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. And being bound with them to the Stake by a Chain, he not feeling the joys of Christ, came from under the Chain, being troubled in mind, and fell down and prayed earnestly to God, who hearing him, and restoring to him comfort, ⟨p. 91⟩he arose and went to the Stake again, saying, Now I am strong, and pass not what Men can do unto me. Vol. 3. p. 869, 870.
