And being commanded to come down, one of the Bishops took away the Chalice from him, saying; O cursed Judas! why hast thou forsaken the way of peace, and counselled with the Jews? we take from thee this Chalice of salvation? He answered, I trust in my Lord Jesus, for whose sake I suffer these things, that he will not take away his Chalice of Redemption, but have a steadfast hope this day I shall drink thereof in his Kingdom: then each of the Bishops took away a vestiment, and gave him a curse; He answered, he willingly embraced their curses for the Name of Christ. When they should raze off his shaving, they could not agree with what Instrument they should do it, then he turning to the Emperor, said; I marvel being they are of like cruelty, they agree not in their kind of cruelty: At length they agreed, to cut off the skin of the crown of his head with a pair of Shears: Then they said; Now hath the Church taken away all her Ornaments, then they made a Crown of Paper, a cubit deep, in which were painted three ugly Devils, and this Title set over, Heresiarcha; He said, Christ for my sake ware a Crown of Thorns, why should not • wear this light Crown for his sake, be it never so ignominious? I will do it willingly, the Bishops when they had put it on, said: Now we commit you to the Devil; but he said, Lord Jesus, into thy hands I commit my Spirit which thou hast redeemed: then they delivered him to the Emperor, who caused one to receive him, and deliver him to b•e burned. When he saw his Books burned before his face, he smiled, he exhorted all that were by, that he died not for Heresy, but for the hatred of his Adversaries: almost all the City followed him in Armour. In his Prayers he often repeated; into thy hands I commit my Spirit, the standers by said, what this man hath done we know not, but he prayeth very devoutly and godly.
