Listen from:
JOHN LAMBERT suffered in the year 1538. This martyr was very cruelly used at the stake. They burnt him with a slow fire by inches; for if it kindled higher and stronger than they chose, they removed it away. When his legs were burnt off, and his thighs were mere stumps in the fire, they pitched his body upon pikes, and lacerated his broiling flesh with their halberts. But God was with him in the midst of the flame, and supported him in all the anguish of nature. Just before he expired, he lifted up such hands as he had, all flaming with fire, and cried out to the people with his dying voice, “None but Christ! None but Christ!” He was at last beaten down into the fire, and expired.
