These two were not long together, but they were suspected both of Lutheranism: and so were apprehended by the governor of the Marches, or Marshall, and so were carried to Chartres: where after the constant confession upon their examination made, they were enclosed in prison, and there sustained long & tedious endurance. During the which mean time, Steven king made many worthy songs and sonnets in the praise of the Lord, whereby to recreate his spirit in that doleful captivity. At length, when after long persuasions & fair promises of the Bishop and of other, they could not be revoked from the doctrine of their confession, they were condemned. From that condemnation, they appealed to the Court of Paris. But the Council there confirming their former sentence, returned them again to Chartres, from whence they came, where they were both executed with cruel punishment of fire. Ex hist. Gallic. per Joan Crisp. Priests of Burges. | Antonius Magnus, or Magnaeus. At Paris. An. 1554. | Antonius Magne, was sent by the five which were in prison, at Lyons, above mentioned, and by other also that were in captivity at Paris, unto Geneva to commend them to their prayers unto GOD, for them. Who after certain business there ⟨p. 910⟩dispatched, returned again into France, & there within 3. hours of his coming was betrayed and taken by certain Priests at Burges and there delivered by the said priests unto the Official. After a few days the kings Justices took him from the Official, and sent him to Paris, where after great rebukes and torments, he suffered in the prison, and firmly persisting in the profession of the trueth, by their capital sentence was adjudged to have his tongue cut out, & so was burned at Mulbert place in Paris. Ex Joan. Crisp. False brethren. | William Alē con bookseller.1 2A certain shearman. At Montpellier. An. 1554. | This Alencon did much good in the provinces of France, by carrying books. Coming to Montpellier he was there circumvented by false brethren detected, and laid in prison. In his faith he was firm and constant to the end of his Martyrdom, being burned the 7. of January. 1554. There was the same time at Montpellier a certain shearman or clothworker, who had been long in duraunce for religion, but at length for fear, and infirmity, he revolted.
