William Tracy of Todington in Gloucestershire Esq 1532. in his Will and Testament ordained his Executors not to make any funeral pomp at his Burial, neither passed he for any Mass, saying, He trusted only in God, and hoped by him to be saved, and not by any Saint. He said there was but one Mediator between God and Man, Christ Jesus; and therefore he gave nothing that any should say or do any thing to help his Soul after his death; for which Will he was near two years after his death taken up and burnt as an Heretic, by the Archbishop of Canterbury's order to Dr. Parker Chancellor in Worcester Diocese, whom King Henry VIII. made it cost 300 pound. Vol. 2. p. 317, 318.

And after he translating 5 Books of Moses, intending to print at Antwerp, to which place he sailing did suffer shipwreck, and lost all his labour; but he lodged at Antwerp, and with the help of one Coverdale performed the five Books, and printed them; and residing there he was basely betrayed by one Henry Philips an English-man, whom he had received lately as an intimate Acquaintance: And being so persecuted that though many Letters were for his delivering, he was executed; who in Prison converted the Keeper, his Daughter, and others. By the testimony of his condemner, he was a learned pious good Man, who died with this earnest prayer, Lord, open the King of England's eyes. He was martyred at Filford Castle in
