"Oh, I'm one of the town's schoolmasters," replied Old Dut dryly. "As for you, I imagine you're that doubtful celebrity, Mr. Fits otherwise a thief." "Get out of this!" warned the rascal darkly.

Not only were they permitted to arrest all preachers of heresy, all schoolmasters infected with heretical teaching, all owners and writers of heretical books, and to imprison them even if they recanted at the king's pleasure, but a refusal to abjure or a relapse after abjuration enabled them to hand over the heretic to the civil officers, and by these so ran the first legal enactment of religious bloodshed which defiled our Statute-book he was to be burned on a high place before the people.

In those less favored days, it is no fable that there were other clergymen besides Mr.
