Augustinus a Barber, about Hennegow in Germany, being an embracer of the Gospel, yet naturally so timorous that he fled twice when he was sought for, was so bold when he was apprehended that he confounded all Opposers: And being desired to pity his Soul and recant, he said he evidenced his pity to his Soul in giving his Body rather ⟨p. 6⟩to be burned, than to do any thing contrary to his Conscience. And being set at the Stake, and the Fire kindled, he heartily prayed unto the Lord, and patiently departed, 1549. Vol. 2. pag. 124.

Aymond de Lavoy at Bordeaux in France, a Preacher of the Gospel, being persecuted and sent for; his People and Friends persuaded him to fly; to whom he said, He had rather never have been born than so to do; it was the Office of a good Shepherd not to fly in time of danger, but rather to abide the peril lest the Flock be scattered; or lest some scruple might by his flight be left in their minds, that he had fed them with Dreams and Fables, contrary to Gods Word; wherefore beseeching them to move him no more therein, he told them he feared not to yield up both Body and Soul in the quarrel of the truth which he had taught, saying He was ready, with S. Paul, Acts 21. not only to be bound, but also to dye for the Testimony of Christ. ⟨p. 7⟩
