2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.… When Bernard Palissy, the inventor of a kind of pottery called Palissy ware, was an old man, he was sent to the French prison known as the Bastille because he was a Protestant. The king went to see him, and told him he should be set free if he would deny his faith. The king said. "I am sorry to see you here, but the people will compel me to keep you here unless you recant." Palissy was ninety years old, but he was ashamed to hear a king speak of being compelled, so he said, "Sire, they who can compel you cannot compel me! I can die!" And he remained in prison until he died.
