Anno 1546. Peter Chapet 1was first strangled, and then burnt at Paris, for scattering books of religion, and farther confession of his faith. His accuser was John Andre, promoter to Liset the President. Going to execution, he prayed, O L. Jesus, son of David have mercy upon me. Then said D. Malliard, who was one that disputed with him before, & was appointed to be present at execution: say Jesus Maria, or else (saith he) thou shalt be burned quick: which he refused to do, and afterward being struggled withal, to utter the same, did let scape out of his mouth, Jesus Maria unawares: but he by & by, repressing himself: O God (saith he) what have I done, pardon me O Lord, to the truth I have sinned. Then was he strangled, yet so, that somewhat he felt the pains of the fire. After this, Malliard full of anger, went to the judgement house, and much blamed the judges, for suffering the heretics to have their tongues: whereupon, a decree was made, that all that went to be burned, unless they would recant at the fire, should have their tongues cut out:2 which law was afterward diligently observed. Crisp. lib. 6.
