The same month of July suffered at Newbury 3. godly and constant martyrs of Christ, Julius Palmer, John Guin, Thomas Askine. 1Julius Palmer was sometime a Student and fellow of Magdalen College in Oxford, and afterward Schoolmaster in the Town of Reading. He was borne in Coventry, and before his calling to the knowledge of the trueth, a great adversary to the Gospel, and a contemner of the ministers of the trueth. In so much as he was expelled his College in the end of king Edwards days, for popery.2 So that for his maintenance, he was fain to apply himself to teach children in the house of Sir Francis Knolls. In which trade he continued till the coming of Q. Mary. In whose days he was restored again to his place by her Visitors. Where being placed a while, and understanding the cruel dealing of the Papists against the servants of God: and seeing their constancy: in the hearing of divers of his friends, he burst out into these words, or such like: Oh raging cruelty, O tyranny tragical, and more then barbarous.
