From The Publications of the Huguenot Society of London, Vol. I, 1887-1888 (reprinted 1969) is this passage:

One Jacques, the son of Jacques Visaige, a carpenter of Dranoutre, examined under torture, 15th January, 1568 , alleged he had known, without being present, that his countrymen at Sandwich and Norwich had arranged plans for pillage of churches and other outrages; that three of their ministers... had come from England, and that he had seen and assisted them in Flanders; and that those who had been concerned in the murders had seen and assisted them in Flanders; and that those who had been concerned in the murders committed at Houtkerke, Roedsbrugge, Oostcapelle, Reninghelst, Steenwereq and elsewhere, ... had robbed churches, and had burnt and destroyed images, and had been sent from England to carry out the resolutions taken at Sandwich and Norwich. Jacques Visaige (with six others) was executed on the 18th February, being burnt alive, because as was considered proved by his evidence under torture, he was at Sandwich, where the conspiracy to kill the priests and the papists was asserted to have been entered into, and that he had taken money, powder, and lead to the brigands of Mont des Cats, and because he had assisted in the murder of certain priests.
