The SIXTH and LAST APPEARANCE of Dr. FARRAR, Bishop of St. DAVID's.
ON the Wednesday following, Dr. Farrar personally there appearing, was demanded by Henry, the pretended bishop of St. David's, whether he would renounce and recant his heresies, schisms, and errors, (as he called them) which hitherto he had maintained, and if he would subscribe to the catholic articles, otherwise than he had done before.
AFTER this, Dr. Farrar did exhibit a certain schedule, written in English, and remaining in the acts; appealing withal by express word of mouth from the bishop, as from an incompetent judge, to cardinal Poole.
NOTWITHSTANDING all which, the said bishop proceeding in his rage, pronounced the definitive sentence against him contained in writing, and there left in the acts; by which sentence he pronounced him an heretic excommunicate, and to be given up to the secular power, namely, to Mr. Leyson, sheriff of the town of Carmarthen.

THIS good bishop being condemned and degraded, was committed to the secular power, and not long after was brought to the place of execution in the town of Carmarthen, where he in the market place, in the south-side of the market-cross, the 30th day of March, being Saturday next before Passion-Sunday, most constantly sustained the torments of the fire.
