Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

One George Constantine was apprehended by Sir Thomas Moore L. Chancellor of England for heresy. My Lord asked him who it was that maintained Tyndale Joy, and a great many more of you? I know they cannot live without help; and thou being one haddest thy part thereof: I pray tell me who helpeth them thus▪ My Lord, quoth Constantine, I will tell you truly: It is the Bishop of London; for he hash bestowed amongst us a great deal of money upon New Testaments to burn them, which hath bin, and yet is, our only succour. By my troth, quoth Moore, I think the same: I told the Bishop so much before.

The Townes of Zurick and Bern being at contention with the Townes of the Cantons, stopped all the Straits that there could no victuals pass unto them; wherefore they provided a power to come against them of Bern and Zurick, and fought a great conflict with them: in which fight Swinglius, being Minister of Zurick, was slain, and after his dead corps taken by his enemies and burned: when his body was burned to ashes, his heart was found in the midst of the fire whole, which could not be without the great miracle of God. The like happened after to Thomas Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury.
