  • "...very ass..." doesn't make sense, even if that's how they talked in 1578. Seems like an an adjective is missing. Maile66 (talk) 16:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

ALT 1: ... that in 1578 Francis Marbury, a priest and the father of Anne Hutchinson, was called by the Bishop of London an "ass, an idiot, and a fool," then sent to Marshalsea Prison for two years for his impudence?

Yeh, I guess that's the way they spoke. To sound better, and keep the quote valid, how about Alt 1?Sarnold17 (talk) 17:22, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Alt 1 rolls easier. Then you won't have readers saying, "...huh?" Maile66 (talk) 17:48, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
