By the preaching of Adam Damlip in Calais, among others, there was a poor man whose name is not yet certainly known: who was converted to the truth & therefore condemned by one Harvey there, being commissary: whom this Harvey in time of his judgement called Heretic, and said he should die a vile death: the poor man answered again, and said that he was no heretic, but was in the faith of Christ: and whereas thou saidest, said he, that I shall die a vile death, thou thy self shalt die a viler death, and that shortly. And so it came to pass, for within half a year after Harvey was hanged,1 drawn and quartered for treason in the same town of Calais.
