The HISTORY of Mr. JOHN BLAND, Preacher […] Martyr.
The HISTORY of Mr. JOHN BLAND, Preacher 〈…〉 Martyr.
THE 12th day of July, John Bland, […] Frankesh, Nicholas Shetterde•, and H•• phry Middleton were all four burnt at Canterbury together for one cause. Of which number, Frankesh ⟨p. 695⟩and Bland were ministers and preachers of the word of God, the one being parson of Adesham, and the other vicar of Rolvindon. Mr. Bland was a man so little born for his own advantage, that no part of his life was separated from the common and public utility of all men. For his first doings were there employed to the bringing up of children in learning and virtue. Under whom were trained up several hopeful young men, which afterwards did handsomely flourish. In which number was Dr. Sands, a man of singular learning and worthiness, as may well become a scholar for such a school-master, whom I gladly here name for his singular […] of virtue and crudition.
