THE ENGLISH martyrologue CONTAINING A SUMMARY OF THE LIVES of the glorious and renowned Saints of the three Kingdoms, ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND.  
COLLECTED AND DISTRIBUTED into Months, after the form of a Calendar, according to every Saints festivity.  
WHEREUNTO Is annexed in the end a Catalogue of those, who have suffered death in England for defence of the Catholic Cause, since King Henry the 8. his breach with the Sea Apostolic, unto this day.  
By a Catholic Priest.  Eccles. 44. Nomen eorum vivet in generationem & generationem. Their memory shall live from generation to generation. 
Permissu Superiorum. Anno 1608.   
Ecce Regni Anglia dulcis patriae excidium dolendun etc. Mar●yribus, Confessoribus, etc. Behold the lamentable destruction of England so pleasant a Country etc. An Island so shining with Martyrs. Confessors, and holy Virgins, that scarcely shall you pass by any famous Village or street, where you shall not hear the glorious Name of some new Saint or other etc. Matth. Paris. in Hist. Angl. Anno 1. Gul. Conquest. NVsquam gentium, ut opinor, reperies. etc. No where, I suppose, shall you find so many incorrupted bodies of saints (as in England) resembling that their everlasting incorruptibility. Which by divine providence, I think, to be therefore so ordained; that a Nation situated almost out of the world, should by consideration of their incorruption, be more confidently animated to the hope of eternal Resurrection etc. Author Continuat. Hist. Ven. Bedae l. 2. cap. 30. Vixit anno 1110. EVery corner of S. Augustine's Monastery at Canterbury lieth full of the bodies of Saints, and those of no small Name or merit; but even of such, as one whereof alone were sufficient to make England famous. etc. Idem eodem lib. cap. 33.  

TO THE CATHOLICS OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND.  
WHEN I had almost brought this little work to an end, (dear Catholic Countrymen) I began to think with myself, to whom, among many so dearly affected, I might make bold to dedicate the same, thereby the better to patronize that, which over bold presumption had conceived. And though the thing itself needed none other Patrons or Protectors then the glorious Saints themselves, of whom we are now to treat: yet because I might not seem, in a manner, to defraud any herein of their right & interest, which I imagined; at last I thought it most convenient, that YOU, whose hearts and minds are firmly fixed in the honour and veneration of so glorious and elected wights, and for the embracing whereof you daily suffer so great and many persecutions, should take upon you this Protection, for whose comfort and consolation principally (next after the honour of the Saints themselves) the same is published. I do not here offer unto you any new thing (which is always commonly the custom of such to do who dedicate their works to others) but that which so many ages since, hath by a certain inheritance, as it were, of your forefathers, descended still, by good right and title, unto you, and shall hereafter unto your, and all posterity. Only this, that I have here gathered together, and restored unto you again, that which the injury of times had violently taken from you, and sought to abolish all memory thereof: humbly presenting the same, as a duty of my love towards you, & my dearest Country. Wishing you to take in good part, what my poor endeavours have been able to produce herein for your spiritual consolation, in these your so great afflictions and pressures: with desire to be made partaker of your good prayers.  
This first of October. 1608. Yours wholly devoted. I. W. Priest.

AN ADVERTISEMENT OF THE AUTHOR to the Catholic Reader.  
WHEREAS all Books (good Reader) of what subject soever, that are published to the view of the world, must pass the censures and judgements of many sorts of people; I have thought it not amiss before thou enter any further into the contents, to give thee two or three short advertisements in this place; as well thereby to prevent all occasions of misconstruction or cavil, that any man, perchance, may take against this little work or Sanctiloge of mine; as also the better to inform thy understanding, concerning divers doubts or other difficulties, that in the reading thereof may happily occur unto thee.  
1. First then I would have thee to understand, that what I have here set down in this ensuing martyrologue concerning the lives and miracles of these glorious and renowned Saints of our Great-Britany, and of the islands belonging thereunto; I have done the same with all truth, sincerity & conscience, to my knowledge: not contenting myself with bare words and relations only; but have in the margins quoted also the books and places of the Authors, out of whom I have gathered all that is here alleged. Neither have I used any other Authors herein, but such as are approved by the Sea Apostolic, or at leastwise permitted by the same rejecting all Apocryphal Legends or other fabulous Histories, that may be any way suspected of the least note of falsity or error whatsoever.  
2 Secondly I have not taken upon me in this Catalogue or Calendar to make an universal martyrologue, but have gathered together only the ancient Saints, Martyrs, Confessors & Virgins of our three Kingdoms, England, Scotland & Ireland: Yet for that, besides these of our own, there are some others also of foreign Nations, by whom our said Countries have received some notable or peculiar benefit, either public or private; as having been our Apostles or Patrons, either by way of preaching, teaching, protection, or otherwise in the cooperation to our Conversion, and consequently to be by us honoured and reverenced for such, as all our Cath. Ancestors and forefathers have done before us, and as we see all other Catholic Countries round about us to do the like in the same case: These (I say) I have thought good to account as our own, & together with our own to place them on their proper festival days, to the end we may as well with due honour observe their Memories and Solemnities: as also thereby avoid the ungrateful oblivion of so great & inestimable benefits received by them and their merits.  
3. The third Advertisement may be, that whereas it hath pleased God to give unto our little Dominions so many glorious Saints, both Martyrs, Confessors & Virgins (besides these later of our days, whose Names I have also put down in a Catalogue a part by themselves, in the later end of this book) who may be more than sufficient, to make a whole and complete Calendar, throughout every month, placing on every day one; yet for that a great number of our ancient Saints have no proper festivities in our English Catholic Church, and many of them forgotten and almost out of memory, by this unfortunate fall of our Country, from the true and ancient Catholic faith, and union of the Sea Apostolic: I have thought it most convenient for the more full accomplishing and perfecting of a martyrologue, that where any day falleth out to be altogether void; there to place one or more of the foresaid ancient Saints, whose public celebrity hath not been hitherto kept; & thereof to make a Commemoration only (which in the Roman & other Martyrologes is often used) noting the same with the sign of an Asterisk or Star in the Margin, to the end it may be known and observed of the Reader. And where none of these foresaid Marks, so noted, is to be found; then upon that day is put the true festivity of the Saint, whom there thou shalt find placed.  
4. And lastly, I do not mean by this ensuing martyrologue to introduce any other public observation or festivity of any of the Saints herein by me set down, then that which the Catholic Church of England hath in formertymes, and doth also at this present celebrate: but only my intention is to lay forth the sum of their lives and miracles as briefly as I may, for the increase of devotion in the Catholic people, and for the duty and reverenced owe unto them both: leaving the rest to every man's pri 〈…〉re and particular devotion, as he shall, by reading the same, be affected to their glorious veneration. Widow 〈…〉ing heartily all such Catholics of our said Countries, to whose hands this little work may chance to come; that if they have any other notes, concerning these our ancient Saints lying by them, they would vouchsafe, either to impart the same unto me, or be pleased themselves, by reviewing this small labour of mine, to publish the same anew, and a 〈…〉 end my imperfections herein, if any shallbe found; as well for the honour of the glorious Saints themselves, as the public utility of these our Kingdoms and Countries. Farewell.

THE month OF JANVARY.  

A The first Day.  
AT Glastenbury-Abbey in 
*  Somersetshire the Commemoration of the Saints Midwyne and Eluane Confessors, 
Bar on. in Annal. Eccl. an. 183. ex antiquis monum. Eyseng. cent. 2. p. 6. dist. 6. 10. Capgrau. in Catal. Sanctor. Britan. Registr. Monast. Glascon.  who being two noble ancient Britan's by birth, were sent by King Lucius of Brittany to Rome to Pope Elutherius, to treat of his Conversion to Christian faith, and being there both baptised by the said Pope, & S. Eluane made a Bishop, they were sent back again into Brittany, together with Fugatius and Damianus, who baptised the King and the greatest part of his Nation, in the year of our Lord 183. And after they had much laboured in teaching and instructing the new flock of Christ in our Island for many years, full of sanctity of life, and venerable old age, they both ended their happy days, about the year of Christ, an hundred ninety and eight, & were buried at Glastenbury, as the ancient Records of that Abbey do witness,  
And in other places of many holy Martyrs, Confessors, and Virgins; to whose prayers and merits, we humbly commend ourselves.  
This last clause is always thus to be repeated in the end of every day.   

B The second Day.  
AT Lichfield in Staffordshire the Commemoration 
*  of A thousand holy Martyrs, of the British Nation, who newly converted

B 〈…〉 an.  to the faith of Christ, and being Disciples and followers of S. Amphibale Priest, that suffered in the persecution of Dioclesian Emperor, and present at his Martyrdom near unto the town of S. Albans in Hartfordshire, fled thence for fear of like torments; but being overtaken at Lichfield, they were all in hatred of Christian Religion, there most cruelly put to death, by commandment of the Precedent of Britain, about the year of Christ three hundred and four. The place where they suffered, was afterward called Cadaverum campus, which is as much to say as Lich-field in English, & where the foresaid City is now built, and thereof taketh his ancient name and denomination. And in other places of many holy Martyrs, Confessors, and Virgins, etc.   

C The third Day.  
IN Cornwall the Commemoration of S. Meliorus Martyr, son to Melianus Duke of that 
*  Province, who being his Father's only son and heir, and secretly made a Christian, 
Io. Capgrau. in Catalogue. Sanctor. Britan. Anno Domini 411. ex antiquis monum. Provinc. Cornub.  was by a brother-in-law of his called Rinaldus a pagan, cruelly murdered, partly in hatred of his faith and Religion, and partly to enjoy his inheritance. He first cut of his right hand, and then his left leg, and last of all his head, about the year of Christ four hundred and eleven.

Benedict, where in all kind of sanctity of life, and Monastical discipline, he ended his blessed days, about the year of Christ, six hundred and fifty. His memory is yet very famous amongst the Catholics, aswell of the Scottish, as the Irish Nation; in both which Kingdoms in former times, many Churches and altars have been dedicated in his honour. It is here, and in many other places to be observed, that the Irish and Scottish Historiographers do oftentimes disagree about the native Country of divers Saints mentioned in this martyrologue; For that in ancient times the Island of Hybernia being called Scotia, hath caused a great confusion, especially amongst foreign writers, who for want of knowledge herein, do often confound the one nation with the other.

On a time he would have gone to Durham, but had no boat to pass over the river of 
Vita eius extat in veter. Codice Antuerpiae, in custodia cuiusdam Nobilis viri, ubi festivitas eius ponitur hac die.  Wire; Wherefore being solicitous how to get over, a boat that was fastened on the other side of the water, broke loose, and of itself came over unto him, wherein he passed. Towards the end of his days, he got a swelling in one of his knees, through over much praying, which growing to an ulcer, at last brake, and when certain little worms crept thereout, he would take and put them in again, saying: Go into your inheritance, where you have been nourished, etc. And so persevering in a most godly and Saintly life for a long time, when the hour of death drew near, he went into a little Chapel in the same island, and taking the belrope in his hand, when he had rung it, he departed this life. A monk of the next Monastery hearing the bell ring, made haste thither, and found him dead, sitting upon a stone with the belrope in his hand, and a candle standing lighted by him, which did yield so clear a light that it dazzled the eyes of the beholders.

There was a fair Church erected in her honour in the City of London, which until this day is yet remaining, commonly called S. Brides, as also many others both in England, Ireland and Scotland. And in the isle of Man, where it is recorded that sometimes she lived, there is an ancient Town & Church of her Name, still retaining the vulgar denomination of S. Brides. Her body was interred at the Town of Dunne, in the Province of Ulster, in the tomb, together with the venerable bodies of S. Patrick and and S.

The same being taken up again, nine years after her death, was found altogether uncorrupt, her very garments not so much as any whit perished: where God testifying her Holiness by many miracles, was thereby greatly glorified in this his Virgin.

Wherefore after seven months imprisonment, and divers kinds of torments, he was finally stoned to death at the foresaid town of Green-wich by the enemies of truth, in the year of Christ, one thousand and twelve; whose body was first brought to London, and afterward translated to Canterbury. About this time also (as it is recorded) were slain by the said Danes, for the Christian faith, six and thirty monks of S.

In which place also he founded a goodly Monastery, & endowed it with great lands and possessions. This King Offa went after in person to Rome, and procured S. Alban Canonization, and privileges for the said Monastery, of Pope Adrian the first: As also gave to the Sea of Rome a certain tribute of his Kingdom, gathering yearly, of every family of his dominions, certain money for the same, commonly called peterpence, which tribute continued in our Island until King Henry the 8. when first the breach began with the sea Apostolic.

He ended his venerable old days; after much sorrow and tribulation, in great sanctity and holiness of life, in the year of Christ, one thousand two hundred fifty and eight, upon the day of our Blessed saviours Ascension, deserving to receive the Crown of his labours, on the same day, that Christ our Saviour, after his bitter passion here on earth for the Redemption of mankind, entered into the glory of his eternal Father.

Gregory, whereat also it pleased God, in witness of his innocent life, to work many miracles. Moreover it is recorded, that his Velvet ●at which he used to wear, being put on men's heads, that were troubled with the headache, were presently cured.

He died in all sanctity and holiness of life, in the year of Christ, nine hundred threescore and fifteen: whose body was with all solemnity and veneration, honourably interred at Glastenbury; which being taken up in the year, one thousand fifty and two (almost fourscore years after his death by Aldar Abbot of that place, was found whole and uncorrupt, & being cut, fresh blood issued thereout, as if he had been newly dead; whereupon he was put into a costly shrine of silver, which himself had sometime given to that Church, and placed upon the high altar, together with the head of S.

Benedict at Malmesbury, and afterward being made Abbot of that Monastery, went to Rome in company of King Ceadwall, and was there created Bishop of Sherborne in Dorcetshire by Pope Sergius, and sent back to his bishopric, where after great labours and many notable books written for the instruction of men in Christian Religion, but especially one of Virginity, which he dedicated to the Nuns of Barkensteed, and whereby many were moved to that holy kind of Religious life, he finally reposed in our Lord, in the year of Christ, seven hundred and nine. His body was buried at Sherborne first, but afterward removed to Maimesbury, where the same was wont to be kept in Catholic times with great veneration.   

F The six and twentieth Day.  
AT Canterbury the deposition of S. Augustine Confessor and first Bishop of that Sea, who being sent from Rome by S. Gregory

He died in the year of Christ, six hundred, and was buried at Canterbury, where his feast was wont to be kept holiday with great solemnity, and so likewise throughout the whole Diocese.  
THE same day at Gl●stenbury in Somersetshire the festivity of the Saints Fugatius 
Pont. Vi●un. Gauf Monum. in hist. Britan. Pol. Vir. Matth. West. Cestrens. & alij.  and Damianus Confessors, who being sent into Brittany by S. Eleutherius Pope (whose ●east is also this day celebrated) did baptise K. Lucius with the greatest part of his Kingdom, as also did institute three archbishoprics (to wit London, York, and Carleon in Wales) and twenty eight bishoprics in place of so many Flaminies, teaching and instructing the people in all Christian virtues and cerimonyes necessary for that new planted Catholic Church. And when they had thus laboured for many years, full of most venerable old age, and sanctity of life, they both ended their blessed days, about the year of Christ, one hundred fourscore and eleven, and are said to have been buried at Gl●stenbury.   

G The seven & twentieth Day.  
AT Geruaux in Yorkshire the deposition of S. Bede Priest, who being a monk of

Peter and S. Paul, upon the river bank of Wire, in the Kingdom of the Northumber's, so illustrated God's Church by his writings, that not only in his life time, but ever since he hath for the same been called by the name of Venerable. He departed this world in great sanctity and holiness of life about the year of Christ, seven hundred threescore & six, and was buried at Geruaux in the Monastery there, with this Epitaph.  

Presbyter hic Beda requieseit carne sepultus;  
Dona christ animam in caelis gaudere per aewm.  
Daue i i sophia debriari font, cui iam  
Suspiravit orans intento semper amore.   
But his body being afterward translated to Durham, and placed in the tomb together with S. Cuthbert, was there kept with great reverence, even until the days of the late Queen Elizabeth. There is a very ancient Table hanging in the new Church of S. Peter at Rome, which my sel●e have seen and read, wherein are registered these words: In medio Ecclesiae ante portam, quae dicitur Argentea, sub lapide circulari, sepultum est corpus Venerabilis Bedae Presbyteri etc. But it is not (I suppose) to be understood of this our S. Bede of England, (as many do) but rather of another of the same name, though not so ancient as he, who was a Monk also of S. Benedictes Order, & very famous for learning, in the time of Charles 
Tabul●e Canobij S. Benig. prope Genuam.  the Great, with whom he lived; and after his death (which was in the year of Christ, eight hundred and nineteen) his body shining with miracles, was for a time translated to the Monassery of S. Benignus, near Genua in Italy, and perhaps afterwards to Rome. But whosoever this was, it is not any way manifest, that our S. Bede was ever at Rome, either alive or dead.   

A The eight & twentieth Day.  
AT Luxovium in France the Commemoration 
*  of S. jonas Abbot and Confessor, who borne in Scotland of a noble parentage, and contemning the world in the flower of his youth, went over into France and thence into Lombardy to S. Columbane the Great, where he became a monk of the venerable Order of S. Benedict, and S. Columbanes 
Arnol. Wion l. 2. ligni vitae de Script. ord. Benedict. Molan. passim in addit. ad usuar.  disciple, and was afterward made Abbot of Luxovium, where in all kind of good learning, sanctity of life, and other virtues, he ended his blessed days, about the year of Christ, six hundred and thirty. He wrote the lives of S. Columbane aforesaid, S. Eustachius and S. Bertulph Abbots, which are to be seen at large in Surius, though being annexed to the third Tome of S. Bedes works, are, by error, attributed unto him.   

B The nine & twentieth Day.  
ATS. Buriens in Corn-wall, the Commemoration 
*  of S. Burien Virgin, who being an Irish-woman of great nobility by 
Ex antiq. Monum. Cornu. et Registr. eiusdem Eccl. ibid.  birth, came over into England and lived a most virtuous and godly life for many years in Corn wall, where in very great sanctimony and working of Miracles, she finally gave up her soul to her heavenly spouse. Her memory is very famous, even until this day in our Island of Great Brittany, especially among the Cornish-men, where there is a town and port of her name in the Cape or Promont of Cornwall, commonly called S. Buriens: where also in times past hath been a famous Church erected in her honour.   

C The thirtieth Day.  
AT Colchester in Essex the Commemoration of S. Hieu Virgin, who borne of o● a noble blood in the Kingdom of the 
*  Northumber's, & building there a goodly Monastery called Heorth●u (of which the holy Virgin Hilda was first Abbess) is said to 
De ea vid. ven. Be●. l. 4. c. 23. digest. Angl. Hulus meminit Arnol●. Wion in Append. ad l. 3. lig. vita.  have been the first woman in that Kingdom, that took upon her the vow and habit of a Nun, being veiled and consecrated thereunto by S. Aidan Bishop of Lindisferne. And afterwards coming into the Province of the Fastangles, to the City called Calcaria (and now Colchester) in all sanctimony and holiness of life, she finally there ended her blessed days, about the year of Christ, six hundred fifty and seven.   

D The one & thirtieth Day.  
AT Eucsham in Worcester-shire the festivity of S. Wolstan, Nephew to two Kings of Mercia, who being slain in hatred of Christian Religion by one of his own Kinsmen, a great light from heaven was seen for thirty days together 
Matth. West. an. 849. I●. Capg. in Catal. SS. Britan. Author Contin. hist. Ven. Bed. l. 2. cap. 31.  to descend and remain over the place, where he lay killed. By this miraculous token, his body being found out, was first buried in the Monastery of Rependowne (now called Ripon) in Yorkshire: and after when many miracles were wrought thereat, it was translated to the Abbey of Euesham (which holy S. Egwyn Bishop of Worcester had founded not many years before) and there with great solemnity and veneration placed in the Church of that Monastery whereat it pleased God, in testimony of his innocency, to show wondrous things. He was martyred upon the vigil of Pentecost, about the year of Christ, eight hundred forty and nine.

Chad Bishop of Lichfield, were both by their own Father slain in hatred thereof, as they were at prayer in S. Chads' Oratory, about the year or Christ, six hundred threescore & eight. Their bodies were by their mother Queen Ermenild (afterward also a Saint) conveyed to Stone, and there kept with great veneration, where also in time, was erected a goodly Church, together with a Priory, and dedicated in their honour. But the K. their Father soon after repenting him of the fact, with great sorrow and contrition came to S. Chad, and ask him forgiveness, received the Christian faith: whereupon destroying all the Temples of the Idolatrous Gods in his Dominions, did in their places build Churches and monasteries; and among the rest, he founded the goodly Abbey of Medeshamsteed (now called Peterburrow) dedicating the same unto God and S. Peter the Apostle, and enriching it with many and large poss●ssions.   

F The second Day.  
AT Dunfermelling in Scotland, the Commemoration 
*  of B●essed Malcoline, the third King of that name, and husband to the famous S. Margaret Queen of Scotland, whose godly works of piety & devotion are famous all to posterity, especially to his successors, as well in that Kingdom, as to other Princes of blood in Europe. He was so zealous in the love of God, that he became more holy than any of his predecessors had been before him, being wholly addicted to the repairing and erecting of Churches, monasteries, and bishoprics. Moreover he was accustomed, with his Religious Qu. S. Margaret, every day to serve with his

His body is kept at the foresaid town of Ark until this day, with due honour and veneration of the inhabitants, for the Miracles, that by his merits, it hath pleased God to work thereat, and there is visited as chief Patron of the Village.   

A The fourth Day.  
AT Bodmin in Corn-wall the deposition of S. Patrocke Bishop & Confessor, whose

He lived about the year of Christ, eight hundred and fifty; & is said to have been the first bishop of Cornwall, placing his Episcopal Sea at the forenamed town of Bodmin, which Bishopric was afterwards translated to S. Germane at Cridington (now called Kirton) in the same Province, & lastly to Excester in Devonshire by King Edward the Confessor, in the year of Christ, one thousand and fifty.

It is recorded by Polidor Virgil, that when he was restored again to his Bishopric, and coming towards York, the people flocked in so great number to congratulate and welcome his return, that passing over the River beyond Pontfract, the throng and press was so great, that the bridge (being but of wood) broke, even ●ust, as the B●shop was over, and threw all the rest into the water: which when the holy man saw, he fell down upon his knees, and besought our Lord to save them.

Many Authors (of foreign Nations especially) do often times confound this Monastery of Benchor in Ireland, with that of Bangor in Caerneruanshire of North-wales, thinking them to have been all one, whereas they were different, and situated in two several Kingdoms.

Peter being fastened to a Cross with his head down ward, and S. Paul beheaded. Of these two Apostles it is recorded by divers very ancient writers, that about the year of Christ, threescore and seven, they came both personally into our island of great Brittany, and there preached the Christian faith, founded Churches, ordained Priests and Deacons, and therefore may worthily be called our Apostles, of whom we have received so great benefits. There are very many Churches in our Country dedicated in their honour, as special Patrons of our Island. And in the time of King Edward the Confessor, S. Peter appearing to a very holy man, showed him, that himself had sometimes preached in Brittany, and consequently the special care he had of that Church and Country.

Whensoever he was to consecrate any new Church, though it were never so far of; yet would he go thither on foot. It chanced on a Market day at Winchester that a woman passing over the bridge, with a basket of eggs, where the holy man was sitting to see the workmen labour, about mending of the bridge; and one of the said labourers offering to jest with the woman, and she resisting, broke all her eggs: which thing the good Bishop seeing, and lamenting the woman's loss, made the sign of the Cross over the said broken eggs, and immediately they all became whose again. He died about the year of Christ, eight hundred threescore and two, and was buried at Winchester.  
THE same day at Landaffa in Clamorganshire of Wales the deposition of S. Oudocke Confessor and Bishop of that Sea, who

In which dignity, in great sanctity of life & spirit of prophecy, he ended his venerable old days, in the year o● Christ, nine hundred f●fty and eight, and was buried at Canterbury. Matthew a Monk of Westminster recounteth a dreadful example of revenge, taken upon his successor in that Bishopric, Ealysine, who so soon as S. Odo was dead, and procuring himself to be elected 
Matth. West. an. 934. & 958. Hereb. Rosweyd. in ast. SS. hac die. Molan. in addit. ad usuar.  in his room by Simony, the very first day o● his induction to that Sea, he most contemptuously trod him under his feet in his grave. With which fact God being highly offended, soon after revenged the same in the behalf of S. Odo. For Ealssine going to Rome for his Pall, perished most miserabl●, through hunger and cold, in the alps (which thing was ●ortould also by S. Odo) being forced before his death, to put those his feet in the warm dung of horses, with which he had so insolently trodden upon the others body in his grave.

At what time also is recorded a famous & miraculous victory achieved by the prayers of these two Saints, against those heretics, by only crying and sounding out the word Alleluia, wherewith the said Pelagians were driven away and discomfited. And for this singular benefit, that our Country hath received by this servant of Christ, it seemeth not amiss, that his memory should be recorded among the ancient Saints of our Nation (though he were a Frenchman by birth) and his festivity celebrated by us, for the increase of devotion in our Island, that was once made worthy of so glorious a Patron and Protector.

A Monk of the same Monastery, that had a sore ulcer in his breast, and now grown to a fistula, came to the said Alexander's tomb, and there prayed. Unto whom Alexander appearing brighter than the sun with two Crowns, one on his head, and another in his hand; the Monk demanded what that double Crown meant? He answered and said: The Crown in his hand is for the temporal Crown, which I forsook for Christ's love (for he should have been King of Scotland, being next heir thereunto by succession, as the Story relateth:) The other on my head, is that which I have received common with other Saints. And that you may be assured of the verity of this vision, you shall now be cured of your infirmity. And having thus spoken, and the other immediately healed, he vanished away.

Sto. in Annal. hoc anno & sequentibus  prosperity, famous throughout the Christian world, both for Religion, learning, and prowess, upon displeasure taken against the Pope's Holiness, about his divorce with Queen Catherine his lawful wife; began unfortunately his breach with the Sea Apostolic, forbidding by Proclamation upon the 19 of September, all suits to be made to the Court of Rome. etc. And so by little and little going forward in this course now begun, and being (through evil Counsel) incited first against the Clergy of England, condemning them in a Praemunire (for relaxation whereof they 
Sand. l. 1. de Schism. Ang.  were forced to give him an hundred thousand pounds) and then against the Pope; at last entitled himself Head of the Church of England, taking upon wholly the government of all the Ecclesiastical state in his Dominions dissolving and suppressing monasteries & other Religious places at his pleasure. And moreover exacting an Oath, under pain of death, of all sorts of subjects, against their consciences, of this his pretended Supremacy. This foresaid breach with the Sea of Rome, thus begun, and continued afterward under the reign of King Henry's two Children Edward and Elizabeth, holdeth also until this day in our Country in their Successor K. james, to the great grief of all the Christian Catholic world. The names of those, who for refusing the said Oath, or otherwise resisting this their pretenced Supremacy, have suffered under these foresaid Princes, are set down as followeth, according to the years, months & days of their deaths.
