Footnote 182: Wood records such a state of mind in John Nicolls, who, in
1577 left England, made a recantation of his heresy, and was "received
into the holy Catholic Church." Returning to England he recanted his
Roman Catholic opinions, and even wrote "His Pilgrimage, wherein is
displayed the lives of the proud Popes, ambitious Cardinals, leacherous
Bishops, fat bellied Monks, and hypocritical Jesuits" (1581).
Notwithstanding which, he went beyond the seas again (to turn Mohometan,
his enemies said), and under threats and imprisonment at Rouen, recanted
all that he had formerly uttered against the Romanists. - Athenae
