ABSTRACT

This document is in Harley MSS. 6848, f. 210 recto. It lists eight Separatists who were bailed upon promise of conformity. All were arrested on March 4 except Henry Brodwater, who had been apprehended about February 17–20 as a suspected collaborator in the coffin incident. Two of the men were charter members— William Mason and Henry Wythers. All were examined in April. Six evidently took the oath, but Edward Gilbert and Thomas Mihilfield refused to be sworn. Four of the men were shipwrights, from Deptford and Wapping, three were from. London, and one from Southwark. They were probably all bailed in April, 1593.
