Joan Boughton, Mother to the Lady Young, was burned April 28. 1494. (and in the ninth year of King Hen. 7. King ⟨p. 19⟩of England) in Smithfield, for holding of Wycliffe's Opinions, from which all the Doctors in London could not turn her: And being told that she should be burnt, she defied them, saying, She was so beloved of God and his holy Angels, that she passed not for the fire; and in the midst of it she cried to God to take her Soul into his holy hands. Vol. 1. p. 956.
Ioane Boughton, Mother to the Lady Young, was burned April 28. 1494. (and in the ninth year of King Hen. 7. King ⟨p. 19⟩of England) in Smithfield, for holding of Wickliffe's Opinions, from which all the Doctors in London could not turn her: And being told that she should be burnt, she defied them, saying, She was so beloved of God and his holy Angels, that she passed not for the fire; and in the midst of it she cryed to God to take her Soul into his holy hands.

John Brown of Ashford was burned 1517. at Ashford, being taken away by force from his own House, the same day his Wife was Churched, and he was carried to Prison at Canterbury, for no Crime but for asking a Mass-Priest, where the Soul was when he began Mass and when he had done Mass? who answering he knew not; John Brown asked him then, how he could save the Soul? For which he was continued in Prison from Low-Sunday till Friday before Whitsuntide, his Wife not knowing where he was all this time; till the night before he was burned being set in the Stocks at Ashford, she came and sat ⟨p. 20⟩up by him, to whom he declared the whole passage, and said that the Bishops, Warham and Fisher, heated his Feet on the Coals, and burned them to the bones, to make him deny his Lord; which I will never do, added he, for if I should deny him in this world, he would deny me hereafter. I pray thee, said he further, good Elizabeth, continue as thou hast begun, and bring up thy Children virtuously in the fear of God. And the next day being Whitsunday-Eve this godly Martyr was burned; standing at the Stake he thus prayed, holding up his hands, O Lord I yield me to thy grace, Grant me mercy for my trespass, Let never the Fiend my Soul chase: Lord I will bow, and thou shalt beat, Let never my Soul come in Hell heat. Into thy hands I commend my Spirit, for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord of truth. And so he ended. Vol. 2. p. 13.
