After these sentences beyng thus pronounced, they whiche were condemned to be burned with the coffin of the dead Lady, and her picture vpon the same, were com- mitted to the secular magistrate, & to their executioners, whiche were commaunded to do their endeuour. Then were they all incontinent taken, and euery one set vpon an asse, their faces turned backeward, with a great gari- son of armed souldiours, vnto the place of punishement, whiche was without the gate of the towne called Del Campo. MarginaliaXiiij. Martyrs in Spain, burned.When they were come to the place, there were xiiij. stakes set vp of equall distance one from an other, wher- unto euery one seuerally beyng fastened, accordyng to the fashion of Spayne, they were all first strangled, and then burned, and turned to ashes, saue onely Antonie Huezuelo, who for somuch as hee had both within and without the prison, vehemently detested the popes spiri- tualtie, therfore hee was burned alyue, and his mouth stopped from speakyng. And thus these faithfull Christi- ans, for the veritie and pure worde of God, were led to death, as sheepe to the shambles: who not onely most christianly did comforte one an other, but also did so ex- hort all thē there present, that all men merueiled great- ly, both to heare their singular constancie, and to see their quiet and peaceable end. It is reported that besides these aforesayd, there re- mayned yet behynd, xxxvij. other prisoners, at the sayd towne of Valledolid, reserued to an other Tragedie and spectacle of that bloudy Inquisition. Ex quinta parte Mar- tyr. Gallice Impress. pag. 474. |
* Furthermore, whereas the story of the sayd Inquisition beyng set out in the Frenche tongue, doth reken the number of the Martyrs, aboue mentioned, to be thyrty: and yet in particu- lar declaration of them, doth name no more but xxviii. here is therfore to be noted, that eyther thys nūber lacked ij. of thyrty: or els that ii. of the sayd companie were returned backe without iudgement, into the prison againe. |
¶ And thus much for this present, touchyng the pro- cedyng of the Churche of Spayne, in their Inquisition agaynst the Lutherans, that is, agaynst the true and faithfull seruauntes of Iesus Christ. Albeit there be o- ther countreis also besides Spayne, subiecte vnto the same Inquisition, as Neaples, and Sicilie: in whiche kyngdome of Sicilie, I heare it credibly reported, that euery thyrd yeare are brought forth to iudgement and execution, a certein number after the like sort of Chri- stian Martyrs, some tymes xij. some tymes vi. some tymes more, and some tymes lesse. Amongest whom MarginaliaA Christian Martyr burned in Sicilie.there was one, much about the same yeare aboue men tioned. an. 1559. who commyng from Geneua, vnto Sicilie, vppon zeale to do good, was at last layd hande of, and beyng condemned the same time, to the fire, as hee should take his death, was offered there of the hangman to be strangled, hauing the corde ready about hys necke: but he notwithstandyng, refu- sed the same, and sayd that he would feele the fire: and so endured hee, singyng with all hys might vnto the Lord, till he was beriued both of speach and life, in the middest of the flame: such was the admirable constan- cie and fortitude of that valiant souldiour of Christ, as is wytnessed to me by hym, whiche beyng there present the same tyme, did both then see that whiche he doth te- stifie, and also doth now testifie that he then saw. |
¶ Now it remayneth further, accordyng to my pro- mise, in lyke order of a compendious Table, to com- prehend also such Martyrs, as suffered for the veri- tie and true testimonie of the Gospell, in the places and countreys of Italie: which Table consequently here next ensueth to be declared. |
