Thomas “of Ipswitch”.
1553, Queen Mary I ascended the throne of England and began
to persecute protestants.
Family notes:
·
Samuel Hubbard wrote that he still had “a
Testament of my grandfather Cocke’s printed 1549, which he hid in his bedstraw
lest it be found and burnt in queen Mary’s days.” [Likely a Tyndale New
Testament, which Tyndal wrote in English in 1525 while visiting Martin Luther
in Germany. One risked death by burning if caught in possession of the
forbidden book. Tyndale was burned at the stake in 1536.]
Child of Thomas
