Ye heard before of ten sundry persons sent out of Newgate by Master Hare and other Commissioners, to be examined of Boner Bishop of London.1 Of whom six already have been executed in several places, as hath been showed: whose names were Elizabeth Warn, George Tankerfielde, Robert Smith, Steven Harwood, Thomas Fust, and William Hail.2 Other three, to wit, George King, Thomas Leis, and John Wade sickening in Lollards Tower, were so weak that they were removed into sundry houses within the City of London, and there departed, and cast out into the fields, and there buried by night of the faithful brethren,3 when none in the day durst doe it, propter metum Judaeorum. The last that remained of this foresaid company, was Joan Layshe or Layshforde, the Daughter in law to John Warn and Elizabeth Warn Martyrs, but because she was reprieved to a longer day, her story and Martyrdom we will defer till the month of January the next year following.
