The accusers appear not in the story. | 1Phillip Cene. James his fellow. At Dijon. An. 1557. | This Phillip Cene was an Apothecary at Geneva. He was taken at Dijon, & there imprisoned, and in the same town of Dijon, he with one James his companion, was burned. As this Phillip went to his death singing psalms, the Fryer standing by, stopped his mouth with his hand. The most part of the people wept bitterly, saying, be of good courage brethren, be not afraid of this death. Which when one of the adversary part heard, he said to one of the magistrates. Do you not see how almost half part of the people is of their side, and doth comfort them? Ex Joan Crisp. lib. 6. | Archambant Seraphon. M. Nicolas du Russeau. At Dijon. Ann. 1557. | These two were in prison together with Phillip,2 and James abovesaid, at Dijon Archambant going about with a packet of pedlery ware, to get his living and coming towards his wife, heard of certain prisoners at Dijon, to whom he wrote to comfort them with his letters. The next day after he was searched at Aussone, and letters of certain scholars of Paris found about him: then he was brought to Dijon, where he with the other called M. du Rousseau, constantly suffered. The same Archambant had been also condemned three years before at Tule, and as he was led to Bordeaux, he escaped. Ex eius Epist. ad uxorem, apud Crisp. lib. 6. The kings Attorney of Saints Vile. | Philbert Hamlin. At Bordeaux. Ann. 1557. | Philbert Hamlin first was a priest, then he went to Geneva, where he exercised printing,3 and sent books abroad. After that he was made a minister at the town of Allenart in Saintonge: In which and in other places moe, he did much good in edifying the people. At last he was apprehended at Saints Vile, and with him his host, a priest, whom he had instructed in the gospel, and after confession made of his faith, he with the said priest was carried to Bordeaux before the President. As he was in prison on a sunday, a priest came in with all his furniture, to say mass in the prison: whom Philbert seeing to be revested, came & plucked his garments from his back with such zeal and vehemency, that the mass garments, with the chalice & candlesticks fell down, and were broken, saying: Is it not enough for you to blaspheme God in churches, but you must also pollute the prison with your Idolatry?
