Margaret Trime (or Trem) [TC NOTE Trim] was reported to the Earl of Salisbury by Thomas Elliott 
on the grounds that the Trems were `the worst recusants in Dorsetshire' and that Margaret had 
spoken `wild words against the King at Wimborne'. 

`Mass is said in their house by a seminary priest and his ornaments are there: cope, chalice, 
pyx, holy water, with all other relics fit for Popery. Margaret has turned (i.e. converted) many
people of late ... 40 persons come to that house to mass and Margaret keeps all the saints and 
relics in her house fit for them.

Thomas Elliott's letter to the king in which he describes recusants as `devilish, arrogant, 
perverse and damned traitors,' and recommended that they be `quick lapped up alive in lead, with
their arms spread abroad, and set upon the highest pinnacle in every city and port town in 
England, and there let them starve to death.
