The same year, 1557. 1the xij. of April, suffered v. godly Martyrs in smithfield: Thomas Losebie, Henry Ramsey, Thomas Thyrtel, Margaret Hyde, and Agnes Stanley. The vij. of January they were examined by Darbishire then Chancellor to Boner. Who dealt so with them, that they were dismissed for that time: but the B. taking the matter into his hands, the vi. of March, dealt more hardly with them. And again, the first day of April convented them: and finding them constant in the truth, neither to be moved by his threats, nor allurements, proceeded to their condemnation. The afternoon, the B. first called for Loseby (who when in reading of his articles) mention was made of the Sacrament of the altar) the Bishop putting off his cap,2 & his fellows, said: My Lord, seeing you put off your cap, I will put on mine, and therewithal did put on his cap. So sentence was pronounced upon him, and the rest severally. Who courageously, and constantly defied to the bishops face, their Popish Idolatry and superstition. And so were they delivered to the Sheriffs of London: who the xij. day of April brought them into Smithfield. Where all together in one fire joyfully they slept in the Lord.
