Upon the day that was appointed for this holy martyr of God to suffer,1 he was brought out of the prison at 8. of the clock in the morning, unto the house of the L. Cromwell, and so carried into his inward chamber, where as it is reported of many,2 that Cromwell desired him of forgiveness, for that he had done. There, at the last, Lambert being admonished, that the hour of his death was at hand, he was greatly comforted and cheered, and being brought out of the chamber into the Hal, he saluted the gentlemen, and sate down to breakfast with them, showing no manner of sadness or fear. When as the breakfast was ended, he was carried straight way to the place of execution, where as he should offer himself unto the Lord a sacrifice of sweet savour, who is blessed in his Saints for ever and ever. Amen.
