sealed her martyrdom with her blood.

A young woman named Judith Mandon, for refusing to change her religion,
and embrace popery, was fastened to a stake, and sticks thrown at her
from a distance, in the very same manner as that barbarous custom which
was formerly practised on Shrove-Tuesday, of shying at rocks, as it was
termed. By this inhuman proceeding, the poor creature's limbs were beat
and mangled in a terrible manner, and her brains were at last dashed out
by one of the bludgeons.

David Paglia and Paul Genre, attempting to escape to the Alps, with each
his son, were pursued and overtaken by the soldiers in a large plain.
Here they hunted them for their diversion, goading them with their
swords, and making them run about till they dropped down with fatigue.
When they found that their spirits were quite exhausted, and that they
could not afford them any more barbarous sport by running, the soldiers
hacked them to pieces, and left their mangled bodies on the spot.

A young man of Bobbio, named Michael Greve, was apprehended to the town
of La Torre, and being led to the bridge, was thrown over into the
river. As he could swim very well, he swam down the stream, thinking to
escape, but the soldiers and mob followed on both sides the river, and
kept stoning him, till receiving a blow on one of his temples, he was
stunned, and consequently sunk and was drowned.

David Armand was ordered to lay his head down on a block, when a
soldier, with a large hammer, beat out his brains. David Baridona being
apprehended at Villaro, was carried to La Torre, where, refusing to
renounce his religion, he was tormented by means of brimstone matches
being tied between his fingers and toes, and set fire to; and afterward,
by having his flesh plucked off with red-hot pincers, till he expired;
and Giovanni Barolina, with his wife, were thrown into a pool of
stagnant water, and compelled, by means of pitchforks and stones, to
duck down their heads till they were suffocated.

A number of soldiers went to the house of Joseph Garniero, and before
they entered, fired in at the window, to give notice of their approach.
A musket ball entered one of Mrs. Garniero's breasts, as she was
suckling an infant with the other. On finding their intentions, she
begged hard that they would spare the life of the infant, which they
promised to do, and sent it immediately to a Roman catholic nurse. They
then took the husband and hanged him at his
