Anthony Persons, a great Preacher of the Gospel in King Henry the 8th's days, 1544. and was, by Dr. London, condemned; who answering to his Indictment, ⟨p. 129⟩said, So long as I Preached up the Pope and his superstition, so long ye favoured me; but since I took on me to Preach Christ, ye have always sought my life; but it makes no matter, for when ye have taken your pleasure on my Body, I trust it shall not be in your power to hurt my Soul. He, with one Testwood, and Filmer, were condemned to suffer: and the night before they suffered they spent almost wholly in Prayers for strength under the Cross, and comforting one another that their Master Christ who had led the way before them, and had so far made them worthy to suffer for his sake, would give them steadfast faith and power to overcome these fiery torments; and of his free mercy, for his Promise sake, receive their Souls. Praying that God would forgive their Enemies and turn their hearts, which out of blindness and ignorance had done they knew not what. This Persons afterwards coming to the Stake, did embrace it, saying, Now welcome mine own sweet Wife; for this day shall thou ⟨p. 130⟩and I be Married together in the love and peace of God. Vol. 2. p. 152, 153, 154.
