Anno 1533. 1Martial Alba, Petrus Scriba, Bernard Segonie, Charles Faber, Peter Navihew, coming from Geneva, and going to Lions, where they sitting at the table of one that met them by the way, and bad them home to his house, were apprehended and led to prison: where after they had continued a year, and disputed with the Friars, & had ⟨p. 456⟩exhibited a learned confession of their faith, afterward were burned at Lions. They were examined sunderly of the sacrament of the Lords body, of purgatory, of confession, invocation, free will, and of the supremacy. &c. Being set on the cart, they began to sing Psalms: at the place of execution Martial Alba being the eldest,2 was the last that went to the stake, who desired he might go about his fellows tied at the stake and kiss them, which being granted, he went and kissed every one of them, saying: farewell my brother, likewise each one bad farewell my brother. The hangman thought first to have strangled them, but their faces being smeared with fat and brimstone, the rope was burnt before they were strangled: so the blessed martyrs in the middest of the fire, spake one to another to be of good cheer, and so departed Crisp.
