Robert Samuel, a Suffolk Minister, was imprisoned by Dr. Hopton Bishop of Norwich, and kept sadly, being chained bolt upright, so that he stood on tip-toes day and night, and was kept without meat and drink, save only three mouthfuls of bread and three spoonfuls of water a day: And at last being to be burned he said to his Friends, That when he was imprisoned and almost pined away 2 or 3 days together, he fell into a slumber, and one clad in white seemed to stand by him, and comforting him, said; Samuel, Samuel, be of good cheer, and take a good heart to thee, for after this day thou shalt never hunger nor thirst more. Which thing was effected, for from that time to his sufferings, he felt neither hunger nor thirst; and it is said that his Body when it was in the fire, shone as bright and white as new tried Silver. Vol. 3. p. 414, 415.
