Excerpt from Martyria: A Legend, Wherein Are Contained Homilies, Conversations, and Incidents of the Reign of Edward the Sixth
And always, when a ghostly customer came, whether he were a favourer of the old or of the new learning, would Thomas Erpingham hint at his own, as remotely allied to the clerkly profession, using the while, reve rential and becoming speech, as it were beseeching his listener's assent. In a turret, on the roof of his house, the horologist had placed a clock, in part to publish his craft, but mainly for the spiritual edification of his neigh hours. By his inquiries from the city-sextons he had ascertained the daily mortality of the metropolis and very diligent he was in disseminating the information - ao that all his friends might understand the precise intensity of the warning, which his clock struck through the neighbourhood every hour.

It is set during a time of great religious upheaval, as the Protestant Reformation is taking hold in the country. The author, a horologist, uses the striking of the hours on his clock to reflect on the transience of life and the importance of using time wisely. The book also explores the complex relationship between faith and politics, and the ways in which religious beliefs can be used to justify violence and persecution. The author's insights into the human condition are timeless and offer a valuable perspective on the nature of faith and the challenges faced by those who seek to live a Christian life.
