Seb. Frank, in his Chron. der Rom. Kett. letter
L., gives the following account of this matter:

“Having been brought a prisoner to Scharding, he
was taken to the fire by three executioners, bound
cross-wise on a ladder, and thrust into the fire.
When he called upon Christ Jesus the ropes fell
from his body and were burned; and as he was still
alive, he rolled out of the fire at one side. The executioners
instantly thrust him back into the fire,
with hop-poles, that happened to be there, so that
he rolled out on the other side. There the executioners
cut him alive into pieces, which they cast
into the fire, without being able, however, to burn
them, as I have read,” etc. Concerning this, see
also P. J. Twisck, Chron., fol. 1020, col. 2.
