She asked them how they could sleep, eat, or drink, whencovered with such heavy fetters. "The cause, and my good conscience, "answered De Bray, "make me eat, drink, and sleep better than those whoare doing me wrong. These shackles are more honorable to me than goldenrings and chains. They are more useful to me, and as I hear their clank, methinks I hear the music of... sweet voices and the tinkling of lutes. " This exultation never deserted these courageous enthusiasts. Theyreceived their condemnation to death "as if it had been an invitation toa marriage feast. " They encouraged the friends who crowded their path tothe scaffold with exhortations to remain true in the Reformed faith.
