And the People of Hadly stood in the streets weeping and praying for him, saying; ⟨p. 182⟩There goes our good Shepherd; Oh God! what will become of us poor Lambs: To whom the Dr. all along said, I have preached among you God's truth, and am now come to seal it with my blood. And at the Alms-house he gave them all the Money he had: His care was once a fortnight to visit with the Gentry the poor Inhabitants, and whom he found to blame he rebuked, whom he found to want he supplied. At last coming to Aldam Common, (the place of his suffering) he would have spoke, but was not permitted; only he said to the People, He had preached and was now to seal the truth of the Gospel with his blood, for which saying he was struck. And being tied fast to the Stake in a pitch-barrel, he held up his hands, saying, Merciful Father of Heaven, for Jesus Christ's sake my Saviour, receive my Soul into thy hands: And so he stood with his hands joined until one with a Halberd knocked his brains out, and the dead Corps fell down into the fire. Vol, 3. p. 176, 177, 178.
