He was seized, and immediately put to the torture.

He manfully refused to betray any members of his congregation, as manfully avowed and maintained his religious creed.

He was condemned to the flames, and during the interval which preceded his execution, he comforted his friends by letters of advice, religious consolation and encouragement, which he wrote from his dungeon.

He sent a message to the woman who had betrayed him, assuring her of his forgiveness, and exhorting her to repentance.

His calmness, wisdom, and gentleness excited the admiration of all.
