sundry to be great Lords about him He also caused two Crowns of pure Gold to be made for himself and a Royal Robe Coller and Scepter with other Complements of Majesty He assigned also certain days wherein he would give Audience to all Complainants and Suters Whensoever he came abroad he was attended with his Officers and Gentlemen of his Court and with two young Henchmen on horseback the one on his right-hand carrying the Bible and the other on his left carrying a drawn Sword He had also a magnifical Throne prepared and set on high for him with a golden Cloth of Estate At a certain time when

did serve at table The supper being towards an end the King gave bread unto every one of them saying Take eat and shew forth the Lord's death Then the Queen presented them with the They prophanely give them the Communion cup saying Drink and shew forth the Lord's death This being done the said Prophet got him up into a pulpit and asked them if they would obey the word of the Lord which when they had yielded unto that they would he said it was the Father's commandment 28 Teachers sent forth that eight and twenty Doctors or Teachers should be sent forth into all the corners of the world to teach the doctrine that was taught and received in that City Then he named them all and the particular place whither each of them should go So after all was done they let the said eight and twenty

Preachers were come to the places assigned unto them they cried in the streets of the Towns where they came Repont repent or else you shall all quickly perish Then They preach Repentance Community of Goods and the universal Reign of Rightcousness brought to pass by King John of Leyden they spread their garments on the ground before the Magistrates and upon them they laid the pieces of Gold which were afore delivered unto them assuring them and protesting that they were sent from the heavenly Father to bring them peace and mercy and if they would receive it then they must give up all their Goods to be used in common but if they refused it then that sign and token should be a witness against them of ingratitude and rebellion against God For said they now is the time come that was spoken of afore by the Prophets in which Righteousness shall reign in the Earth universally and when the King meaning John of Leyden hath brought to pass that Righteousness shall rule in every place then

unto the Israelites They affirmed also that King David and John of Leyden were two righteous Prophets but the Pope and Luther were both false Prophets whereof Luther was the worse Thus still
