*The burning of Thomas Man.
Thus Thomas man, the manly martyr of Jesus christ, being condemned by the unjust sentence of Head the Chancellor, was delivered to the Sheriff of London sitting on horseback, in Pater noster row, before the Bishops door, an. 1518. protesting to the said Sheriff, that he had no power to put him to death, and therefore desired the Sheriff to take him as a relapse and condemned to see him punished, Et tamen citra Mortem, that is, without death, as the words stand in the Register. The Sheriff receiving neither articles to be read at his burning, nor any Indentures of that his delivery,1 immediately carried him to Smithfield, and there in the same day in the forenoon caused him to be put into Gods Angel, according to the words of the said Thomas Man before, saying that if he were taken again of the pilled knave priests, as he called them, he wist well he should go to the holy Angel, and then be an angel in heaven.
