Thank you for posting this sad, yet uplifting, bit of history.
The Catholic church has been instrumental in trying to eliminate those who preach God’s Word for practically as long as has been recorded.

... and we should admit that it was the government, not the (Anglican) church, who prosecuted for heresy in these cases. This was the era in English history when it was possible to be executed for being (a) less Catholic than the King; and also (b) more Catholic than the King.
There were even cases where diehard Catholics and diehard Protestants were taken off to their execution together.
