The History of the Bohemian Persecution/Chapter 79
Chap. 79.
Simeon Sussickey.
HE was Kutnaurs Father in law, being otherwise not much elder; when he saw thorough his window the Jesuites coming, turning to his cõpanions, he said, the Birds of prey are flying hither, but they shall not feed on these carkases, but they shall fly away hungry; For God hath promised a faithfull care of his own as the apples of his eyes, and therefore he will not suffer them to be seduced.
2. The last night he had a great conflict with the flesh, because the Scripture pronounced every one that hung upon the Crosse accursed; but when that the Minister Werbenius told him, that that curse was taken away by the death of Christ, and ceased in him, he was satisfied.
3. When he heard the noise of the Ordnance he said, This is a token of our approaching death, let us prepare our selves, that we may give place to our enemies that cannot indure us. We hope that we shall couragiously undergo this death, but an eternall death waits for them unlesse they repent.
4. Being called afterwards, praying and singing he went to execution, and was hanged upon the Gebbit next to his Sonne in law; and after he had given up the Ghost, he turning unto him (which was a wonderfull thing to behold) so near that their mouths touched each other; Which their enemies did cavill at, saying, that they were such obstinate Rebels that they did not cease to plot after death.
