The woman aforesaid, Helen Stirke 1desired to die with her husband, and greatly encouraged him, & parting with him at the stake with a kiss, said, this was the joyfullest day that ever she had; and said she would not bid him good night: for (said she) we shall suddenly meet with joy in the kingdom of heaven: and so she was taken away, & drowned, although she had a child sucking on her.
