¶The burnyng of one Peke at Ipswich.
IN the burning of an other Suffolk man,1 named N. Peke dwelling sometime at Earlestonh•, and burnt at Ipswich, somewhat before the burning of these aforesaid thus I find it recorded and testified: That when as he being fast bound to a stake, and Furze set on fire round about him, was so scorched, that he was as black as soot, one Doctor Reading there standing before him, with Doctor Heir and Doct. Springwell, having a long white, wand in his hand, did knock him upon the right shoulder, ⟨p. 1132⟩and said, Peke, recant, and believe that the Sacrament of the altar, is the very body of Christ, flesh, blood, and bone, after that the Priest hath spoken the words of Consecration over it, and here have I in my hand to absolve thee for thy misbelief that hath ben in thee, having a scroll of paper in his hand. When he had spoken these words, Peke answered, and said, I defy it and thee also, & with a great violence he spit from him very blood, which came by reason that his veins brake in his body for extreme anguish. And when the said Peke had so spoken, then D. Reading said: To as many as shall cast a stick to the burning of this heretic,2 is granted forty days of pardon by my Lord Bishop of Norwich. Then Barne Curson, Sir John Audley Knight, with many others of estimation being there present, did rise from their seats, and with their swords did cut down boughs, and throw them into the fire, and so did all the multitude of the people.
