Favinus 1borne in Faventia, was burned at Ferraria: by the earnest persuasions of his wife, & friends, he did first relent: whereof he conceived such sorrow of mind, that he could not be quiet, till he had fixed his mind to venture his life for the testimony of the trueth: whereupon, he went about all the country of Romaigna, publicly preaching the doctrine of Christ. So anno 1547. §1547he was apprehended again in a place called Bagnacavallo: where also he was condemned to be burned: but he said, his hour was not yet come, and the same to be but the beginning of his doctrine, and so it was: for shortly after, he was removed to Ferraria, where he was detained two years. At last, the Popes Inquisitors condemned him to death, an. 1549. §1549And yet his time being not come, he remained after that, till the month of September, an. 1550. §1550At length, being brought to a prison, where divers Lords, and Captains were, that stirred up factions. They first scorned him, and took him to be of a melancholic brain: but after, he so wrought with them, that their merry cheer was altered into a new kind of countenance: having him now in admiration, whom before they had in derision.
