Wolfgangus Schuch, a German, at St. Hyppolite 1525. a Town in Lotharing; a Reverend and godly Pastor, there preached ⟨p. 154⟩he Justification through Christ by Faith. He was apprehended willingly, offering himself to Trial by Scripture, rather than to see the Town of St. Hyppolite be exposed to the danger threatened to it by Anthony Duke of Lorraine for his sake; and being apprehended, he was imprisoned in sad misery a year, where disputing with divers Friars he confounded them all by Scripture. At last he was condemned to be burnt; at which Sentence he sang, and being at the place of Execution, he sang the 51. Psalm till smoke and fire choked him. Vol. 2. pag. 112.

He was apprehended willingly, offering himself to Tryal by Scripture, rather than to see the Town of St. Hyppolite be exposed to the danger threatn'd to it by Anthony Duke of Lorrain for his sake; and being apprehended, he was imprisoned in sad misery a year, where disputing with divers Friars he confounded them all by Scripture. At last he was condemned to be burnt; at which Sentence he sang, and being at the place of Execution, he sang the 51. Psalm till smoke and fire choak'd him. Vol. 2. pag. 112.
George Scherler, a German Preacher near Salzburg, was taken and imprisoned and condemned to be burnt alive; but at last it was granted he should be first beheaded. He going to his death, said, That ye may know that I die a true Christian, I will give you a manifest sign: Which he did by God's power; for after his head was off his body, falling on his belly, and so lying a good while, it easily turned it self on the back, and crossed ⟨p. 155⟩the right foot over the left, and the right hand over the left; at which sight the Spectators marvelled, and the Magistrates burned not but buried the Body amongst the Christians; and many were hereby brought to believe the Gospel. Vol. 2. p. 117.
