When she was at the stake,1 she cast her handkerchief unto one John Banks, requiring him to keep the same in the memory of her, and from about her middle she took a white lace which she gave to the keeper, desiring him to give the same to her brother Roger Hall, and to tell him that it was the last band that she was bound with, except the chain. A shilling also of Phillip and Mary she took forth, which her father had bowed and sent her when she was first sent to prison, desiring that her said brother should with obedient salutations render the same to her father again, & show him that it was the first piece of money that he sent her after her troubles begun, which (as she protested) she had kept & now sent him to do him to understand that she never lacked money while she was in prison.
