One Thomas Bilney, a priest, who had embraced the new doctrine, had been terrified into an abjuration ; but was so haunted by remorse, that his friends dreaded some fatal effects of his despsdr. At last, Ms mind seemed to be mom relieved ; but t...his appearing calm proceeded only from the resdution which he had taken of expiating his past ofience by an open confession of the truth, and by dying a martyr to it He went through Norfolk, teaching the peq)le to beware of idolatry, and of trusting for their salvation either to pil* grimages, or to the cowl of St. Francis, to the prayers of ihe sointa, or to images. He was soon seized, tried in the bishop's court, and condemned as a relapsed heretic ; and the writ was sent down to bum him. When brought to the stake, he discovered such patience, fortitude, and devotion, that the spectators were much afiected with the horrors of his punish- Boent ; and some mendicant friars who were present, fearing tirnt Ins martyrdom would be imputed to them, and make them lose those alms which they received from the charity of the people, desired him publicly to acquit them* of having any hand in his death.
