I worship Iesus Christ in heauen sittyng at the right hand of God the father. | ||
| Officiall. | ||
| MarginaliaPurgatorye.What say you by Purgatory? | ||
| The Martyr. | ||
For somuch as there is no place of mercy after this lyfe, therfore no nede there is of any purgati?, but neces- sarye it is, that we be purged before we passe hence. | ||
| Officiall. | ||
| MarginaliaSupremacie.Of the Pope what thincke you? | ||
| The Martyr. | ||
I say, he is a Byshop, as other Byshops are, if he be a true folower of S. Peter. | ||
| Officiall. | ||
| MarginaliaVowes.What say you of vowes? | ||
| The Martyr. | ||
No man can vowe to God so much, but the lawe re- quireth much more then he can vowe. | ||
| Officiall. | ||
| MarginaliaPraying to saintes.Are not Saintes to be Inuocated? | ||
| The Martyr. | ||
They can not pray without fayth, and therfore it is in vayne to call vnto th?. And agayne, God hath appoin- ted his Aungels about vs, to minister in our necessities. | ||
| Officiall. | ||
Is it not good to salute the blessed virgine with Aue Maria? | ||
| The Martyr. | ||
When she was on this earth, she had then nede of the Aungels gretyng, for then she had nede of saluation, as well as other: but nowe she is so blessed, that no more blessing can be wished vnto her. | ||
| Officiall. | ||
| MarginaliaImages.Are not Images to be had? | ||
| The Martyr. | ||
For that the nature of man is so prone to Idolatrie, euer occupyed and fixed in those thynges, whiche lye be- fore his eyes, rather then vp? those whiche are not sene, Images therfore are not to be set before Christi?s. You know, nothyng is to be adored, but that whiche is not sene with eyes, that is God alone, whiche is a spirit, and him we must worship onely in spirite and truth. | ||
| Officiall. | ||
What say you by the Canonicall or ordinary houres for prayer? | ||
| The Martyr. | ||
To houres and tymes, prayer ought not to be tyed. But when soeuer Gods spirite doth moue vs, or when any necessitie driueth vs, then ought we to pray. Then the Officiall asked what he thought of holy oyle, Salt, with such other like. To wh? the Martyr aunswe- Marginalia* Maranatha is an Hebrue word mentioned 1.

As they were in the fire, the maister stan dyng vpright to the stake, shif- ted the fire from him, to his ser- uaunt, beyng more carefull for him, then for him selfe: and wh? he sawe him dead, hee bowed down into the flame, and so ex- spired.

At Lyons. an. 1553. | These v. studentes, after they had remained in the Vniuersitie of Lausanna a certain time, c? sulted among them selues, beyng all French m?, to returne home, euery one to his countrey, to the intent they might instruct their parentes, and other their frendes in such knowledge, as the Lord had geuen to them. So taking their iourney from Lausanna, first they came to Geneua, where they remayned a while. From thence they w?t to Li?s. Where they sittyng at the table of one that mette them by the way, and desired them home to his house, were apprehended and led to prison: where they continued a whole yeare, that is, from the first day of May, to the xvi. of the sayd moneth agayne. As they were learned, and well exercised in the Scriptures: so euery one of th? exhibited seuerally a lear- ned confession of his faith, and with great dexteritie, throughe the power of the Lordes spirite, they confounded the Friers, with whom they disputed: especiallye Peter Scribe or Scriuener, and Seguyne. They were examined sonder- ly of the Sacram?t of the Lordes body, of Purgatory, of confessi?, and Inuocation, of freewill, and and of the supremacie. &c. Al- thoughe they approued their cause by good Scripture, and re- futed their aduersaries in reaso- nyng, yet right being ouercome |
