DOctor Balthaz Hubmor of Friburg, a man excellently well learned,* 1.1 another Roscius in his affaires, a Clergy man at Ingolstade, was the third eminent Patron of Anabaptisme, and asworne promoter of that worthy Sect. This man in his Sermons at Regenburgh,* 1.2 inveighed so bitter∣ly and so implacably against the usury of the Jewes, that he banished it even to eternal damnation; he brought in a certain religious worship to be done to the Virgin Mary,* 1.3 and some superstitious vowes, and was the cause of great tumults and insurrections, and had built up his doctrine upon very firm and solid foundations, until the most wise Senate of Suring applyed the universal medicine of a Council to these things,* 1.4 and assigned a day to reduce and root out that sect, which was the seven∣teenth of Ianuary, in the year one thousand five hun∣dred twenty five, wherein the Senate being present, and a great presence of people, the most learned Zwin∣lius and other sonnes of learning, opposed this our Doctor, by whom, and the strength of truth after most hot and serious debating on both sides, he ingenuously confessed himself to be overcome.* 1.5 The heads of the Doctrine, which he before defended, and whereof he afterwards made his abrennciation, were these: That he detested the cheat, and humane invention of Ana∣baptisme; He affirmed that the spirit both before the fall and after was uncorrupt and unblamable, and that it never dies in sin; whence it should follow, that not it, but the flesh, is deprived of liberty; he also acknowledged that the spirit overcomes and triumphs over the flesh.* 1.6 Though his Recantation was made, and divers rebaptized into their better sences, yet the Tor∣rents of this sect neither stood still, nor were dried up, but increased in Switzerland into a deluge, which over∣turned almost all. This man escaping the endeavours of spies,* 1.7 and shunning the Halter, was at length taken with the figtree leafe of divine vengeance, and cast into prison at Vienna in Austria. Being afterwards put much to the question, it being the designe of vengeance,

the rvenging fire soon turned him to ashes. His wife being also baptized into the same whirle-pool of Baptisme,* 1.8 they both, with mindes hardened to their own perswasions, were not disengaged of tht faith, but with the departure of their lives.
