Hearing once that a certain schoolmaster, named Geleyn de Muler, of Audenarde, "was addicted to reading the Bible," he summoned the culprit before him and accused him of heresy.

The schoolmaster claimed, if he were guilty of any crime, to be tried before the judges of his town.

"You are my prisoner," said Titelmann, "and are to answer me and none other." The inquisitor proceeded accordingly to catechize him, and soon satisfied himself of the schoolmaster's heresy.

He commanded him to make immediate recantation.
The schoolmaster refused.

"Do you not love your wife and children ?" asked the demoniac Titelmann.
