Thomas Spicer, Iohn Deny, and William Pole.
THese were bro••ght 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.
