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.
