I shook my Head at him, but was not, just then, going to attempt his Conversion. By way of confirming myself in the Faith, I passed on to _Newgate_, where I saw _Tomkins_, young _Hunter_, and their Fellow-prisoner in the LORD, Master _Rogers_, who was to suffer the next Morning. To hear him talk, one would have thought he saw Heaven opened, and the bright Vision that St. _Stephen_ had, revealed to his inward Eye; and he mightily strengthened his Brethren. His Wife being denied Access to him, he prayed me give her a Kerchief, the only poor Token he had to send; and to bid her, if she had Strength for 't, to be by the Wayside with the Children, next Morn, on the Way to _Smithfield_. I took her there myself; the poor Soul was wondrously supported; and when the good Man came by, I held one of his little Children towards him, prompting him to say, "The LORD will strengthen thee, Father!" Which, indeed, he did. Well, after the Euthanasy of this blessed Proto-martyr, who, as though to confirm the Courage of those that came after, did literally wash his Hands in the Flame as if he felt no Smart, _Tomkins'_ Courage, strange to say, greatly departed from him, and he doubted much if he should hold firm unto the End. Thereon, great Prayer was made for him by his Brethren in Bonds, and, I am bold to say, at one or two solitary Bed-sides: and it came to pass, at all Events, that he was strengthened to go through his next Examination, with young _Hunter_ and the Rest, in _Paul's_ Consistory, five Days after _Rogers_ was burned. The Lad _Hunter_, who stood by his Brother to the Last, heard all five Prisoners condemned to die by _Bonner_.
