Riassunto

Excerpt from A Sketch of the Ecclesiastical History of Ipswich: The Substance of a Discourse, in Two Parts, Delivered in That Town, December 1820

Edward was succeeded by his sister Mary, a bigoted papist, who persecuted the protestants with unrelenting fury. The bloody scene, says Dr. Goldsmith, began by the martyrdom of Hooper, bishop of Gloucester, and Rogers, prebendary of St. Paul's. They were condemned to be burned, Rogers in Smith field and Hooper at Gloucester. Rogers, beside the care of hisown preservation, lay under very powerful temptations to deny his principles, and save his life. For he had a wife, whom he tenderly loved, and ten children. But nothing could move his resolution. Such was his serenity after his condemnation, that the jailers, we are told, waked him from a sound sleep upon the approach of the hour, appointed for his execution. He desired to see his wife but Gardiner told him, that, being a priest, he could have no wife. When the faggots were placed around him, he seemed no way daunted, but cried out, I resign my life with joy in testimony of the doctrine of This was A. D. 1555.
