The Inquisitor Jacomel, with his Monks, and the Collateral Corbis, amongest other, showed one practise of most barbarous cruelty against this poor man. Who when he should be burnt,1 caused two poor women of S. German (which they kept in prison) to carry fagots to the fire, and to speak these words to their Pastor: take this, thou wicked heretic, in recompense of thy naughty doctrine, which thou hast taught us. To whom the good Minister answered: Ah good women, I have taught you well, but you have learned ill. To be brief, they so afflicted and tormented those poor people of Saint German, and the places thereabout, that after they were spoiled of their goods, and driven from their houses, they were compelled to fly into the mountain to save their lives. So great was the spoil of this poor people, that many which before had been men of much wealth, and with their riches had ministered great succour and comfort to others, were now brought to such misery, that they were compelled to crave succour and relief of other.
