Martyrs.

Robert Ferrar, an English man, a prime Martyr of this County, was a Man not unlearned, but somewhat indiscreet, or rather uncomplying; so that he may be said with St. Lawrence to be broyled on both sides, be∣ing persecuted both by Protestants and Papists. He was preferred Bishop of St. Davids, by the Duke of Sommerset, then Lord Protector, who was put to death not long after. Some conceived that the Patrons fall was the Chaplains greatest guilt, and encouraged his Enemies against him. Of these, two were afterwards Bishops in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, viz. Thomas Young Arch-Bishop of York, and Rowland Merrick Bi∣shop of Banger.
