" When the Protfsta&t bishops had resolved to put her to death , a friend of Mr . John * Rogers , the divinity reader in Paul's church , came to him ; earnestly

    desiring him to use his interest with the archbishop that the poor woman ' s life might be spared , add other means used to prevent the spreading of her opinion , which might be done in time ; urging though that the while she lived she

    infected few with her opinion , yet she might bring many to think well of it by suffering death for it : he pleaded therefore that it was better she should be kept in some prison , without an opportunity of propagating her notion among weak people ; and so she

    would do no harm to others , and might live to repent . herself . Rogers on the other hand pleaded she ought to be put to death . Well then , says bis friend , if you are resolved to put an end to her Hie , together with hejr opinibn , chiise some other , l $ ind > of death , mttte
