Ex Crisp. & Adrian. | Michael Michelote, a Taylor. An. 1547. | This Taylor being apprehended for the gospels sake,1 was judged first if he would turn, to be beheaded: and if he would not turn, then to be burned alive. Who being asked whether of these two he would choose, answered, that he trusted that he which hath given him grace not to deny the truth would also give him patience to abide the fire. He was burned at Werden by Turney. Two false brethren. | Leonardus de Prato. An. 1547. | This Leonard going from Dijon, to Bar,2 a town in Burgundy, with two false brethren, and talking with them about religion, was bewrayed of them, and afterward burned. | John Taffingnon. 3Joan his wife. Simon Mareschall. Joan his wife. W. Michant. James Boulerau. James Bretany. An. 1547. | Al these 7. being of the City of Langres, for the word and truth of Christ Jesus, were committed to the fire wherein they dyed with much strength & comfort. But especially Joanne, which was Simons wife, being reserved to the last place because she was the youngest, confirmed her husband and all the other, with words of singular consolation, declaring to her husband, that they should the same day, be married to the Lord Jesus, to live with him for ever. Ex. Pantal. Crisp. & alijs. The Senate of paris. | Mischaell. Ma•eschall. Joh. Cam. Great John Camus. John Serarphin.

An. 1548. | This Octovien, as he was a great occupier in all fairs & countries of France,4 and well known, both in Court, & else where: so was he a singular honest man, of great integrity, and also a favourer of Gods word Who being at his hosts house in Lyons, rebuked the filthy talk and superstitious behaviour, which there he heard & saw. Wherefore the host bearing to him a grudge, chanced to have certain talk with Gabriel of Sacconex Presenteur concerning the riches, and a sumptuous collar set with rich jewels, of this Octovien.
