Then the Smith took a chain of iron, and brought the same about both D. Ridley's, and M. Latimers middles: and as he was knocking in a staple, D. Ridley took the chain in his hand, and shaked the same, for it did gird in his belly, and looking aside to the Smith, said: good fellow knock it in hard, for the flesh will have his course. Then his brother did bring him gunpowder in a bag,1 and would have tied the same about his neck. M. Ridley asked what it was. His brother said gunpowder. Then said he, I take it to be sent of God, therefore I will receive it as sent of him. And have you any said he, for my brother, meaning M. Latimer? Yea sir, that I have (quoth his brother.) Then give it unto him said he, betime, least ye come to late. So his brother went, and carried of the same gunpowder unto M. Latimer.

1In the mean time D. Ridley spake unto my L. Williams, and said: My L. I must be a suitor unto your lordship, in the behalf of divers poor men, and especially in the cause of my poor Sister: I have made a supplication to the Queens Majesty in their behalves. I beseech your Lordship for Christs sake, to be a mean to her grace for them. My brother here hath the Supplication, and will resort to your lordship to certify you hereof. There is nothing in all the world that troubleth my conscience (I praise God) this only excepted.
