Doctor Robert Farrar, the Bishop of St. David's, burns at the stake while a hostile crowd of soldiers surrounds him. One of the soldiers wields a wooden stick at Farrar. Farrar is fully clothed and chained to a stake while clouds of smoke and flames engulf him. In the first edition (1563) this martyrdom is illustrated by Luborsky and Ingram 11222/27. In the second through fourth editions (1570, 1576, 1583) it is illustrated by Luborsky and Ingram 11223/19 and 12000/01. However, this engraving is a new design, based very loosely on Luborsky and Ingram 11223/38 but differs from the martyrdoms illustrated by "The burning of Richard Ffeurus," "The burning of James Bainham," "The burning of Thomas Bilney," and "The burning of Adam Wallace."
