William Andleby
In his youth,
he was as Loyola,
a soldier, then he was converted
and became a priest.
He succored and strengthen
the Catholic prisoners,
uplifting their faint bodies
with a new spirit of faith.
After 20 years’ labor,
he was arrested and condemned
for his priestly character,
for true faith
and led by his oppressors
to martyrdom.
He was martyred
at York In 1597.
