A CONVERSATION between Mr. FECKNAM and Lady JANE GRAY, a short time before she was beheaded.
FECKNAM. Madam, I lament your heavy case, and yet I doubt not, but that you bear out this sorrow of your's with a constant and patient mind.
JANE. You are welcome unto me, sir, if your coming be to give christian exhortation. And as for my heavy case, (I thank God) I do so little lament it, that rather I account the same for a more manifest declaration of God's favour towards me, ⟨p. 287⟩than ever he showed me at any time before. And therefore there is no cause why either you, or others which bear me no good will, should lament or be grieved with this my case, being a thing so profitable for my soul's health.
