Anno 1546. Johan. Diazius, a Spaniard, was martyred, ⟨p. 442⟩and killed of his own brother, at Norberg in Germany: where Diazius 1was busy in printing of Bucers Book. His brothers name, was Alphonsus, who brought with him from Rome, a cut throat, and a ruffian, to kill his brother. To whom, he coming, & persuading him to revoke the truth, & the other refusing so to do, he feigned himself to depart, & took his leave of his brother: and by the way, buying an hatchet of a carpenter, sent his man disguised, with letters to his brother, himself following after: as John Diazius in the morning was rising out of his bed, to read the letters: the wretched hangman, with the hatchet, clave his head in sunder to the brains, leaving the hatchet in his head: and so he, with Alphonsus, took them to their heels. They of Norberg hearing of the fact, made after them, and one of the company overtook them, and caused them to be put in prison at Genipont: but the Papists handled the matter so, that the Emperor took it into his own hearing, and no judgement was given. Ex Claudio Senarclero.
