John Hullier, Fellow of Kings College in Cambridge, was burnt for the Gospel; who being degraded said cheerfully, This is the joyfullest day that ever I saw, and I thank you all that ye have delivered me from all this paltry. He was burned on Jesus Green in Cambridge; he said he dyed in the right Faith, and desired the people to take notice that he dyed in a just cause, and for the testimony of the Truth: And feeling the fire, he called earnestly on God; and many Books being burnt with him, he gat one which was cast into the fire, and fell into his arms, and was a Communion-Book, which he did read in till the flame and smoke hindered him from seeing: And then laying the Book next his heart he prayed again: And when all the people thought he had been dead, he suddenly said, Lord Jesus receive my Spirit, dying very meekly: And after his flesh was burnt his bones stood upright, as if he had been alive. Vol. 3. p. 827, 828.

Thomas Hudson, a Glover, of Ailsham ⟨p. 90⟩in Norfolk, an ignorant person till he learned the English Tongue, about one or two years before the Reign of Queen Mary; and then he detested the Mass and Popish Idolatry, and became a zealous Protestant, reading, praying, singing Psalms; and being sought for, he prayed, if it was Gods will, he might suffer persecution for the Gospel of Christ: and when Persons came to apprehend him, he said, Welcome Friends, welcome; you are they that shall lead me to life in Christ: and so he went with them. And being by Bishop Hopton (then Bishop of Norwich) his Commissary Berry, asked to recant, he said, God forbid, I had rather dye many deaths, than do so. Then was he sent to Norwich to the Bishop, and went as merrily as ever he was; and was burned with two more, May 19. 1555.
