A short Account of WILLIAM MINGE, who died in Prison.
THE next day after Mr. Bradford and John Leaf suffered in Smithfield, William Ming, priest, died in prison at Maidstone, being there in bonds for religion, and would, had he lived a little longer, also have suffered the fury of his adversaries, whose nature was to spare and favour none that favoured Christ's pure gospel. This William Ming, with as great constancy and boldness yielded up his life in prison, as if it had pleased God to have called him to suffer by fire, as other good and godly men had done before at the stake, as himself was ready to do, had it pleased God to have called him thereunto.
