Then she coming to him, and finding him in the stocks appointed to be burned the next morrow,1 sat by him all the night long. To whom then he declared the whole story or rather tragedy how he was handled and how his feet were burned to the bones, that he could not set them upon the ground, by the two Bishops aforesaid (he thanked God therefore) and all to make me (said he) to deny my Lord, which I will never do, for if I should deny him said he in this world he would deny me hereafter. And therefore I pray thee (said he) good Elizabeth, continue as thou hast begun, & bring up thy children virtuously in the fear of God.
