Latimer was prisoner in Oxford we read not of much that he did wryte besides his conference with Doctor Ridley and his protestation at the time of hys disputation Otherwise of letters we finde very fewe or none that he did write to his friendes abroad saue onely these few lynes whiche hee wrote to one maistres Wilkinson of LondoÌ„ a godly matron and an exile afterwarde for the Gospels sake Who so long as she remayned in England was a singular patronesse to the good saynctes of God and learned Byshoppes as to mayster Hooper to the Byshop of Hereford to Mayster Couerdale M. Latimer Doctor Cramner with many other The copy and effect of which hys letter to Maystres Wilkinson here followeth ¶ A letter sent to maystres Wilkinson of London widowe from mayster Hugh Latimer out of Bocardo in Oxford IF the gifte of a pot of a cold water shall not bee in obliuion with God how can God forget your manifolde bountifull giftes when he shall say to you I was in pryson and you visited me God graunt vs all to do and suffer while we be here as may be to hys will and pleasure Amen Yours in Bocardo Hugh Latimer Touching the memorable actes and doynges of thys worthye man among many other this is not to bee neglected what a bold enterprise he attempted in sendyng to kyng Henry a present the maner whereof is this There was then and yet remayneth still an old custome receaued from the old Romaynes that vpon Newyeares day being the first day of Ianuary euery Bishoppe with some handsome Newyeares gifte shoulde gratify the king and so they did some with golde some with siluer some with a purse full of money and some one thing some an other but maister Latimer being bishoppe of Worcester then among the rest presented a new Testament for his New-yeares gifte with a napkyn hauing this posie aboute it Fornicatores adulteros iudicabit Dominus And thus hast thou gentle reader the whole life both of maister Ridley of mayster Latimer two worthy doers in the churche of Christ seuerally and by themselues sette foorthe and descrybed with all theyr doynges writinges disputations sufferinges their paynefull trauayles faythfull preachinges studyous seruice in Christes Churche their patiente imprisonmente and constaunt fortitude in that whiche they had taught with all other their proceedinges from time to time synce theyr first springinge yeares to thys present tyme and Moneth of Queene Mary beyng the Moneth of October Anno. 1555. In the whiche Moneth they were bothe brought foorth together to theyr finall examination and execution Wherfore as we haue heretofore declared both theyr liues seuerallye and distinctlye one from the other so nowe ioyntly to couple them bothe together as they were together both ioyned in one society of cause and Martyrdome we will by the grace of Chryst prosecute the rest that remayneth concerning their latter examination disgrading and constant suffering with the order and maner also of the Commissioners which were Mayster White Byshop of Lincolne Mayster Brookes Bishop of Glocester with others and what were theyr wordes theyr obiections theyr Orations there vsed and what againe were the aunsweres of these men to the same as in the processe here followeth to be seene The order and maner of the examination of Doctour Ridley and mayster Latimer had the xxx day of September 1555. FIrst after the appearyng of Thomas Cranmer Archbyshop of Caunterbury before the Popes Delegate and the Queenes Commissioners in S. Maryes Church at Oxford about the xii day of September whereof more shal be sayde by the Lordes grace when wee come to the death of the sayd Archbyshoppe shortly after vpon the 28. day of the sayd month of September was sent downe to Oxforde an other Commission from Cardinall Poole Legate a latere to Iohn White Byshoppe of Lincolne to Doctour Brokes Byshop of Glocester and to Doctour Holiman Byshoppe of Bristowe The contentes and vertue of which Commission was that the sayd Iohn of Lincoln Iames of Glocester and Iohn of Bristow they or two of them shoulde haue full power and authoritye to ascite examine and iudge mayster Hugh Latimer and M. Doctour Ridley pretensed Byshoppes of Worcester and London for dyuers
great quietnesse if hee coulde haue dissembled and bothe done and spoken against his conscience as many stirring Papistes then did And likewise he mighte haue escaped burning in Queene Maries time if he woulde either haue spoke◠or kept silence against his conscience as manye weake Gospellers did But Palmer could in no wise dissemble Now within short space God so wrought in his hart that he became very inquisitiue and carefull to heare and vnderstand howe the Martyrs were apprehended what articles they died for how they were vsed and after what sort they tooke theyr death In so much that he spared not at his owne charges to sende ouer one of his schollers in the companye of a Bacheler of that house to Glocester to see vnderstand the whole order of B. Hoopers deth and to bring him true report therof Which thing some thinke he the rather did because he was woont in king Edwards time to say that none of them all would stand to death for their religion Thus he learned with what extreme horrible cruelty the martyrs of God were tried and how valiauntly they ouercame all kinde of torments to the ende Wherof he himself also did see more experience afterward at the examination and death of those holy confessors and martyrs which were burned at Oxford before his eyes in so muche that the first hope which the godly conceyued of him was at the retourne from the burning of B. Ridley and B. Latimer At what time in the hearing of diuers of his frendes he brast out into these woordes and suche like O raging crueltie O tyrannie tragicall and more than barbarous From that day forward he studiously sought to vnderstand the truth and therefore with all speede he borrowed Peter Martyrs Commentaries vpon the first to the Corinthes of one of Magdalenes yet aliue and other good bookes of other men And so through harty praier and diligent search and conference of the scriptures at length he beleeued and imbraced the truth with great ioy and so profited in the same that daily more and more hee declared it both in word and dede In such sort as he neuer hated the truth more stubbornly before then afterward he willingly embraced the same whē it pleased God to open his eies and to reueale vnto him the light of his woord And nowe againe when he should come to Church in those dayes of Poperie there to be occupied among the rest in singing of Respondes reading of Legendes and suche like stuffe allotted vnto him he had as much pleasure he sayd to be at them as a Beare to be baited and wearied wyth dogs When he came it was as it appeared more to auoid displeasure and daunger then for any good will and readye affection At length through Gods grace he grew vp to suche maturitie and ripenes in the truth that he spared not to declare certaine sparkes thereof in his outward behauior and doyngs For when he should keepe his bowing measures at Confiteor as the custome there was in turning hymselfe to and fro sometyme Eastward somtyme Westward and afterward knocke his brest at the eleuatiō time agaynst which Idolatrous adoration hys hart did so vehemently rise that sometyme hee would absent hymselfe from them and sometyme beyng there he would euen at the sucring tyme as they termed it gette hym out of the church to auoyd those vngodly gestures and Idolatrous adoration To be shorte perceiuing after a while that hee was greatly suspected and abhorred of the President then being which was M. Cole and of diuers other whiche before were his friendes and therewithall feeling great conflict and torment of conscience daily to grow with his conuersation with idolaters seeing also that his newe life and old liuing might not wel nor quietly stande together he addressed himselfe to depart the house For he thoughte it not best to abide the dāger of expulsion as he did at the first seeing the weather was now waxed warmer And being demanded at that time of a special frend who wold gladly haue perswaded him to stay there longer whether he would go or how he would liue he made this answer Domini est terra plenitudo eius i. The earth is the Lordes and the fulnesse thereof Let the Lord woorke I will commit my selfe to God and the wide worlde Here I thinke it expedient before I wryte of the painfull surges that he suffered after he came abroade into the perillous gulphes and deepe Sea of this wretched wyde world first to reherse one or two exāples of his outward behauioure at suche tymes as he hadde recourse to the Colledge after his last departure whereby the Reader may yet better vnderstand of his simplicitie playnenesse and how farre wide he was from all cloked dissimulation in Gods cause which certayne godlesse personnes haue sought maliciously to charge hym with all Beyng at Oxford on a certayne tyme in Magdalene Colledge and hauyng knowledge that the Spanish Frier Iohn who succeeded D. Peter Martyr in the office of the Diuinitie Lecture would preach there that present Sonday he would not at the first graunt to be present at it At length a friend of his a fellow of that house persuaded so much with him that he was content to accompany his sayde friend to the church But sodainly as the Frier vehemently inueyed against Gods truth in defendyng certayne popish heresies Palmer hauyng many eyes bente and directed towardes hym departed from amongst the middest of the auditorie and was found in hys friends chamber weepyng bitterly Afterward beyng demaunded why he slipt away vpon such a sodayne Oh sayd he if I had not openly departed I should haue openly stopped myne eares For the Friers blasphemous talke in disproouyng or rather deprauyng the veritie made myne eares not to glowe but my hart worse to smart then if myne eares had bene cut from myne head It chanced another tyme that the same friend of hys called M. Shipper beyng then Bursar of the house bade hym to dinner in hys chamber Palmer not knowyng what ghestes were also thither inuited and bidden hapned there contrary to his expectation to meete with the foresayd Frier with whom were present D. Smith Doc. Tresham and diuers other papists whose company Palmer coulde not well beare and therefore whisperyng a friend in the eare he sayd he would be gone for that was no place for hym I will sayth he to the Bursars Table in the great hall The Bursar vnderstandyng his mynde desired hym of all friendshippe not so to depart alledgyng that it were the next way to be wray hymselfe as it were of purpose to cast hymselfe into the Briers with many other perswasions as the shortnes of tyme would permit In the end he condescēded to his request and taried Now as he came to the fire side the Frier saluted hym cherefully in Latine for he could not speake Englishe Palmer with an amiable countenaunce resaluted him
most miserably died Who commonly when he woulde affirme any thing were it true or false vsed to say If it be not true I pray God I rotte ere I die Witnesse the Printer heereof with diuers other With these I mighte inferre the sodeine death of Iustice Lelond persecutor of Ieffray Hurst mentioned before pag. 2076.

Steuen Gardiner hearing of the pitiful end of Iudge Hales after he had drowned himself taking occasiō thereby called the following and professiō of the Gospel a doctrine of desperation But as Iudge Hales neuer fell into that inconuenience before hee had consented to Papistrye so who so well considereth the ende of Doctour Pendleton which at hys death ful sore repented that euer he had yeelded to the doctrine of the Papists as he did and likewise the miserable ende of the moste parte of the Papistes besides and especially of Steuen Gardiner him selfe who after so longe professinge the doctrine of Papistrie when there came a Bishop to him in his deathbed and put him in remembraunce of Peter denying his Maister he aunswearing againe sayd that he had denied with Peter but neuer repented with Peter and so both stinckingly vnrepentantly died will say as Steuen Gardiner also hym selfe gaue an euident exāple of the same to all men to vnderstand that Poperie rather is a doctrine of desperation procuring the vengeaunce of almighty God to them that wilfully do cleaue vnto it Iohn Fisher Bishop of Rochester and Syr Thomas More in Kyng Henryes time after they hadde brought Iohn Frith Baifield and Baynham and diuers other to theyr death what great reward wanne they therby with almighty God Did not the sworde of Gods vengeaunce light vpon their owne neckes shortly after and they them selues made a publicke spectable at the tower hil of bloudy deathe which before had no compassion of the liues of others Thus ye see the saying of the Lord to be true Hee that smiteth with the sword shall pearish with the sword So was Heliodorus in the old time of the Iewes plagued by Gods hand in the Temple of Hierusalem So did Antiochus Herode Iulian Ualerianus the Emperour Decius Maxentius with infinite others after they had exercised theyr crueltye vppon Gods people feele the like striking hand of God them selues also in reuenging the bloud of his seruaunts And thus much concerning those persecutors as well of the Clergy sort as of the laity which were stricken and died before the death of Quene Mary With whom also is to be numbered in the same race of persecuting Byshops which died before Quene Mary these bishops folowing Bishops Coates Bishop of Westchester Parfew Bishop of Harford Glinne Bishop of Bangor Brookes Bishop of Glocester King Bishop of Tame Peto Elect of Salisburie Day Bishop of Chichester Holyman Bishop of Bristow Now after the Queene immediately followed or rather waighted vpon her the death of cardinal Poole who the next day departed Of what disease although it be vncertaine to many yet to some it is suspected that hee tooke some Italian Physicke which did him no good Then folowed in order Bishops Iohn Christopherson B. of Chichester Hopton B. of Norwich Morgan B. of S.

Woe be vnto them that are strong to spue out wyne and expert to set vp dronkennesse The punishments of them that be dead be wholsome documents to men that be aliue And therfore as the story aboue exemplified may serue to warne all Courtiers and Yeomen of the Gard so by this that followeth I would wish all gentlemen to take good heed and admonition betime to leaue their outrageous swering and blaspheming of the Lord their God In the tyme and raigne of K. Edward there was in Cornewall a certaine lusty yong Gentleman which dyd ride in company with other mo GentlemeÌ„ together with their seruaunts beyng about the number of xx horsemen Amongst whom this lusty yonker entring into talke began to sweare most horribly blasphemyng the name of God with other ribauldry words besides Unto whome one of the company who is yet aliue and witnes hereof not able to abide the hearing of such blasphemous abhominatioÌ„ in gentle wordes speaking to him said he should geue answere and account for euery idle word The Gentleman taking snuffe therat Why sayd he takest thou thought for me take thought for thy winding sheete Well quoth the other amend for death geueth no warning for as soone commeth a lambes skin to the market as an olde sheepes Gods wouÌ„des sayth he care not thou for me raging still after this maner worse worse in words till at length passing on theyr iourny they came riding ouer a great bridge staÌ„ding ouer a piece of an arme of the sea Upon the which bridge this Gentleman swearer spurred his horse in such sort as he sprang cleane ouer with the man on his backe Who as he was going cryed saying horse man and all to the deuil This terrible story happening in a Towne in Cornewall I would haue bene afrayde amongest these storyes here to recite were it not that he which was then both reprehender of his swearing witnes of his death is yet aliue and now a Minister named Heynes Besides this also bishop Ridley theÌ„ bishop of London preached and vttred euen the same fact and example at Paules Crosse. The name of the Gentleman I could by no meanes obteyne of the party witnes aforesayd for dread of those as he sayd which yet remaine of his affinity 〈◊〉 kinred in the sayd country Hauing now sufficiently admonished first the Courtyers then the gentlemen now thirdly for a briefe admonition to the Lawyers we will here insert the strange end and death of one Henry Smith student of the law This Henry Smyth hauing a Godly Gentleman to his father an auncient protestant dwelling in Camden in Glocester shyre was by him vertuously brought vp in the knowledge of Gods word sincere religion wherin he shewed himselfe in the beginning suche an earnest professor that he was called of the Papistes pratling Smith After these good beginnings it folowed that he coÌ„ming to be a student of the law in the middle Temple at London there through sinister coÌ„pany of some especially as it is thought of one Gifford began to be peruerted to popery afterward going to Louane was more deepely rooted grouÌ„ded in the same and so continuing a certayne space amoÌ„g the papistes of a yong protestant at leÌ„gth was made a perfect papist In so much that returning from theÌ„ce he brought with him pardoÌ„s a Crucifixe with an Agnus dei which he vsed coÌ„monly to weare about his necke had in his chamber images before which he was woont to pray Besides diuers other Popish trashe whiche he brought with hym from Louane Now what ende followed after this I were loth to vtter in story but that the fact so lately done this present yeare ann 1569. remayneth yet so fresh in memorie that almost all the Citie of London not onely can witnesse but also doth wonder thereat The end was this Not long after the said Henry Smith with Gifforde his companion was returned from Louane beyng now a foule gierer and a scornfull scoffer of that religion which before he professed in his chamber where he lay in a house in S.
