Among whom we •••corded an honest poor man, named Willi•• •••chol, who was apprehended by the […] the pope, for speaking certain words aga••• […] cruel kingdom of Antichrist, and on the 9th […] April, 1558, was burnt in Wales, ending his […] a most happy and blessed state, gloriously […] his soul into the hands of that God, whose […] be praised for ever, Amen.
