Then Kerby taking his night cap from his head, put it under his arm, as though it should have done him service again: but remembering him self,1 he cast it from him, and lifting up his hands, he said the Hymne, Te Deum, and the belief, with other prayers in the English tongue. The Lord Wentworth, whilst Kerby was thus doing, did shroud him self behind one of the posts of the Gallery, and wept, and so did many other. Then said Kerby, I have done: you may execute your office good Master Sheriff.
