The fayth and doctrin of these confessours,
Secondly, they denyed the Popes vsurped authority, and dyd hold al that church of Antichrist to be Christes aduersaryes, further refused the abused sacramentes, defied the masse and al Popish seruice and Ceremonies, saing they robbed God of his honnor, and Christ of his death and glory, and would not come at church, without it wer to the defacing of that they dyd there.

Thyrdly, they did hold, that the ministers of the church, by Godes worde might laufully marry.
Fourthly, they held the Quene as cheife head: and wicked rulers a great plague sente of God for sinne. &c.
Fiftly, they denyed mans free will, and that the Popes church did erre, and many other in that pointe with them, rebukinge their false confidence in workes, and their false trust in mannes righteousnes. Also when any rebuked those persecuted for going so openly, and talking so frely, their answer was: they knowledge, confesse and beleue, and therfore they must speake. And their tribulacion that it was Gods good wil and prouidence, and that hys iudgmentes were righte, to punish th? with other for their sinnes. And that of very faythfullnes and mercy God had caused them to be troubled. So that one heare of theyr heades shoulde not perishe before the tyme: but all thinges should worke vnto the beast, to them that loue God. And that Christ Iesus was their life and onely righteousnes: and that onely by fayth in him, and for his sake al good thinges were freely geuen them: also forgiuenes of sinnes, and lyfe euerlasting.
Many of these foresayd persecuted, were of greate substance, and hadde possessions of their owne.

Geue God the prayse.

However (again), some people say that the story of Thomas Higbed in Foxe's book (link above) is actually the story of Thomas Hubbard:

Thomas Higbed
(d. 1555)
Gentleman, martyr
Thomas Higbed was denounced to Bonner and detained at Colchester together with Thomas Causton and Henry Wye. Bishop Bonner and John Feckenham came to Colchester to attempt to convert them. When these efforts failed, Causton and Higbed were transported to London. 1563, pp. 1103-4; 1570, p. 1716; 1576, p. 1465; 1583, p. 1539.
Higbed was examined by Bonner on 17 February 1555. 1563, p. 1104; 1570, pp. 1716-17; 1576, p. 1465; 1583, p. 1539.
He was examined by Bonner on 18 February 1555. 1563, pp. 1104 and 1108-09; 1570, p. 1717; 1576, pp. 1465-66; 1583, pp. 1539-40. [The date is given as 'xxviii Feb.' in the 1563 edition; this is probably a misprint.]
He was again examined by Bonner on 1 March 1555. 1563, pp. 1104-05; 1570, pp. 1717-18; 1576, p. 1466; 1583, p. 1540.
He was further examined by Bonner on 8 March 1555 1563, p. 1105; 1570, p. 1718; 1576, p. 1466; 1583, p. 1540.
Higbed was examined and condemned by Bonner on 9 March 1555. 1563, pp. 1105-07; 1570, pp. 1718-19; 1576, pp. 1466-68; 1583, pp. 1541-42.
Higbed was sent to Newgate and was later taken, together with William Hunter, to Brentwood. He was detained there with Hunter, before being sent to execution at nearby Horndon-on-Hill, Essex. Higbed comforted William Hunter's mother. He was executed on 26 March 1555. 1563, pp. 1107-08; 1570, pp. 1715 and 1719-20; 1576, pp. 1464 and 1468; 1583, pp. 1538 and 1542.

From an article in theLiterary Diary of Ezra Stiles, President of Yale University, there is a copy of an old memorial stone which reads:
Ebenezer
Samuel Hubbard aged 10 of May 78 yeres
Ould Tase Hubbard aged 27 Sep. 79 yeres and 7 mons
4 Jen. maryed 51 yeres 1688
14V psal 4. God have given us 7 children 4 ded 3 living

Bethiah Clark 9 living
Great Grandchildren
BNaomi Rogers 1 ded 4 alyfe
BRuth Philips 1 ded 4 alyfe

Thomas Burd
(The termEbenezermeans a memorial stone set up to commemorate divine assistance such as that found in 1 Samuel 7:12 when Samuel took a stone and set it up after a victory over the Philistines, saying "Hitherto the Lord has helped us.")
A further note from the Stiles Diary explains: "I took this inscription off a gravestone in a family burying place on Baptist Berkeley's White Hall farm on Rd Isld, about A.D. 1763. Collector Robinson bought the lease about 1765 and demolished the gravestones and put them into a wall: so all is lost."[9]He interpreted this to mean that the stone was erected on September 27, 1688 when Samuel was 79 years old on May 10, Tacy was 79 years and 7 months old, and that they had been married for 51 years on January 4 of that year. The Psalm reference was Psalm 145:4 which reads, "One generation shall praise thy works to another." The superscript letters with Naomi, Ruth and Judah shows lineal decent from Burdick and Clark.
About 1987 a stone bearing the name Samuel Hubbard was found in a flower bed next to Whitehall on Berkeley Avenue in Middletown and in 1993 was in the basement of Middletown Historical Society's Paradise School Museum. The date is so obliterated that it is difficult to make positive identification with the father or either of his two sons bearing that name. The stone wall which still borders White Hall causes one to wonder if other similar stones lie hidden within the wall.[10]
Establishing the Church
Stephen Mumford may have been the first Seventh Day Baptist in America chronologically, but the Hubbards were the most influential in establishing the first Sabbath keeping Christian church on this side of the Atlantic. Their importance lies not only in what they did and said, but also in the record that they provide for the history of the period in which they lived. Much of Samuel Hubbard's journal and correspondence was copied and extracts have been used by historians as a primary source for the thoughts and actions of the last half of the seventeenth century.
His property was in what was later named Middletown near that of Obadiah Holmes and John Clarke, leaders in the First Baptist Church.
Almost from the beginning, Samuel was recognized as a leader within the church. When John Clarke, Obadiah Holmes and John Crandall were arrested and imprisoned in 1651 while visiting a Baptist brother in Lynn Massachusetts, Samuel Hubbard was one of those who was sent by the church to visit them in prison and attempt to secure their release.[11]In 1657 Hubbard accompanied Obadiah Holmes on a missionary tour to some of the Dutch settlements on Long Island, at Gravesend, Jamaica, Flushing and Hampstad.[12]
Although Samuel Hubbard was a recognized leader in the Baptist Church, Tacy appears to have been the dominant force in the Seventh Day Baptist Church. As mentioned previously, Tacy was the first to have been "enlightened into [God's] holy ordinance of baptizing only of visible believers."[13]
Nearly twenty years later, Samuel Hubbard entered into his Journal the note:
"My wife took up keeping the lord's holy 7th day Sabbath the 10 day March 1665. I took it up 1 day April 1665. Our daughter, Ruth 25 Oct. 1666. --Rachel-- Jan. 15, 1666 --Bethiah-- February 1666. Our son Joseph Clarke 23 Feb. 1666. (Hubbard, Journal p. 9-10. Note: The old style calendar was used in which the new year began in March rather than January.)"
Her role is also noted by Edwin Gaustad's account of the debate which led to the 1671 separation of the five from the church of John Clarke. "Joseph Torrey thought that the congregation ought to hear from someone besides Hiscox, and after much discussion Tacey Hubbard was allowed to summarize the reasons for their not taking communion with the rest of the church." (Gaustad, Baptist Piety p. 56. Hubbard records this incident, writing: "Then Br. Hiscox began but they would not let him -- every one must answer for himself lest others be led by him: so they named me, but I would not be first: then my wife laid down three grounds...")
In a letter to John Thornton of Providence in December 1686, Hubbard summed up their religious pilgrimage with the words:
"My wife and I counted this year 1686: My wife a creature 78 years, a convert 62 years, married 50 years, a baptist 38 years, a sabbath keeper 21 years. I a creature 76 years, a convert 60 years, an independent & joined to a church 52 years, a baptist 38 years and a sabbath keeper 21 years. We are rich grace born up & adorned with rich mercies above many, as to have all three daughters in the same faith & order & 2 of their husbands, and 2 of my grand daughters and their husbands also with us.[14]
Similarly, the Hubbard's third daughter, Bethiah married Joseph Clark, the nephew of Dr. John Clarke, the founder of the First Baptist Church in Newport. Her husband was mentioned by Hubbard as "son, Clarke," who came to the Sabbath with others in the family in 1666. Their daughter, Judith, married John Maxson Jr. who became the third pastor of the Westerly Church. Another daughter, Bethiah, married Thomas Hiscox, the fourth pastor of that same church. Two other daughters, Mary and Susanna, were progenitors of some of the Champlins and Babcocks within the denominational line. (For a more complete summary see Part II of this book.)[15]
Research Notes
Samuel isn't profiled in theGreat Migrationseries.
In the profile for Benjamin Hubbard (who seems to be his brother), Anderson states: "In 1895 Edward Warren Day made a number of claims... but this author's work is generally unreliable [One Thousand Years of Hubbard History, 866 to 1895, from Hubba, the Norse Sea King, to the Enlightened Present(New York 1895)...]."[16]It's relevant becauseOne Thousand Yearsis often cited as a source for Samuel Hubbard's origins.

Thomas Hubbard
Thomas Hubbard was a persecuted Protestant who was driven out of the town of Mendlesham in 1556.. Some sources, including his grandson Samuel, say he was burned at the stake rather than recant his Protestantism, others disagree . His story, from the book "Samuel Hubbard of Newport (his grandson):

Thomas Hubbard was gentleman residing at Hornden on the Hill in Essex, "of good estate and great estimation in that county" and withal "zealous and religious in the true service of God." An informer discovered him to Edward Bonner, Bishop of London, who imprisoned him at Colchester and paid him the honor of a visit to convert him. Later he was removed to London, thrice examined at the consistory of St. Paul's, and remaining obdurate was sentenced by the Bishop, "before the Mayor and Sheriffs in the presence there of all the people assembled" to be burned for his heresy. A fortnight later he was "fast bound in a cart" - and brought to his " appointed place of torment" - the village in which he had lived. There on the 26th of May 1555, he sealed his fate says the narrator, shedding his "blood in the most cruel fire to the glory of God and the great joy of the godly." His maternal grandsire, though possessing simliar convictions, was more fortunate; yet he too, was the object of suspicion and search. As late as 1682, Mr. Hubbard (Samuel) had in his Newport house a testament printed in 1549, which Thomas Cocke of Ipswich,(England), his mother's father, had brought safely through those fiery days by hiding it in his bed straw. To a man of Mr. Hubbard's turn of mind this volume, with such a history, must have been a priceless treasure. In all probability, the testament was a later edition of the translation from the Greek by Tyndale made in the reign of Henry VIII, which says Welsh, "*revised by Coverdale and edited in 1539 as Cromwell's Bible, and again in 1540 as Cranmer's Bible, was set up in every parish church by the very sovereign who had caused the translator to be strangled and burned". To this testament some special authority was attached, it appears, for it was consulted by parties at a considerable distance."

Of the Bible that was in the collection of Alfred University and returned to the Seventh Day Baptist Church in 1946:

The 1549 Bible is believed to have been mentioned in Samuel Hubbard's journal; "Now 1675 I have a testament of '''my grandfather Cooke's''' printed in 1549 which he hid in his bed-straw lest it be burnt in Queen Mary's days." This fits the inscription found in the Bible at the end of the Gospel of John: "This book was my grandmother's great grandmother;s, and I know not how many generations before. It was given me by my grandmother, Judity Rigers AD 1762. Caleb Potter." In an earlier journal entry, Samuel Hubbard wrote that his "grandfather was Thomas Hubbard of Mendlsham [Hubbard is listed in the Fox book of Martyrs as having been driven out of Mendelsham] in Suffolk. He had four children, Jeremiah, John, Martha, and James. James married Naomy Cooke of Ipswich in Suffolk, daughter of Thomas Cooke of that place."The original manuscript is not known to be in existence. In addition, all current copies of the work are descendants of a transcription by Issac Backus. The original manuscript of Backus's transcription is in the collection of the Rhode Island Historical Society in Providence, Rhode Island.

___________________________

Notes: Ancestry of Thomas is clouded, at best. Some sources indicate he was born 1538 and died 1555, before his children were born, so I'm hesitant to include earlier generations, at this point. Suffice it to say, he is likely to descend from one Joh n Hobart/Hubbard, b. 1274, La Tye, Monks Eligh, Suffolk, England, d. 1304, same. This John Hubbard is listed as direct descendant of Ragner Lodbrock de Denmark, b. 711, Uppsala, Denmark... though the generations run WAY too fast in my opinion . So something's been left out.

Earliest known ancestor of the Burdick family, who was burned at the stake May 26, 1555, in Essex County, England, for refusing to recant his Protestantism.
