THE first day of the month of July, the said three prisoners were brought into the consistory in St. Paul's, where Bonner proceeded against them after the usual form and manner of law, reading ••st their confessions, articles, and answers, and then temp• ing them sometimes with fair promi••, at other times with threatenings, which indeed were generally his chief arguments and reasons. In the end, seeing their unmoveable constancy, upon the 5th of July he condemned them as heretics, and delivered them to the sheriffs of London, as to his common executioners, who kept them till they were commanded by writ to send them to their several places of suffering; and accordingly Mr. Denley was sent to Uxbridge, where he was burned on the 8th day of August; and being set in the fire, with the burning flames about him, he sung a psalm.
THEN cruel Dr. Story being there present, commanded one of the tormentors to throw a faggot at him, wherewith being so hurt that his face bled, he left singing, and clapped both his hands upon his face. Truly, said Dr. Story to him tha• hurled the faggot, thou hast marred a good old song.

YET notwithstanding all this, he put his hands abroad in the flames, and sung again, resigning his spirit into the hands of God, through his Son Jesus Christ.
