Thomas Bilney, after his examination and condemnation before Doct. Pelles Doctor of law and Chancellor, first was degraded by Suffragan Underwood, according to the custom of there popish manner, by the assistance of all the Fryers and Doctors of the same suit▪ Which done, he was immediately committed to the •aye power, and to the two Sheriffs of the City, of whom Thomas Necton was one.1 This Tho. Necton was Bilneys special good friend, and sorry to accept him to such execution as followed. But such was the tyranny of the time and dread of the Chancellor and Fryers, that he could no otherwise do, but needs must receive him. Who notwithstanding, as he could not bear in his conscience himself to be present at his death: so, for the time that he was in his custody, he caused him to be more friendly looked unto, and more wholesomely kept, concerning his diet, then he was before.
