Thomas Bagley, Priest.

And now to proceed as we have begun with our former stories, generally we find in Fabian's Chronicles, that in the same year of our Lord, 1431, Thomas Bagley, a priest, vicar of Monenden beside Malden, being a valiant disciple and adherent of Wickliff, was condemned by the bishops of heresy at London, about the middle of Lent, and was degraded and burned in Smithfield.

Paul Craw, a Bohemian, Martyr.

The same year also was Paul Craw, a Bohemian, taken at St. Andrew's, by the bishop Henry, and delivered over to the secular power to be burnt, for holding opinions contrary unto the church of Rome, touching the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, the worshipping of saints, auricular confession, with other Wickliff's opinions.[1]
