Fininus at Ferraria, an Italian, was burnt 1550. who being apprehended, by the persuasion of his Friends he recanted, and then was in so great horror that he almost despaired, till he publicly again preached the Gospel; for which he being again taken, could not by all the solicitations of his Wife ⟨p. 59⟩and Children be drawn from it, but told them that his Lord had commanded him not to deny him for taking care of his Family, wherefore he desired them to depart: And being afterwards commanded by Pope Julius the Third to be executed, he returned thanks to the Messengers of the News, and much rejoiced at it: And being asked what would become of his Wife and Children, if he so left them: he said he had left them to a good Overseer, Christ the Lord, a faithful Keeper of all committed to him. One seeing him so merry before his death, asked the Reason, since Christ wept and sweat drops of blood before his Passion? To whom he answered, Christ sustained in his body all the sorrows and conflicts of Hell and death due to us, by whose death we are delivered from sorrow and fear of them all. And at the Stake, after his Prayers to God, he meekly gave his neck to the Cord, with which he was strangled, and was afterwards burned. Vol. 2. p. 165, 166.
