according to the measure and portion of Faith which God hath given us Let Him be pleased to cause that it may not dye in us but may produce fruits worthy of his Children He giving us Perseverance in the same we will ascribe Praise and Thanks unto Him to all Eternity Amen JEAN du BORDEL MATTHIEU VERMEIL PIERRE BOURDON ANDRE la FON When their Orthodox Confession was sent to Villagagnon he declared them Hereticks upon the Articles relating to the Sacrament of the Altar and Vows and said t was unlawfull for them to live any longer lest the Company should be infected with their Poison Yet his resolution to put them to death he kept as privat as he could till Friday the 9th of February 1558. on which day he orderd them to be brought from the Continent Their friends with tears disswaded them from going to their slaughter But they considering that God might have brought them into those parts and preserved them in millions of dangers for this end could not find in their hearts to desert the Cause of their dear Lord Jesus So John Bordel Matthew Vermeil and Andrew la Fon went into the boat But Peter Bourdon was left behind very sick Being come to the Island Villagagnon commanded that they should be brought before him who holding their Confession of Faith in his hand asked if they made and signed it They answered that they made it and signd it every one owning his Hand and seeing it was according to the Confession of the holy Apostles and Martyrs of the primitive Church they were resolved by the Grace of God to maintain it Their words were scarce out before Villagagnon discoverd a furious countenance threatening to put them to death if they continued in their damnable Opinion And presently commanded his Executioner to put Irons on their Legs and to every Chain to hang fifty or sixty pound weight and orderd them to be shut up in a nasty dark Prison and set a Guard of armed men upon them They comforted one another in Prayer singing of Psalms All the Company of the Island was very much troubled at this action and secretly comforted the Prisoners and gave them provisions which they stood in need of The next day in the morning he went well armd with a page into a little Hall whither he sent for John Bordel in his Irons of whom he demanded an explanation of the article of the Sacrament He confessed that the Bread and Wine were Signs of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ confirming it by the saying of St Augustin Villag in a great passion gave him a blow on the face with his fist whereupon much blood flowed from his nose and mouth To the blow he added words agreeable You have lyed Villain St Austin never said so Before I eat I will reward the fruits of your Obstinacy As some tears fell with the blood Vil. upbraided him calling him a puny fresh water souldier that would cry for a fillip Then he asked him if he would maintain what he had writ and signd Bordel answered Yes untill by Authority of the holy Scriptures I am otherwise taught V. seeing the stedfastness of the man commanded his Executioner to bind him and carry him to a Rock which the water coverd twice a day three foot He and his page being armd attended the poor Sufferer to the place appointed Bordel passing by the prison where his companions were cryed out to them with a loud Voice Be of good Courage you will quickly be delivered from this miserable life As he went along he sung Psalms to the astonishment of bloody V. and his Executioner Being upon the Rock t was with much adoe that he got leave to commend himself to God in prayer before he went out of the world The Executioner being too slow for furious V. he threatend him with a cat of nine tails if he did not make haste therefore he immediatly threw him into the Sea where he rendred to God his Spirit calling upon the Name of our Lord Jesus till he was drownd Matthew Vermeil was brought next being greatly astonished at the death of his companion he pleaded with V. for his life with such Expostulations Have we robbed you or evilly entreated the least of your servants Have we plotted your death or done any thing to your dishonour No Villain said he you and your companions dye for no such things as these but because you are a most dangerous Pest to be separated from the Church lest you spoil the rest of my company The Martyr answered Eight moneths are not passed since you made an ample confession of the Points for which you make us dye this day Afterward he petitioned him again for his life offering to become his servant V. said he had nothing for him to do but he would think of it if he would recant his Error Vermeil seeing no hope given him but what was destructive to his Salvation became thereby resolv'd in his mind and Cryed out with a loud Voice I had rather dye to live eternally with the LORD than to live a little while and dye for ever with Satan After he had made his Prayer upon the Rock and commended his Soul to the Care of God he freely delivered himself into the hands of the Executioner and Crying out with a loud Voice Lord Jesus have mercy on me He gave up the ghost Andrew la Fon had not strength enough to climb up into this Rock of Martyrdom but by Promises Threatenings was drawn to some degree of Recantation Or else was favoured by Villagagnon for the sake of his Trade of a Tailor which was very necessary And so his life was spared But the bloody Sacrifice of Vil. is not yet ended One Victim remains viz. Peter Bourdon who was left very sick on the Continent Villagagnon went himself thither took one ashoar with him His first salutation to the poor sick man was that he must get up and go into the boat Bourdon would have excused himself from his inability to do him any service by reason of sickness Villagagnon told him this was to cure him The poor man not being able to stand much less go he caused him to be carried aboard Villagagnon asked whether he would stand to the Confession he had signd He answered he would consider of it As soon as they came ashoar the Executioner bound him without any more adoe advertising him to have a care of his Conscience Bourdon supposing that to be the place where his companions obtained the Victory over death he recommended his soul to God and Cryed with a loud Voice Lord God! I am of the same Paste with my Companions who maintained the Combat for thy Name with glory and honour I pray Thee shew me Favour that I may not succumb amidst the Allurements of Satan the World and the Flesh I pray Thee pardon all my Transgressions Offences that I have committed against thy Majesty and this in the
