Being a true story of those fine things, wherewith King Iohn Becock, at first a botcher of Leiden by profession, and his companions the Anabaptists, pleased themselves after they were become masters of that city.

Then the Queene taking the cup gave it about saying Drinke ye and declare ye the death of the Lord. After this the Prophet before mentioned gets up into a pulpit and thence he askes the people whether they would obey the Word of God or not then they all affirmed they would It is the command said he then of our Father that some Teachers of the Word some 28. should be sent abroad who going forth to the foure corners of the world should preach the same doctrine which is taught in this Citie Vpon this he names such as should goe and appoints them which way they should steare their course To Osenburg were sent VI. as many to Warendorf To Lusat IIX and so many more to Cosfield After this the King and Queen supped with the rest of their Officers and them that were designed to be sent abroad In the midst of supper the King rises pretending he had forgotten some weighty businesse given him in charge by the Father By chance they had a souldier in their hands lately taken to him the King goes and accuses him of Treason as it were another Iudas and himselfe cuts off his head Then he comes againe to supper and here he relates his bloody deed passing it over with a jest After supper they that were appointed were sent away about shutting in of night besides provision for their journeys every one had a piece of gold given him which they were commanded to leave in those places that would not admit of their doctrine as a testimonie of their ensuing destruction and everlasting perdition for their refusall of peace and so wholsome doctrine When they were come to the severall places whither they were directed they first raised a great cry every where about the Towne warning all men in generall to repent threatning destruction to them otherwise in a short time This plain trick effecting nothing they took their cloakes and spread on the ground before the Magistrates casting thereon the money which had been delivered to them then assuring them that
