John Philpot, a Knights Son of Hampshire, brought up at Oxford; a great Scholar, and a zealous Preacher, who in King Edward the 6th's days was Arch-Deacon of Winchester; and in Queen Mary's days, with a few others, opposed Popery, and stood in the vindication of the Gospel in the Convocation-house at London, against all the other Prelates called by the Queen to determine of Religion. Vol. 3. p. 538. being apprehended and examined by Bishop Bonner, and told that the next day he should be judged, he said, I am glad hereof, I look for no other but death at your hands, and I am as ready to yield my life in Christ's Cause as you are to require it. p. 547. And being in discourse with Dr. Story, he said, I am sure I have the Judge on my side, who shall justify me in another World; and however you now unrighteously do judge me, yet sure I am, in another World, to judge you: And after, when Dr. Story hastened ⟨p. 131⟩his death, and said to Philpot, he came to hasten it; which he came to tell him, he said, that he might thank no body else for it: To whom Philpot answered, I thank you with all my heart, and I pray God forgive you.

In the morning, coming to Smithfield where he was burnt, he kneeled down at the entrance into it, and said, I will pay my Vows in thee, O Smithfield! and then coming to the Stake he kissed it, saying▪ Shall I disdain ⟨p. 132⟩to suffer at the Stake, seeing my Redeemer did not refuse to suffer on his Cross for me: and then he said the 106, 107, 108. Psalms; and was burnt December 18. 1555. His Letters were many and pious, comforting the penitent Sinners: From,
