19-26 Jan 1731:31 (115)
Nov. 10. It is written from Niot in the province of
Poicton, that 26 persons were seized there on suspicion of
holding assemblies for worshipping God in the Protestant
way, one of whom, named Brissant, had been condemned to be
hanged, after two false witnesses had declared, on oath,
that they had hear him say, "Come, my brethren, God Almighty
will enable us to make mortar with the blood of our enemies
to build up our churches again". . . [22 lines, controversy
over sentence.] When he had got up the ladder, he began to
sing the 51st psalm, but the executioner gave him not time
enough to make an end, but turned him off. . .
