I pray thee, said he, therefore good Elizabeth, continue as thou hast begun, and bring up thy children virtuously & in the fear of God, & so the next day on Whitsunday even, this godly Martyr was burned. Stan ding at the stake this prayer he made holding up his hands, O Lord I yield me to thy grace, Grant me mercy for my trespass, Let never the fiend my soul chase, Lord I will bow, and thou shalt beat, Let never my soul come in hell heat. Into thy hands I commend my spirit, thou hast redeemed me O Lord of truth, and so he ended.
