EDWARD FRESE.

Edward Frese, a Painter, was hired to paint certain clothes for the new Inn in Colchester, and in the upper boarder of the clothes, he wrote certain sentences of the Scripture: then some of the Town which had seen his work, apprehended him, and brought him to London to the Bishop, where he was cruelly imprisoned, with others of Essex. One Johnson and his wife, and one Willy, his wife, and his son, and one Father Bate of Rowshedge, & they were fed with fine Manchet, made of sawdust, or the most part thereof: the said Frese being at the Bishops at Fulham, his wife being desirous to see him, came to the gate being big with Child, the Porter kicked her on the belly, that on the same she died, and the child died immediately: after for writing against the wall, his hands were manacled, that the flesh of his arms were higher then the Irons: and they kept him three days without meat, when he should come to his answer, he could say nothing, but looked on the people like a wild man, and if they asked him any question, he could say nothing, but my Lord is a good man: an• when they had spent his body and wits, they sent him to Bearsie-Abby, but he would not tarry there, but he never came to his wits again, until his death: And his brother Valentine Frese was burned for the testimony of Christ in York.
