Rose Allen of much Bentley in Essex, being fetching drink for her sick Mother, in a morning with a light Candle, who was also with her self and Father apprehended by Edmond Tyrrel Esq to be all three carried to Colchester Goal for the Gospel, who persuaded this Rose Allen to counsel her Parents well; who said, They had a better Counsellor than she, to wit, the Holy Ghost, who I trust will not suffer them to err. And being for this accused of Heresy by him, she said, With that which you call Heresy I worship my Lord God: To whom he then said, I perceive you will also burn for company's sake: And she answered, Not for company's sake, but for Christ's sake; and if he call me to it, I hope in his mercy he will enable me to bear it. So Tyrrel took her Candle and held it to her hand, burning it crossways the back of it, till the sinews cracked asunder; and asked her often during that tyranny, What you Whore will you not cry? To whom she ⟨p. 13⟩said, she had no cause to weep, if he considered it well he had more cause to weep, for she had none she thanked God, but rather had cause to rejoice; and she said, that though at first burning it was some grief to her, yet the longer it burnt the lesser she felt, or well near no pain at all. Vol. 3. p. 830.
