And though great labour & intercession was made for him: yet all would not help. For when the Emperor sent him away, then Mary the Emperors sister took him by the way, finding cavillations against him: whereby he was again committed to the hands of Spaniards, till at length, through the disposing of Gods mercy first the Duke of Saxony, and then 6. days after the Landgrave also, were both freed out of long captivity, & sent home. Ex Comment. Sled. lib. 19.24. Charles. Emperor. | Hermannus Archbishop of Colen.1 An. 1547. | With these holy Martyrs above recited, may also be numbered Hermannus archbysh. of Colen. Who a little before the Emperor had war against the Protestants, had reformed his Church from certain papistical superstitions, using therein the aid and advise of Martin Bucer. Wherefore Charles the Emperor sent word to Colen, that he should be deposed, which he patiently did suffer. In his room was set Adolphus Earle of Schaunenburge. Ex Sled. lib. 18. The President or Major of Dornic. | M. Nicholas Frenchman.2 Marion wife of Augustinus An. 1549. | M. Nicholas and Barbara his Wife: also Augustinus a Barber, and Marion his Wife borne about Hennegow, after they had been at Geneva a space, came into Germany, thinking that way to pass over into England. By the way coming to Hē negow, Augustine desired M, Nicholas (because he was learned) to come to Bergis to visit and comfort certain brethren there, which he willingly did. From thence passing by Dornic (or Tornay) they held on their journey toward England. But in the way Austen and his wife being known, were detected to the Lieutenant of Dornic, who in all speedy hast following after them, overtook them 4. miles beyond Donic, Augustine (how I can not tell) escaped that time out of their hands, and could not be found. The soldiers then laying hands upon Nicholas and the 2. women, brought them back again to Dornic. In returning by the way, when M. Nicholas at the table gave thanks (as the manner is of the faithful) the wicked Ruler scorning them, and swearing like a tyrant, said: Now let us see, thou lewd heretic, whether thy God can deliver thee out of my hand.
And though great labour & intercession was made for him: yet al would not helpe. For when the Emperour sent him away, then Mary the Emperours sister tooke him by the way, finding cauillations agaynst him: whereby hee was agayne committed to the hands of Spanyardes, till at lēgth, through the disposing of Gods mercy first the Duke of Saxony, and then 6. dayes after the Lantgraue also, were both freed out of long captiuitye, & sent home.
