Afterward returning from Busque, toward Angroigne, to preach, as he had used before to do, sent by the ministers of Geneva, and other faithful brethren: was apprehended in the town of Barges, & brought before the kings Lieutenant: Where he was questioned with, touching divers Articles of religion: as of justification, works of supererogation, freewill, predestination, confession, satisfaction, indulgences, images, purgatory, the pope. &c. Whereunto he answered again in writing, with such learning and reason, alleging against the popes own distinctions, namely, Distinct 19. cap. Dominus. Distinct. 21. cap. In nono. Dist. 21. cap. omnes. & cap. Sacrosancta, that as the story reporteth, the court of Turin marvelling at his learning condemned him more for reproach of shame, then upon true opinion grounded of judgement. When he was brought to the place of execution, the people which stood by, and heard him speak, declared openly that they saw no cause, why he should dye. A certain old companion of his, a priest, calling him by his name M, Geffrey, desired him to convert from his opinions. To whom he patiently answered again, desiring him, that he would convert from his condition. And thus after he had made his prayer unto God, and had forgiven his Executioner, and all his enemies, he was first strangled, and then burned.1 In the foresaid story, relation is made moreover, concerning the said Geffrey, that at the time of his burning, a dove was seen (as was credibly reported of many) flying & fluttering divers times about the fire, testifying (as was thought) the innocency of this holy martyr of the Lord.
