Anno 1409. Thomas Badby 1a tailor and lay man, was by Thomas Arundell archbishop of Canterbury brought to condemnation for the testimony of the truth. His Articles were: 1. That the sacrament of the Altar is not the real body of Christ, and that after consecration it remaineth bread still. 2. That it was unpossible, that any priest could make the body of Christ. 3. That he said, Jack Baker of Bristow had as much power to make the like body of Christ, as any priest had. He was pronounced an Heretic, first by the B. of Worcester in the chapel Calvary of S. Thomas martyr, nigh the cathedral Church of Worcester, which was afterward approved by the archbishop of Canterbury, Archb. of York, London, Winchester, Chichester, Norwich, (the prince Edmund, Duke of York being also by) &c. and he condemned in Pauls Church in London,2 and so was delivered to the secular power to be burned: which when they had done, (like false hypocrites) they desired the temporal Lords present, very instantly, that they would not put the said John Badby to death, &c. But this being done in the forenoon (the 15. day of March) on the afternoon, the kings writ was not far off: he was brought into Smithfield, and there being put in an empty barrel, was bound with iron bars fast to a stake, and dry wood put to him, and so burned. At which time, Courtney Chancellor of Oxford, preached and informed him of the faith of holy church. the Prince, the K. eldest son being also present. When the tun was put over his head, and fire put to, he cried mercy, (belike upon the Lord,) whereat the Prince commanded to take away the tun, and to quench the fire, promising him pardon (if he would recant) and a yearly stipend out of the kings treasury.
