See also:BALL, See also:JOHN (d. 1381) , an See also:English See also:priest who took a prominent See also:part in the See also:peasant revolt in 1381. Little is known of his See also:early years,but he lived probably at See also:York and afterwards at See also:Colchester. He gained considerable fame as a preacher by expounding the doctrines of John Wycliffe, but especially by his insistence on the principle of social equality. These utterances brought him into collision with the See also:archbishop of See also:Canterbury, and on three occasions he was committed to See also:prison. He appears also to have been excommunicated, and in 1366 all persons were forbidden to hear him preach. His opinions, however, were not moderated, nor his popularity diminished by these See also:measures, and his words had a considerable effect in stirring up the rising which See also:broke out in See also:June 1381. Ball was then in prison at See also:Maidstone; but he was quickly released by the Kentish rebels, to whom he preached at See also:Blackheath from the See also:text, " When See also:Adam delved and See also:Eve span, Who was then a See also:gentleman?" He urged his hearers to kill the See also:principal lords of the See also:kingdom and the lawyers; and he was afterwards among those who rushed into the See also:Tower of See also:London to seize See also:Simon of See also:Sudbury, archbishop of Canterbury. When the rebels dispersed Ball fled to the midland counties, but was taken prisoner at See also:Coventry and executed in the presence of See also:Richard II. on the 15th of See also:July 1381. Ball, who was called by See also:Froissart " the mad priest of See also:Kent," seems to have possessed the See also:gift of See also:rhyme. He undoubtedly voiced the feelings of the See also:lower orders of society at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.
