Agnes Bongeor, one of 10 Prisoners at Colchester, who with another Woman, one Margaret Thurston, was not executed with the other 8, because of the mistake of her name in the Writ, being there written Bowyer instead of Bongeor; which mistake caused much sorrow to the poor woman, who was thereupon dejected, even almost to despair, because she was left and the rest taken and burnt, as if God did not think her worthy of that honour; in order to the receiving of which, she had disposed of a sucking Child that morning to another Nurse, and had habited her self fit for the fire: But at last with much endeavours she was comforted, by a Friend's proposing the instance of Abraham, whose will in offering his Son was by God accepted, as if Isaac had been sacrificed; and so her desire to have offered up her ⟨p. 33⟩self, had God pleased; and also the real offer of her Child, disposed of already to another Nurse, in order to her self being burnt, might be acceptable before God. And she being thus comforted in due time, September 17. 1557. was also with the said Margaret Thurston burnt at Colchester. Vol. 3. p. 849, 850.
Bergerius, being imprisoned for the Gospel's sake, met there with one John Chambon a Thief, imprisoned also at Lions in France 1553. which Chambon was almost famished for want of food, eating only such things as Horses and Dogs refused, and was also almost devoured of Lice, insomuch that he cried out against God, and cursed his Parents that bare him, till by the Prayers and endeavours of this Bergerius he was converted; and he declared to divers persons by Letters, that his Lice left him the next day after his Conversion, so that he had not one; and he was sufficiently provided for by the Alms of persons, so that he fared very well. Vol. 2. p. 140, 141.
