6. After his death the enemies began to diſperſe themſelves, and ſome letters were in his poſſeſſion found, the which (if hee could have happily joined himſelfe to the multitude of ſeditious countrymen) hee intended to have diſperſed throughout the whole Kingdome, and incited all men to take up armes for the defence of adminiſtring the Cup in the Sacrament. But with thoſe that knew the man better, this forgery got no credit; for that he was known to be of a quiet diſpoſition, and truly Godly, and was wont to ſay very often that tears were the arms of the Church; nay, he was ſo far from any ſuch thing, that he ſeemed not to approve that the Orders ſhould defend their religion by armes. Unleſſe by chance being maſtered by impatience, he might happily join with them in their deſperare Councells, which he only knows from whom nothing is hid. Thiswe are certain of, that it is no new device, for the enemies of the Church, to lay ſuch notable aſperſions upon the Godly, that they might put a fairer gloſſe upon their tyranny. We will hereafter acquaint you how the Father of this Martyr (a man of eighty yeares of age) laid his life downe for Religion in the ſame yeare at Proſtanna in Moravia.
