Riassunto

Excerpt from Lives of the English Martyrs, Vol. 1: Second Series, the Martyrs Declared Venerable, 1583-1588

This conservatism has led to one rather curious result. Richard Williams, a little-known martyr, who figures under no. LIX, really suffered three years later, as our more complete historical apparatus enables us to say without hesitation. But tradition ally he figures under the date 1588, and this too has its significance, for another still less known hero really suffered at that time, though by some accident his name has entirely fallen out of our martyrologies, and Williams has been given his place. Whilst we give the biography of the latter, in its traditional order, we also say what we can about the layman, John Harrison, who really belonged to that date.
