A CATALOGUE of the NAMES of those HOLY MARTYRS WHO WERE Burned in Queen MARIES Reign.
AS ALSO, The Particular Places where, with the Years and Months, and several of the Days, when they Suffered.

I Am sorry we have now the sad Occasion to refresh our Memories with the inhumane instances of the Cruelty of those Popish times; for as the Incomparable Virgil says (though upon another Subject), Quis talia fando temperet à Lachrymis? but yet, since we had e'en like (our Royal Soveraign, and the whole Protestant Nation, if it had not been for the most gracious timeing-Providence of God) to have been made a hasty Sacrifice to the rapacious, devouring lusts of those bloody men of Rome; and still know not into what hands we may fall, or how soon, if the infinite mercy of Heaven, the pious zeal of the King, and the loyal unity, servent pray­ers, and diligent circumspection of all true Englishmen, do not defeat their damnable and hellish Machinations, and prevent their horrid Treacheries. What can be more seasonable at such a time as this, than to present you with a short and true account of those holy and blessed Martyrs, who suffered in the days of Queen Mary, only for the Testimony of a good Conscience, and because they would not come over to their Anti-scriptural, and Idolatrous ways of Worship. And if so many lives were then taken away, and made a prey to the rage of their Religious pretences, Lord! what rivers of blood would now run down our streets! and how many thousands of Souls should endure the utmost torments of their insatiable Butcheries, should we ever have again a Popish Prince to rule over us! nor let any of our Dignified Clergy think to escape, for they may see here, if they please, they neither spared Bishop nor Archbishop that was not a Votary to the See of Rome; and I hope, whatever the Calumnies of some may be, we have none but who do scorn to bow their knee to Antichrist.
