Minerva and there saith he I will procure you liberty of the Cardinalls to see him he had me also to the Inquisition office where he asked many questions of me concerning our Religion to which I answered in the simplicity of my heart in the fear of the Lord and at the appointed time I came to the place aforesaid and there I was shewed what further I should do which was to tender my body for my Brother and so from that time I hardly missed opportunity to speak to them as often as they met for their manner was thus to meet twice a week the one time at Minerva and the other time at Monte-Cavallo where the Popes own dwelling is where I also did the like more then once which stirred them up against me in great emnity And truly I was perswaded both by Jews and others to save our selves their emnity grew so much against us at last they would not suffer us to give in a paper at the door to our dear Brother after some time passed and after that the Lord required me to go to the Jews Synagogue where I had been several times before and declared glad tidings to them from the mouth of the Lord and after that I had been but a little time amongst them the word of the Lord came to me saying thou shalt be taken at Minerva and whereas it is commonly reported in this place that John Luffe starved himself to death thou shalt fast for a Testimony against them for it was so they had often cast his death upon me saying he fasted 19 dayes and the 20th day he died wch thing grieved me many times And it came to pass according to the word of Lord I was taken 19 dayes after at the said place where the Lord told me I should and from thence I was carried to the Inquisition where I was shut up close and after I had been there 3 dayes the Lord said to me Thou must go to the Pazzarella which was the Prison or Hospital of mad men where our dear Brother was prisoner and it was also said unto me thou shalt also speak to the Pope And at the 17 dayes end I was led from the Inquisition towards the other Prison and by the way I met the Pope carried in great pomp as it was the good will of the Lord that I should speak unto him men could not prevent it for I met him towards the foot of a bridge where I was something nigh him and when he came against me the people being on their knees on each side of him I cried to him with a loud voyce in the Italian tongue To do the thing that was Just and to release thââânocent and whilest I was speaking the man which me had not power to take me away untill I had ãâã and then he had me to prison where my endeâ⦠Brother was where I fasted about 20 dayes as a wiâââ against that bloody Generation For in my fastâ⦠Lord shewed me what they had done with John ãâã that true and faithful servant of his for he sheweâ they had destroyed him Now in the time of my ââ¦ing it could not be perceived by any outward appâââance that I did fast as many of themselves did corâ⦠that I looked better then when I did eat and truââ cannot say that my flesh did decay at all I ãâã strengthened often times by the good word of ãâã Lord which he spake thorow his faithful sufferââ Lambs to me in the time that we had liberty to wâ⦠one to the other my dear Sister being brought ãâã the Inquisition where she was retained from the ãâã I was brought from thence and from thence ãâã brought to the same Prison where we were and sâ⦠after my fast the Lord by an out-streched arm wrouââ our deliverance being condemned to perpetual ââ¦ly-slavery if ever we returned again unto Rome CHARLES BAYLYâ My Soul praise thou the Lord in all his marvellous gâââ works yea magnifie thou the Name of thy God ãâã holding the powerful works of his own right hand ãâã partaking of his everlasting compassions love and ãâã measurable mercies Ah blessed blessed blessed praiââ magnified and honoured be the Name of the Lord the ãâã high God even for ever and ever Amen JOHN THE END
