Thomas Spicer, Iohn Deny, and William Pole.

THese were broght before Dunnings, Chancellor of Norwich, and Minges his Register: the Chancellor perswaded what he could to bring them from the truth: and being he could not preuaile he burst out in teares, intreating them to turne againe vnto the holy mother Church. As he was thus labouring them, and seemed vnwilling to giue iudgement, the Register said, in what doe you make such ados? they be at that point they will be, therefore reade sentence and dispatch the knaues; whereupon he condemned them with teares, and the next day, being the one and twentieth of May, they were burned at Beckles by Sir Iohn Silliard high Sherife, without any writ from my Lord Chancellor. As the fire burned about them, they praised God with such an audible voyce, that it was wonderfull to all those that stood by. One Robert Bacon, and enemie to the truth willed the tormen∣tors to throw on aggots to stop the knaues breaths, but they confessed the truth, and gaue their liues for the testimony thereof very gloriously and ioyfully. Thomas Spicer was a labourer dwelling at Wenson in Su••••olke.
