s;ing him&s;elfe very fond and full of deri&s;ion, e|uen
<PB REF="6">like all of that &s;ort, whom God hath giuen ouer into a re|probate &s;ence.</P>
<P>After diuers que&s;tions by the Benche, and aun&s;wers of him|&s;elfe, not heere to be &s;poken of: The Que&s;t of twelue men was panneled vpon him, whom he was willed to &s;ee, if he would challenge any of the~. No (quoth he) there is &s;ome indifferent men among them, or els it goes hard. So he &s;till troubling the Benche with ouer many words, as concerning how many &s;oules he had &s;aued &s;ynce his comming ouer, and what good hee had doone in his commaunded la|bour: That the Benche com|maunded him to &s;ilence, vntill the Que&s;t were come to giue vp theyr verdict. Who beeing come, and finding him guiltie, for that
<PB REF="7">before he had put him&s;elfe to God and the Countrey: he was demaunded what he could &s;ay for him&s;elfe, that iudgement &s;hould not proceede vpon him? He frumpingly aun&s;wered, you haue put me to &s;ilence, and now I will &s;ay nothing. Then the Benche commaunded him to holde vp his hand, and he held vp his left hand. Why quoth the Iu&s;tices, is this your Roomi&s;h order? then he held vp the other, and &s;coffingly &s;ayd. Now Sir, I pray you, is not one hand as good as y^e other for you? At le~gth ere iudgement was pronounced, the Benche rehear&s;ed vnto him, how <HI>B. Stephan Gardener</HI> reca~ted. He aun&s;wered, the greater was his &s;inne. Then they &s;ayd, how <HI>Cardinall Poole</HI> recanted, the greater was his &s;inne (quoth he
<PB REF="7">againe) <HI>Iohn Nichols</HI> (quoth the Bench) the other day recan|ted from his great impietie of life: he aun&s;wered, the more his &s;ynne, and greater his paines in the world to come. At la&s;t they told him, how the Papi&s;ts great God Bi&s;hop <HI>Bonner,</HI> recanted at his death. That is not &s;o (quoth he) for he neuer recanted. After many horrible &s;peeches by him pa&s;&s;ed, and by the Honorable Benche aun&s;wered: Iudgement of high Trea&s;on proceeded vp|on him, to be drawne, hanged and quartered. He aun&s;wered them againe, though you haue condemned me of Trea&s;on, yet doo I know that I am voyde of &s;inne in this. So was he cary|ed from thence to Newgate, where Mai&s;ter <HI>Crowley</HI> a god|ly Father, remained all the after|noone

<PB REF="9">with him in conference of the Scriptures, and found him altogether vnlearned, not able to an&s;wer any thing directly, but meruaylous ob&s;tinate and very impious.</P>
<P>ON Monday being the <HI>31.</HI> of <HI>Iuly,</HI> he was brought to Ti|borne the appointed place of Ex|ecution, being drawen from the pri&s;on of Newgate, vpon a hur|dle, and godly Preachers all the way exhorting him, but no &s;igne or motion of repentaunce might be perceiued in him. Beeing come to Tiborne, there was a Pri&s;oner executed before him, who had otherwi&s;e tre&s;pa&s;&s;ed, and he very mildely and peni|tently tooke his death, praying zealou&s;ly that God would turne the hart of this peruer&s;e wretch, and &s;o with &s;undry godly pray|ers,
<PB REF="9">ended his life. Then was this <HI>Ducket</HI> brought vp into the Cart, where were with him, Mai&s;ter <HI>Shakelton,</HI> Mai&s;ter <HI>Fi|dens,</HI> &amp; other godly Preachers, &s;till exhorting him: who after y^e noy&s;e of people was &s;ome what appea&s;ed (which was no &s;mall company) he began in this man|ner. I am brought hether this day to confe&s;&s;e my fault, belee|uing and a&s;&s;uring my &s;elfe in the death of Chri&s;te, who &s;hed his blood for the Catholique church, whereof I am a member, and hope therein to be &s;aued: for the Catholique Church, is and hath beene, from the beginning of the worlde vnto this day, the true prefiguration of Chri&s;te: And whereas the&s;e Mini&s;ters (&s;pea|king in deri&s;ion) haue prote&s;ted that I &s;ayd, Trea&s;on is no &s;inne:
<PB REF="10">I be&s;eech you all y^t are heere, be witne&s;&s;es with me (for the&s;e are the la&s;t woords, y^t I &s;hall &s;peake) that I &s;ayd not &s;o. The&s;e were my woords, that this which you call trea&s;on, &amp; that for which I here die to day, is no &s;in before God, though you plea&s;e to terme it &s;o. And I be&s;eech all Catholi|ques that are pre&s;ent heere to pray for me. The godly Prea|cher aun&s;wered, if there be any heere, I tru&s;t the number is very &s;mall, or none at all, quoth he, in time I tru&s;t the number will be increa&s;ed. For through y^e Catho|lique Church is the way to &s;al|uation, and the <HI>Popes</HI> holines is the head of that Church. Then he keeping clo&s;e his eyes, as though he were in his prayers, the Preachers rehear&s;ed vnto him the Lords praier, quoth he,
<PB REF="10">vayne woords, away with the rauening wolues. Mai&s;ter Sherife <HI>Woodcoke,</HI> then bad him a&s;ke the Queene forgiue|nes, whom he had offended, and all the pre&s;ent company. Quoth he, it is needles, I am a Subiect, and I graunt my &s;elfe to be a Subiect. Why (quoth Mai&s;ter Sherife) &s;he is &s;upreme head of y^e Church, therfore y^u oughte&s;t to &s;ubmit thy &s;elfe to her. Not &s;o (&abque; he) &s;he is a woman, and &s;he may not, neither can not &s;peake in the Church, and therfore ought not to bear any authority in it. With that, their godly eares not abi|ding to hear the&s;e bla&s;phemous wordes: drew away the Cart, &amp; let him hang &s;ca~t two turnes, but cut him downe, to abide the farder paynes, appointed for him,</P>
