Ex Crisp. George Borell. Jailer. The Procurator of the City of Grenoble in France. The Inquisitor. | Martin Gonyn. In Dolphin. An. 1236. | 1This Martin being taken for a spy in the borders of France, toward the Alps, was committed to prison. In his going out, his Jailer espied about him, letters of Farellus and of Peter Uiret. Wherefore being examined of the kings Procurator, and of the Inquisitor, touching his faith, after he had rendered a sufficient reason thereof, he was cast into the river and drowned. Ex Joan Crisp. The kinsfolks and friends of this Claudius. Mosinus, an Officer. | Cladius Painter a Goldsmith. At Paris. An. 1540. | 2Claudius going about to convert his friends and kinsfolks to his doctrine was by them committed to Morinus a chief captain, who condemned him to be burned: but the high Parliament of Paris, correcting that sentence, added moreover that he should have his tongue cut out before: and so to be burned. Ex Joan Crisp. Gasper Augerius the Bishops Renter. Domicellus, a Franciscan and Inquisitor. | Stephen Brune, a husbandman. At Rutiers. An. 1540. | Stephen Brune was persecuted of Augerius,3 who after his confession given of his faith, was judged to be burned. Which punishment, he took so constantly, that it was to them a wonder. His adversaries commaū dead after his death, to be cried that none should make any more mention of him, under pain of heresy. Pantalion addeth moreover, that at the place of his burning called Planuol, the wind rose and blew the fire so from him, as he stood exhorting the people, that he there continued about the space of an hour, in manner, not harmed or scarce touched with any flame: so that all the wood being wasted away, they were compelled to begin the fire again with new fagots,4 & vessels of oil, and such other matter: and yet neither could he with all this, be turned, but stood safe. Then the hangman took a staff, and let drive at his head. To whom the holy Martyr being yet alive, said: When I am judged to the fire, do ye beat me with staves like a dog: With that the hangman with his pike, thrust him through the belly and the guts, and so threw him down into the fire & burned his body to ashes, throwing away his ashes afterward with the wind. Ex Joan Crisp. | Constantinus, a Citizen of Rhone with three other. An. 1542.
