Anno 1473. §1473in August, one John Goose, or Huss was condemned, and burned for the trueth, at Tower hill: so that, since the time of Richard the 2. 1there was no king hitherto, in whose reign, some godly man or other had not suffered ⟨p. 389⟩the pains of fire, for the testimony of Christ. This godly man being entertained in the Sheriffs house, before he went to execution, desired some meat: and (eating) he said to those about him: I eat now a good and competent dinner, for I shall pass a little sharp shower, before I go to supper. And having dined, he gave thanks, and requested that he might shortly be led to the place where he should yield his spirit to God. Ex Polychro.
