JOB HORTOP A.D. 



1570. 

 1 6 dayes after we came over the bar of S. Lucar, and came 

 up to the Hurcados, then he put us into a pinnesse in the 

 stocks, and sent us prisoners to the Contratation house in 

 Sivill. From thence after one yere we brake prison, on 

 S. Stevens day at night, 7. of our company escaped, 

 Robert Barret, I Job Hortop, John Emerie, Humphrey 

 Roberts, and John Gilbert were taken, and brought backe 

 to the contratation house, where we remained in the stocks 

 till twelfe tide was past. Then our keeper put up a peti- 

 tion to the Judge of the contratation house, that we might 

 be sent to the great prison house in Sivill, for that we 

 broke prison, whereupon we were presently led thither, 

 where we remained one moneth, and then from thence, to 

 the castell of the Inquisition house in Triana, where wee 

 continued one yere : which expired, they brought us out 

 in procession, every one of us having a candle in his 

 hand, and the coate with S. Andrewes crosse on our 

 backs : they brought us up on an high scaffold, that was 

 set up in the place of S. Francis, which is in the chiefe 

 street of Sivill : there they set us downe upon benches, 

 every one in his degree, and against us on another scaffold 

 sate all the Judges, and the Clergy on their benches : the 

 people wondered, and gazed on us, some pittying our 

 cases, other said, burne those heretikes. When we had 

 sit there two houres, we had a sermon made to us : after 

 which one called Bresinia, secretarie to the Inquisition, 

 went up into the pulpit with the processe, and called 

 Robert Barret and John Gilbert, whom two familiars of Robert Barret 



the Inquisition brouPfht from the scaffold before the f'^Jf^^J^-

Judges, where the secretarie read the sentence, which 



was that they should be burnt, and so they returned to 



the scaffold, and were burnt. 



Then I Job Hortop, and John Bone were called, and -^f^ Hortop 



brought to the place, as before, where we heard our 



sentence, which was, that we should go to the Gallies, 



and there row at the oares ende ten yeeres, and then to 



be brought backe to the Inquisition house, to have the 



coate with S. Andrewes crosse put on our backs, and
