When she was at the stake, (because she was not acquainted with the fresh air, coming out of a close prison) one of her friends had provided her drink. Now when she had prayed three times, in the which she desired God to abolish the idolatrous Mass, whereto all the people and the Sheriff himself said, Amen: She took the cup into her hands, saying:1 I drink to all those that unfeignedly love the gospel of Jesus Christ, and wish for the abolishing of the papistry.
