¶The story of a christian Jew in Constantinople martyred by the Turks.
¶The story of a christian Iew in Constantinople martyred by the Turkes.
1Persecutors. | Martyrs. | The causes. The Turks of Constantinople. A Jew christened and Martyred. At Constantinople. An. 1528. TO these foreign Martyrs aforesaid we will also adjoin the History of a certain Jew, who in the year of our Lord 1528. dwelling in the City of Constantinople, and there receiving the sacrament of Baptism, was converted, and became a good Christian. When the Turks understood hereof, 2they were vehemently exasperated against him, that he forsaking his Jewishness, should be regenerate to the faith of Christ: and fearing least his conversion should be a detriment to their Mahometicall law, they sought means how to put him to death, which in short time after they accomplished. And for the greater infamy to be done unto the man, they cast his dead corps into the streets, commanding that no man should be so hardy as to bury the same.3
