Note 90 — Chapter XIII · THE RISE OF MODERN FREETHOUGHT—(Continued)
Reading edition
In 1580 Stow records how one Randall was put on trial for “conjuring to know where treasure was hid in the earth and goods feloniously taken were become”; and four others were tried “for being present.” Four were found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. Randall was executed, and the others reprieved. (Ed. 1615, p. 688.) ↑
