Although the K. was loth to hear any mention of death, yet perceiving the same to rise upon the judgement of his Physicians and feeling his own weakness, he disposed himself more quietly to hearken to the words of his exhortation, and to consider his life past. Which although he much accused, yet (said he) is the mercy of Christ able to pardon me all my sins, though they were greater then they be. M. Deny being glad to hear him thus speak, required to know his pleasure, whether he would have any learned man sent for to confer withal, and to open his mind unto.1 To whom the King answered again, that if he had any, he would have D. Cranmer, who was then lying at Croydon. And therefore M. Deny asking the King whether he would have him sent for, I will first said the King take a little sleep, and then as I feel my self, I will advise upon the matter.
