In the latter end of this month of July, Joh. Aleworth 1died in prison at Reading, being there in bonds for the testimony of Jesus. About the end of July, James Abbes was brought before the B. of Norwich, D. Hopton: to whom through his threatenings in the end James yielded and now when he was dismissed, & should go from the B, he calling him again, gave him a piece of money either xx. or xl d: which when James had received & was gone from the B: his conscience began to rob, & immediately to accuse his fact. In which combat with himself, (being piteously vexed) he went immediately to the B. again, & there threw him his money, & said: it repented him that ever he gave his consent to persuasions: & that he gave his consent in taking money. When no persuasions could avail with him, he was condemn ned to the fire: which he endured patiently for the name of Christ, the 2. of August An. 1555. in the town of Berry.
