Chancellor, Sir Thomas Moore to Chelsea, and there he lay in the porters Lodge, hand, foot, and head in the stocks six days. Then he was carried to Jesus Tree in the Garden, where he was whipped, and also twisted in his brows, with small ropes, that the blood start out of his eyes, and yet would accuse no man. Then he was racked in the Tower, and there promised to recant at Pauls Cross. After he came to S. Austens with a new Testament in his hand, and stood up before the people in a Pew, and declared openly with tears that he had denied God, and prayed the people to forgive him, and to beware of his weakness not to do as he had done: for if I should not turn again to this truth, having the New Testament in his hand, he said, this Book Gods Word would damn me body and soul, and he prayed every body to do as he had done: for he would not feel such a hell again as he had done not for all the worlds good: and immediately he was carried to the Bishop of London; and after he was burned in Smithfield, and died a glorious Martyr.
