for which after several torments to cause him to confess others, he taking all the blame on himself, they put a hard roll of Linen with a string into his throat, and so often pulled that up, and then cut of his right hand, which he took in his left and kissed, then in the Marketplace they cut off his left hand, and he kneeling down kissed it, then was he carried to Execution, and being hung on high a fire was made under him, and he by degrees let down into it, so that only his legs at first felt the fire, yet would he not recant; and being bid to pray to Saints, he said, That when Christ leaves off to be our Mediator and Advocate, then he would pray to our Lady and the Saints. And then he prayed, ⟨p. 73⟩O Eternal God, Father of all mercies; I beseech thee look down upon thy Servant. And the more terribly he burnt, the more vehemently he prayed; which his Enemies desiring to hinder, he said the 43. Psalm; before the close of which, the Rope was burnt asunder, and he fell down into the Fire, and was burned to death, 1552. whose death was not unpunished, for among the King of Portugal's Ships ready to sail, being in a Haven hard by, one was burnt by a Spark of Fire blown from the Martyrs Fire; and within half a Year the Kings Son dyed; and the King himself within a Year. Vol. 2. p. 745, 746, 747, 748.
