1The Uicechancellor therefore taking with him Marshall the common Notary, went first to Saint Michaels church where Phagius was buried. There he called forth Andrew Smith, Henry Sawyer, and Henry Adams, men of the same parish, and bound them with an oath, to dig up Phagius bones, and to bring them to the place of execution. Marshall took their oaths, receiving the like of Roger Smith and W. Hasell the Town Sergeants, & of I. Capper, Warden of the same Church, for doing the like with Bucer. Smith the Major of the town, which should be their executioner, (for it was not lawful for them to intermeddle in cases of blood) commanded certain of his Townsmen to wait upon him in harness, by whom the dead bodies were guarded, and being bound with ropes, and laid upon mens shoulders (for they were enclosed in Chests, Bucer in the same that he was buried, and Phagius in a new) they were borne into the middest of the Market stead, with a great train of people following them.
