Upon Saturday next was the day of execution for Damlyp. The cause which first they laid to his charge, was for heresy. But because by an act of Parliament, all such offences done before a certain day, were pardoned (through which Act he could not be burdened with any thing that he had preached or taught before) yet for the receiving of the foresaid French crown of Cardinal Pole, (as you heard before) he was condemned of treason, and in Calais cruelly put to death, being drawn, hanged, and quartered.

To the which when Adam Damlip would have replied & purged himself, the foresaid Sir Rafe Ellerker would not suffer him to speak a word, but commanded him to be had away. And so most meekly,
