¶Thomas Hayward and Iohn Goreway, Martyrs.
Although the rage and vehemency of this terrible persecution in Queen Mary's days did chiefly light in London, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent,1 as hath been partly already declared: yet notwithstanding, besides the same, we find but few parts of this Realm from this fatal storm, but some good Martyrs or other there shed their blood. And first to begin with the Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry,2 there we find these two to be condemned and also burned about the middest of the said month of September at the town of Lichfield: whose names were Thomas Hayward, and John Goreway.
