# The History of the Bohemian Persecution/Chapter 36

Cmap. XXXVI,
John Augusta, James Bileck, and George Israel taken.
I. THe third Edict that Ferdinand set forth against the brethren, was concerning the taking of the Ministers of the brethren prisoners: wherefore they are disperſed, part into Morauia, which at that time was free from troubles, part, that they might not forsake their auditors, in private places, from whence comming forth (but for the most part, in the night) they visited the faithfull, and where need required administred in houses, which continued for fome years.
2. Three of them fel into their enemies clutches, Iohn Augusta, the elder, with Iames Bilke his colleague, & George Israel, pastor of the Church of Turnovia, but he by the admirable help of God was freed from the deep dungeon of the Castle of prague, and followed his friends into borussia, being from above made an Apostle of the polonians. For when he had once or ​twice travelled from Borussia into Moravia (where the Ministers forced from Bohemia did lurk & had gone through polonia the greater, in some places (as occasion offered it selfe) hee preached the Gospell with such success, that he gained many of the nobility and in these the pallatines and Castellanes, and within fewe years erected about twenty Churches in polonia the greater: and this was the first originall of Churches in Polonia, which as yet retaine the Cerimonies of the bohemian Confession.
3. The enemies so rejoyced for the imprisonment of John Augusta, as the philistims did when they had taken Sampson; for he was a man renowned through the whole Country, not so much for that he was the chief bishop among the brethren, but for his disputations both by words and writings with his adversaries the Calixtines, who as Luther, the pope in Germany, so he confounded his adversaries in bohemia. For he was sometimes Luther’s auditor, and did often afterwards receive Letters from him. by which meanes the enemies laid all the blame of the disobedience of the Orders towards Ferdinand, upon Augusta alone, as if he with his had caused (the rest of the Order cunningly being drawn into the faction) that Ferdinand being driven out, they might advance lohn Frederick the Elector of Saxony unto the Kingdome; which had assuredly been brought about, if Cæsar had been overthrown in war.
​4. That this cruell conspiracy might be disclosed, Augusta being called forth by a feigned friend to discourse as if to advise with them concerning the allaying of that mischief, he is taken & carried back to Prague, & was by order three times miserably tortured by the hand of the hangman, his colleague John Billek, fared no better. But no unlawfull act being known, or any signe thereof appearing, they are left in prison for the space of 17 years, at the length after the death of Ferdinand they are dismissed in the year 1564.

Chap. XXXVII.
Veey many of the Ministers of the Gospell banisbed.
I. WHen it was evidently knowne, that the brethren were not the authors of any conspiracy, but that the Orders in regard of the ancient league with the Saxons, and a new desire against the protestants had acted this, Ferdinand bent all his endeavour to persecute the Lutheranes also, having called a meeting in the year 1549 he caused those things which were formerly agreed upon to be confirmed, and the decree for the abolishing all other sects, (to wit the brethren and Lutheranes) to be published.
2. The effect whereof was, that aswell the Ca​lixtines as Papists, might have the more liberty to vexe the Gospellers with malice, calumnies, and injuries, and untill the yeare 1555 by the Kings command, the Ministers that had received orders in Germany, and those that were married in Cities and Townes were removed, one after another, and banished the Kingdome, to the number (as some have affirmed) of neer upon 200. These men being dispersed through Misnia and the Palatine Philip Malancthon greatly comforted with his letters.
For the King had promised that some of the chief of the Gospellers, upon any pretence whatsoever should bee proscribed, and hurried to prison, among whom was lohn prostiborski, Baron of Schanow, an eminent man, not so much for his wealth, as his learning and good experience. Hee, for a suspition of a certaine plot against Ferdinand, and for that he had consulted with the Saxons after an itterated verball diligent examination being laid on the rack, with an heroicall indignation, cut out his tongue and cast it away, being demanded why hee did so, what hee could not with his tongue in those tortures, very humbly with a quill set it downe on the wall) for that end (said hee) I did it, because I would not bee brought to it, by any tortures to say any thing that is false against himselfe, or others. And here by a written parchment upbraiding the Tyrannicall proceedings against them, and other in​nocents he cited the King and his councellors to appeare before the tribunall of God, and a little after died in the same prison, notwithstanding the King had taken order that a Chyrurgion, and a Physitian should take care of his health.

CHAP. XXXI.
Martha Porzizia burned.
I. IN the next year after Martha de Porzizia a woman even beyond her sexe of an heroicke spirit, being examined as well by the Masters in Colledges, as by the Judges in the Common Hall, with much boldnesse gave an account of her faith, and upbraideth the Hussites of folly, for that they flattered the Papists, the chief Magistrate admonishing her that she should prepare her garments against the time she was to be laid on the pile of wood, answered, I have both my petticoate and mantle command me to be led away when ye please; tbe crier declaring openly that she had blasphemed, she with a loud voice denied, saying, it is not so, but I am condemned for that I would not confessto please the Papists, that Christ was contained in the Sacrament with bones, haire, sinews, and veins, and speaking aloud to the people she said: Give no credit to these Priests, they are dissembling Hypocrites, Gormandizers, Adulterers, & Sodomites. Being brought forth & comanded to pray unto the image of the crucifix, she turned her back to it, ​and having lift up her eyes unto heaven she said, there is our God, thither wee must looke, and then shee hastned to mount the pile, and endured the paines of the fire with a strong courage the 4 of December, 1527.
