Ex Joan Crisp. | Anne Audebert, an Apothecaries wife and widow. At Orleans. An. 1549. | She going to Geneva was taken & brought to Paris,1 and by the Counsel there, judged to be burned at Orleans. When the rope was put about her, she called it her wedding girdle, wherewith she should be married to Christ. And as she should be burned upon a saturday, upon Michaelmas even: upon a saturday, said she, I was first married, and upon a Saturday I shall be married again. And seeing the dung cart brought wherein she should be carried, she rejoiced thereat, showing such constancy in her martyrdom, as made all the beholders to maruell. Ex. Joan. Crisp. Henry. 2.

His name is not yet sought out in yt french stories for lack of diligence in those writers, more is the pity. The story is this. Not long after the coronation of Henry ii. the French king, at whose coming into Paris divers good Martyrs were there brought out, and burned for a spectacle: as is above said: a certain poor Taylor, who then dwelt not far from the kings Palace, in the street bearing the name of S. Antony, was apprehended of a certain officer in the kings house, for that, upon a certain holy day, he followed his occupation, and did work for his living. Before he was had to prison, the officer asked him, why he did labour and work, giving no observation of the holy day. To whom he answered, that he was a poor man living only upon his labour: and as for the day, he knew no other, but only the Sunday, wherein he might not lawfully work, for the necessity of his living.3
