¶An other Table of them which suffered in France for the like witness of the Gospel. *The French Martyr•. Persecutors. | Martyrs. | The Causes. Doctor Martial of Paris. | James Pavane schoolmaster. At Paris. An. 1524. | This James first being taken by the Bishop of Melden,1 or Meaux, was compelled to recant by Doctor Martial. Afterward returning again to his confession, he was burnt at Paris. 1525. Ex. Joan. Crisp. | Dionisius de Rieux. At Melda, or Meaux. An. 1528. | 2This Denis was one of them which were first burn at Melda, for saying, that the Mass is a plain denial of the death and Passion of Christ. He was always wont to have in his mouth the words of Christ:3 He that denieth me before men, him will I deny before my Father, and to muse upon the same earnestly. He was burnt with a slow fire, and did abide much torment. Ex Crisp. & alijs. | 4Joannes de Cadurco, Bacheler of the Civill law. An. 1533. | This John, first for making a Sermon or exhortation to his countrymen of Lunosin in France upon Alhallow day: and after, sitting at a feast where it was propoū dead, that every one should bring forth some sentence, for that he brought forth this: Christ reign in our hearts, and did prosecute the same by the Scriptures in much length of words, was thereupon accused, taken, and degraded and after burned. At this degradation one of the black Friars of Paris preached, taking for his theme the words of S. Paul. 1. Tim. 4. The spirit speaketh, that in the latter days men shall depart from faith, giving heed to lying spirits, and doctrine of error. &c. And in handling that place, either be could not or would not proceed further in the text. Cadurcus cried out to him to proceed, and read further. The Friar stood dumb, and could not speak a word. Then Cadurcus taking the text, did prosecute the same, as followeth: Teaching false doctrine in hypocrisy, having their conscience marked with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and to eat meats created of God, to be eaten with thanksgiving &c. Ex Joan. Crispi. Promo•••• of Paris. |
