As this godly martyr was going to the fire, there came a certain maid to him,1 which took him about the neck and kissed him, who being marked by them that were present, was sought for the next day after, to be had to prison and burned, as the very party her self informed me: Howbeit, as God of his goodness would have it, she escaped their fiery hands, keeping her self secret in the town a good while after. But as this maid, called Rose Nottingham, was marvellously preserved by the providence of God: so there were other two honest women did fall into the rage and fury of that time.2 The one was a Brewer's wife, the other was a Shoemakers wife, but both together now espoused to a new husband Christ.
