Blandina a Woman, under the Fourth Persecution, was so tormented that the Tormentors for weariness gave her over, admiring at her strength and courage, who became stronger and stronger; and as oft as she spake these words, I am a Christian, neither have we done any evil, it was a marvellous comfort, and emboldened her to abide the Torments. Vol. 1. p. 60. She afterwards was fastened to a Stake, and cast to ravening Beasts, but no Beast would come near her; so the Persecutors took her ⟨p. 18⟩down, and laid her in Prison till another time.

Vol. 1. p. 62, 63.
