Sir John Southworth an ancestor - I am related to through my mothers line.
Sir John Southworth
And
Dr. Muhammad Wasem Mazz - had nothing in common!
John - lived and died - centenary's apart from each other!
Wasem died the other week - born in the last centenary!
John - was of the old religion - Catholic - a Christan!
Now Mahmoud Wasem was a Muslim - what branch - don't - know that - why , why should I!
John - was a priest - when it was - wise to keep your head down - and keep it , attached!
Both men had much in common - as you will read!
Johns - parish was Westminster - London
The plagued - broke out - as it had dun since the 1300's - it were then 1654.
Now - John - had been - warned - many times to keep his head down! John - just smiled - kept to his believes! He was like that - was John!
He were arrested at least twenty times! Spent time in The Clink - yes there was such a prison! Well - to John - it were a place to hang his hat. John , went about his way of life - way of work. He'd - arrested more than a score times!
John - administered - to those - dieing from - The Plague - and talking - hands on hear!
Ear close up the plague victims - lips so he could hear and listen to their last words - gave - what comfort he could.
Well - some one decided to arrest - John - this time the turnkey - LOOKED - Johns - cell
Duly - John was tried - charge - TREASON! He was after all a - PRIEST! Now John - told to deny - he was a - priest! John - just smiled: '' Deny? BUT - I am a priest - it's what I do! '' - he smiled.
Now - '' senceble '' , priests of the old and new Christianity. Followed the - money!
Those with the money - as soon as the plague broke out - left town - fast! Of course they had need of priests - to save their - soles - as they were saving their skins! John - was unrepentant - why should he be!
Well - John - was found guilty - sentenced to a traitors death!
John was born Sir John Southworth - his father - a land owner in the county of Lancashire - was the sheriff of the county! So - John - could of avoided all that!
The execution - was - gory! So you are duly warned!
It involves being hung - cut down before before death
Then disembowel - organs pulled out - then burnt in the
Sight of the condemned man
Genitals - cut off - inserted in too the condemned mans mouth!
Arms - legs axed off!
Then the head axed off!
The torso - cut in to quarters!
Well - they showed - mercy - let - John - hang till death took him!
Now - John - was born Sir John Southworth - son of a landowner in Lancashire - not short of money - his dad - was the Sheriff of the county - so had influence!
It were decided - that the Catholics - could gather all - Johns - body parts.
Stitch him up - and take Johns body - back to France - where he had been ordained. In the 1930's - workmen found - Johns remains. His body returned to London - encased in silver - lays now in Westminster Cathedral. Formally - Johns parish.
Dr. Muhammad Wasem Mazz - a Muslim - a Doctor - a pediatrician - last one - remaining in Aleppo - Syria. His dedication - commitment - to the children - in his care - undaunted - while bombs - barrel bombs - full of explosives - scrap iron - dropped on - his Al Qds Hospital - Aleppo - Muhammad - staid - doing all that he could to help - save the children - he died - with the children - mothers - fathers - fellow staff - nurses.
Now - Muhammad - could of fled - as many have - took to a boat crossed the seas of tears - been offered - jobs - the world short of his skills.
Muhammad - chose to stay - he died - with the children - in his caring love!
Story of two men separated only by time. Both cared - governed by their humanity - they had so much in common!
Their humanity that made them great human being!
