Galeasius Trecius, an Italian, burned at Aus Pompeia in Italy 1551. for professing the Gospel. He having professed it a while, and then by the persuasion of Friends denying it, felt great sorrow, and, as he declared, never greater in all his life; but recovering by the grace of God, he longed for a time to evidence his return by confession of his Faith again, affirming he never felt more joy of heart than when by Papists examined, nor more sorrow than when he recanted, declaring that death was much more sweet to him, with the testimony of the truth, than life with the least denial of the truth and loss of a good conscience: And being imprisoned, he could not be prevailed with to recant, but confirmed his first Faith, and burned. Vol. 2. p. 167, 168.

Franciscus Gamba, an Italian, burned at Comun 1554. being accused for an Heretic, and importuned to recant; he defended his Doctrine by manifest Scriptures, and proved his Opinions to be the true Doctrine of Christ, and rather than he would deny them he was ready to stand to the effusion of his blood: And being long and often assailed by his Friends to recant, he could not be expugned, but gave thanks to God, that he was made worthy to suffer the rebukes of the world, and civil death for the testimony of his Son; and so went cheerfully to death: And when at his death the Friars held a Cross before him, he said that his mind was so replenished with joy and comfort in Christ, that he needed not them, nor their Cross: And declaring many comfortable things to the people, he was strangled and burned. Vol. 2. p. 180.
