Richard Hunn burned in Smithfield, December 20. 1514. sixteen days after he was privately Murdered by the Papists. Vol. 2. p. 19.
Mr. Hierom was condemned in King Henry the 8th's time, 1541. by Bishop Gardner, Bishop of Winchester; and at the Stake he confessed his Faith, and exhorted all Persons to Duties to God and Man, considering what Price Christ paid for us; and exciting them to bear their Cross with Christ, considering his Example of Patience under sufferings; and at last prayed them to pray for him, that he, Barns, and Garret, who were all three together burnt, might have their Souls, leaving these wretched Bodies, constantly depart in ⟨p. 78⟩the true Faith of Christ; and so, committing his Soul to Christ, he dyed.

He was, by King Edward the 6th, made Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester; in both which Dioceses he preached at, and visited them: and, at Worcester, his manner was every day to have a certain number of poor Beggars of the Town Dine in his Palace with whole and wholesome Meat, four at a Mess; whom he examined, or caused to be examined, in the Lords Prayer, Creed, and Ten Commandments, before himself sate down to Dinner. He was with one John Rogers the two first that were condemned in Queen Mary's days: To which Rogers Bishop Hooper said, Brother Rogers, Must we two begin first to fry these Faggots? fear not but God will give us strength. He suffered amongst his People, at Gloucester; where Sir Anthony Kingston, his old Friend, did desire him to accept of life, and not dye; saying, life is sweet, and death bitter: To whom Bishop Hooper answered, True, but eternal death is
