Thomas Hawks was one of the 6. men condemned in one day of Boner, the 9 of February: and put to death the tenth of June. He was borne in Essex, and by profession a Courtier, and servant to the Earle of Oxford, till God took King Edward out of this world. He had borne to him a son, whose baptism he deferred to the third week, for that he would not have him baptised after the Papistical manner. For which cause, the adversaries laid hands on him, and brought him to the Earle of Oxford. The Earle sendeth him up to London, with letters to Boner. With whom Boner after much communication, and conference of his Chaplains with master Hawkes, he remained at Fulham: and the B. the next day departed to London, and came home again at night.
