Pigot being called at the sessions at Wisbich, would not absent himself, but appeared, & was with the other, carried to Ely to prison: where they remained till they suffered. During which time, there came to them one Peter Valentius a French man, who had bin a remainer there about xx. years, & strengthened them in the faith. Shaxton had been a professor, and became a revolt, and laboured with them, and said: good brethren remember your selves, and become new men: for I have been of this fond opinion, &c.

In the end, sentence was given against them, and they committed to the stake: where they did sing the 106. psalm, clapping (as it was thought) certain new Testaments to their breasts, which were thrown into the fire to be burned with them.
