The 7. of May were burned at Bristow, (being condemned by M. Dalbney the Chancellor:) Richard Sharp Weaver of Bristow, and Thomas Hall 1Shoemaker of the same town. Sharpe 2by the persuasion of the Chancellor, had recanted, and afterward felt such anguish of mind and conscience, that shortly after coming to his parish Church, called Temple, he came to the quire door, and said with a loud voice: Neighbours, bear me record, that yonder Idol (pointing to the altar) is the greatest and most abominable that ever was: and I am sorry that ever I denied the Lord my God. Whereupon he was apprehended, and burned with the other at one stake: which they cheerfully suffered, embracing the flame.
