Dirick Carver, a Beer-Brewer in Bright-Hamsted in Sussex, an ancient and pious Man, though not understanding a Letter of the Book, was apprehended for having, with some others, been at Prayer ⟨p. 43⟩in his House; and after his apprehension he so improved his time in Learning, though ancient, that before he suffered, through Gods blessing, he could read any English printed Book. At the Stake in Lewis, July 22. 1555. he went into the Barrel, having stripped himself, and there spake to the People. Dear Brethren and Sisters, witness to you all that I am to seal with my Blood Christs Gospel, because I know it is true; and because I will not deny Gods Gospel, and be obedient to Mens Laws, I here am condemned to dye. Dear Brethren and Sisters, as many as believe on the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost unto everlasting Life, see ye do the works pertaining to the same; I ask ye all, whom I have offended, forgiveness, for the Lords sake, as I heartily forgive all you who have offended me in thought word and deed. Lord have mercy upon me, for unto thee do I commend my Soul, and my Spirit doth rejoice in thee. And so the Fire being kindled, he said, Oh Lord have mercy upon me, and sprang up in the Fire calling on the Name of Jesus, ⟨p. 44⟩and so ended. Vol. 3. p. 386.
