and when he saw him dead he bowed down into the flame, & so expired. Ex Crisp. & alijs. | Hugonius Gravier, a Schoolmaster and minister after of Cortillon, in the County of Newcastle. At Burge. An. 1552. | At Burge in Bresse, a days journey from Lyons,1 this Gravier was burned. He coming from Geneva to Newcastle, there was elected to be Minister. But first he going to see his wives friends at Mascon, there as he was coming away out of the town, was taken upon the Bridge, with all his company: and in the end, he willing the women and rest of the company to lay the fault in him for bringing them out, was sentenced to be burnt, notwithstanding the Lords of Berne sent their Heralds to save his life, & also that the Official declared him to be an honest man, & to hold nothing, but agreeing to the scriptures. Ex Joan Crisp. lib. 3. Tignacius the governor or deputy of Lyons. Buatherius, Official to the Archb. of Lyons. Clepierius Chamberlain. Three orders of Friars. Judge Melierus, Doct. Cunubanus, a grey friar. Judge Vilard. Primatius, Official. Cortrerius Judge, | Martial Alba. Petrus Scriba. Bernard Seguine. Charles Faber Peter Navihere. At Lyons. An. 1553. | These 5. Students,2 after they head remained in the University of Lausanna a certain time,3 consulted among themselves, being all French men to return home every one to his country, to the intent they might instruct their parents & other their friends in such knowledge as the Lord had given them. So taking their journey from Lausanna,4 first they came to Geneva, where they remained a while. From thence they went to Lyons. Where they sitting at the table of one that met them by the way, and desired them home to his house, were apprehended and led to prison: where they continued a whole year, that is, from the first day of May, to the 16. of the said month again. As they were learned and well exercised in the scriptures: so every one of them exhibited severally a learned confession of his faith, and with great dexterity, through the power of the Lords spirit, they confounded the Friars, with whom they disputed: especially Peter Scribe or Scrivener, and Seguine. They were examined sonderly of the Sacrament of the Lords body, of Purgatory, of confession, and Invocation, of freewill, and of the supremacy. &c.
