.....and the innocent and righteous slay thou not:
for I will not justify the wicked.
Exodus 23:7
"Thomas Harding (born about 1470 died at Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England, May 1532).
In 1532, Thomas Harding, who with his wife, had been accused of heresy, was brought before the bishop of Lincoln, and condemned for denying the real presence in the Sacrament.
He was then chained to a stake, erected for the purpose, at Chesham in the Pell, near Botely; and when they had set fire to the fagots, one of the spectators dashed out his brains with a billet.
The priests told the people that whoever brought fagots to burn heretics would have an indulgence to commit sins for forty days."
