Martyrs.
THOMAS CHASE, an ancient and faithfull labourer in God's vineyard, led his life most in Buckingham-shire, but found his death in this County, long kept in durance and hanged at last in the Bishops prison at Wobourn. His Executioners to palliate their murder, and asperse his Memory, gave it out that he had destroyed himself. A loud lye, seeing he was so loaden with* 1.1 Chaines, that he could not lift up his own body. But the clearing hereof must be remitted to that day, wherein all things done in secreet shall be made manifest. His martyrdome happened in the reigne of King Henry the seventh, Anno Domini 1506.
