Ammonarion, an holy Virgin, told ⟨p. 3⟩the persecuting Judge, That for no Punishment she would yield to his request; and constantly she performed her words, under very severe Torments, and was at last slain with a Sword. Vol. 1. pag. 80, 81.
Alban the first English Martyr, under the Tenth Persecution, did receive a Clerk into his House, flying for Religion, by whose Precepts and Precedents he of a Pagan became a Christian; and when the Emperor sent to apprehend the Clerk, Alban put on the Clerks Habits, and offered himself to the Soldiers as the Clerk, and so was had away; and being commanded on pain of death, by the Emperor, to sacrifice to Idols, he said, I am a Christian, and worship the true and living God, who created all the World; and the Sacrifices offered to Devils can neither help them that offer them, nor can they accomplish the desires of their Supplicants; but they whoever they be that offer Sacrifice to Devils, shall receive everlasting pains of Hell for their portion. Whereupon he was cruelly ⟨p. 4⟩beaten, and at last beheaded. Vol. 1. pag. 115.
