Alors que l'entreprise entrait dans la ville de Coventry, un poorporteur est venu au prisonnier comme il était parmi les soldats, et lui a dit, O mon bon maître, Dieu vous renforcer et vous réconforter. Bon cordonnier, pleuré Saunders, priez pour moi; car je suis l'homme le plus indigne à être choisi pour ce sacrifice qui a jamais été nommé lui; mais je ne doute pas que mon Dieu et Père gracieux est capable de me tomer assez fort pour lui. Cette nuit-là, il a été placé dans la prison de thécommon parmi les autres prisonniers, où il a dormi

Good shoemaker, cried Saunders, pray for me; for I am theunworthiest man to be chosen for this sacrifice that ever was appointedto it; but I doubt not that my gracious God and Father is able tomake me strong enough for it. That night he was put into thecommon jail among the other prisoners, where he slept little, butspent the night in prayer. On the next day he was led to the placeof burning in a park without the city. He had but an old gown andshirt to wear, and was barefooted, and he often fell flat on the ground, and prayed.
